CATTLE-The supply of cattle here this
morning was again rather light, so that
packers had to hurry in order to get the
supplies they needed for their immediate
trade. The quality of the offerings as a
whole was rather common. but still the
market was active on all kinds from start
TO finish, and the prices paid were better
than those in force yesterday.
Steer buyers were all out early this morn
ing, and the market ruled active and
stronger from the beginning. There were
no strictly choice cattle on sale, but buyers
took hold in good shape, and a great many
sales were safely 5ql0c higher than the
Jane kinds of cattle brought yesterday.
Owing to the limited supplies an early clear
ance was made.
The COW market was also active and
stronger. Gamers and cutters, as we'll as
the better grades of beef cows, sold to
better advantage than they did yesterday.
The same as was the case with beef steers,
the market was 5@10c higher in a good
many spots. but that Is generally true of q
strong, active market.
Bulls were also in good demand at strong
prices, but veal calves continued to sell in
the same notches they have for some time
The demand for stockers and feeders was
active again this morning, and prices
showed additional strength. Offerings were
very limited as compared with the demand
and some of the better grades sold at prices
ouyers again took a good many of the
warmed-up cornfeds for feeders. This
strong demand for cattle to feed is helping
out the market on the short fed cattle to
a considerable extent. Representative

another string brought 1925. Yearlings and

Taking quality into consideration, though,
the market was safely steady on both sheep

mere this morning and the market opened
Just about steady With yesterday. BY the
Tune half OF the hogs had changed hands.
though, less favorable reports were received
from Chicago, so that the market here
and the close was slow and a
little lower. Sellers all wanted steady
before a clearance was made. A good
many trains were late i'm arriving this
morning, which also had a tendency to
delay the market. The light weight hogs
sold largely from S725 down. Medium
weights went from $7.25 to $3.50. good heavy
hogs from $3.50 to $735, and prime heavies
from S135 to S1.45. Representative sales:
