NOTES ON THE
@ MARKET
Status of the Trade Given By
the DrOver...StOck-
man

Receipts today were 242 cars. The
fat cattle market was active and very
strong, with cows and heifers strong
to loo higher than Friday. Stockers
and feeders were fully as steady. Hogs
sold a nickel higher than Saturday;
from $3.50 to 500, the bulk at $685.
@6.95. The sheep market was about
10 C higher.
Beef Steers-Friday's strong clos
ing prices were we'll sustained today.
There was no quotable advance. Ad-
vices from eastern markets were not
~unfavorable and with only moderate
offerings of beef cattle and a very
fair inquiry from all the dressed beef
men, trade ruled active at good firm
figures and a clearance was made by
the middle of the forenoon. There
was nothing good to choice on sale,
but fair 1,o5O to 1,25O-rb. beeves sold
at $500 q 4.4O, with the common
to fair grades around So. so q 400.
Stockers and Feeders-There were
comparatively liberal offerings of
stockers and feeders today, but with
practically no stale stock in the yards
and a very good inquiry from both
yard traders and country buyers, the
general movement was generally fully
steady with last weeks strong close.
Good stuff of all weights found a
ready sale and while the market was
a little slow on the commoner and low
grade stuff prices were much the same
as last week and a very good clear
ance was made. On Saturday nine
loads were sent to the country n
last weeks shipments footed up POI
cars. Choice TO extra FEEDERS are
quoted at $40 a 40; good to choice
8 rs & radlu adal uaardltu rdtltrdlu
s3.75 q 400; fair to good stock steers,
50. so q $50; fair stockers, 1925 q
8. 10, and poor to fair grades, $3.50
q 1925; stock heifers. $500 a 800;
stock steer calves. $3.50 q AIS.
Hogs-The quality of the hogs today
was good, that is there vas a larger
proportion of loads having good
weights. Taking this into considera-
ton the market could hardly be call
ed more than sc and Z lie higher.
The market closed slow and weak,
some of the late sales being at less
money than was bid early.
Hogs OF decent weights sold large
ly at $500 q 6.95 and as high as 81
for the best heavy. The lighter loads
sold from Sc. 80 down.
Today's advance carries the market
to the highest point touched so far
this season and to the highest of any
since October 18th.
