Cattle Receipts at South st. Paul
Only 1000 Head, Hardly Enough
1872 to Test the Market.
The Hog Shipments Held Up Better
MANY Sheep Received, but
T.. Few on Sale. -. .

ceipts this week will total about 1900 head,
against 1900 last week and 1000 for the same
week last year. - Calf receipts for the week
hgure 2Io head against 40 head last week and
40 for the same week year ago Owing to
the light run, the trade has been quiet. Prices
generally have been little stronger and the
movement in stocker and feeder cattle has been
Z little better but the market has not had
fair test. The general impression seems O
that with anything like, big run the bottom
would again drop out Of the stOcker and feeder
trade Butcher cattle buyers are quoting prices
steady, but have in reality been paying a
lit more for their supplies owing wholly to
cents In spite Of the light receipts The de-
mana Tor mich cows Is not so good. Even the
very choice are barely steady, and all
others are quoted $30l5 lower.
Hog receipts for the week total &c, 900. against
the record run, of 26.4OO last week and 900
daily record was made on With n rn
or 1870 hogs, and but for the fact that the
week has been cut up with holiday. there
seems to be but little doubt that last weeks
blg run would have been topped. The week
opened with the market a shade lower On
Tuesday there was decline of 5M1Oc and this
was followed with a Sc drop on Wednesday.
Yesterday there was an advance of &c. 1T is
the general opinion that the bottom Of the pres
sn1 s4 tm has oost been reached hut at the
shippers to buy on wide margin and keep in
close touch with market conditions.
sheep and lamb receipts for the week total
centage of the stuff received has heen put on
sale so that there has not been an abundant
supply and prices have held fully steady with
last week at all times Choice lambs are only
quoted at $40 but extra quality bunch
would so"a tedd bring better price The
a good sale at steady prices, but the thin stuff
Is very dull and weak.
