UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS, Oct
Observation-Disclosures. 1000; shipments. 400. Not
withstandng the demoralized condition Of the
trade the receipts OF cattle continue excessive
and therefore only one result can be expected.
Throughout the week prices have been drifting to
q lower level but the change from day to day
has been uneven that it has been difficult
to make an accurate estimate of the decline
Prices from time to time have been quoted Zoe
TO Acc lower for the most OF the offerings but
occasionally the market developed little change
Dealers more positive in their opinions to-
day. and better idea OF the market could he
obtained The majority of the statesmen re-
ported all cattle, from the poorest to the best
25c lower than the average a week ago. and
therefore this is taken as conservative esti-
mate. There were few, however, that claimed
the market for extremes was I5c to SOC lower
The supply to-day was again excessive and a
large number were again left unsod The mar
ket for female butcher cattle was probably the
wors. Of the season account OF the limited
outlet. There just a fair demand for the
best cows AID heifers, but really good kinds
at any price. The best outlet was for cows that
coud not be sold at and cutter prices
There was only fair demand for tidy steers
but prices were below expectations. The market
for stockers and feeders was almost demoralized
and most of the supply did not sell, while those
that did We're CSC lower. The conditions now
could hardly be more unfavorable to the selling
side and there appears to be no prospect for
any Improvement in the near future. Quotations.

Representative Sales

Sheep-Receipts. 400; shipments. $50. Almost
all OF this week receipts OF sheep and lambs
have been too small TO encourage competition, or,
in fact. to invite orders from outside sources.
and probably that account the developments
in the market have been stronger than they
otherwise would have BEEN Just about enough
have arrived from day to day to accommodate
the immediate requirements OF local butchers.
and. in fact, on several occasions they did not
get as many they wanted. Prices have been
advanced probably CSC in all cases compared
with those prevailing at the close OF last
week, but such results were to some extent the
result of higher conditions elsewhere There
were just enough here to-day TO supply the local
trade, and with shippers trying TO buy few
the market active and all We're soon sold
at the best prices prevailing the past few days
Lambs sold high s5.60d5.s5. and ordinary
to good kinds were reported at s41550. Selected
sheep sold as high $3.50. and culls to good
sheep at f2.00Q3.2o. The market closed steady.
