CAI1I.E--There was another nperal run
of catIle here this morning, ana although
trading was rather slow there was not
mucn change in the prices palo. AS gen
eral thing the commoner grades were the
hardest to sell.
The beef steer market was very slow In
opening and the market could best be de-
scribed by calling 1t steady to a shade
lower. Buyers did not take hold with a
great deal of life, and while they bought
up the more desirable grades at just about
steady prices they were inclined to be bear
ish on the commoner kinds. The big bulk
of the receipts consisted of steers, and as
trading was rather slow from start to
finish 1t was late before clearance was
made.
The cow market was also little slow
with prices ranging steady to little lower
There was considerable unevenness in the
prices paid, but as general thing the
choice grades, while Gamers sold without
much trouble at just about steady prices.
There was not a very large run of cows
on hand, so the bulk of the arrivals was
disposed of at a reasonably early hour
Bulls, veal calves and stays all sold In
Iust about the same notches they did yes
terday
The stocker and feeder market was not
very we'll supplied this morning, and in fact
there were scarcely enough thin cattle to
make a test OF the situation. 1t was evil
dent, though, that speculators were all
anxious for thin cattle of good quality, and
in the absence of any number answering
10 that description they bought the
warmeA-up cattle at good steady prices.

HOGS-There was another very heavy run
of hogs here today. which makes the sup
ply for the four days this week 5l,S6l,
against HSO7 for the same days of last
week and S7,93S for the same days of last
year. Other markets have also had very
liberal runs, so the rapid break In prices
is not to be wondered at. Another bear
element on the market today was the fact
that 1t Is expected that there will be no
killing done on Saturday at the different
packing houses, as Decoration day will be
observed as a holiday. That being the case
large proportion of the hogs that are
bought by packers the remainder of this
week will have to be carried over until
next week. Several OF the commission men
were wiring their shippers today not to
ship their hogs for this weeks market.
The market today was extremely dull and
lower. AT the start few loads sold steady
to a shade lower, but there were not
enough loads sold that way to make
market After the first round packers were
bidding 5QlOc lower and wanted to buy
their droves at $40 and $5.721h. Sellers
were not willing to take off that much, 80
very little business was transacted until q
late hour. Representative sales:
The situation did not improve any as the
morning advanced and the bulk of the me-
dium weight hogs sold at $50 and So TN,
with the choicer loads selling from 1915 TO
$3.50 lhe light and commoner hogs sold
from 800 down. At noon there were still
good many hogs in first hands, but the
