receipts were still small at l22 cars, none
OF which were Of contract grade.
Oats were active at a lower level OF
prices. Selling on stop orders and by local

Provisions opened strong on a small run

good demand early from outsiders. Local
traders, however, were disposed to sell and
the market became easier. Later there
was a fair demand for lard and ribs from
exporters, which helped the price Of those

from the naming of a date-Aprll 3-for the

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were fairly
liberal this morning, and as packers took
hold in fairly good shape there was no great
change in the prices paid from those in
force at the close of last week. Cows,
though, seemed to sell to better advantage
than the steers. A reasonably early clear
ance was made, and as a rule statesmen
were well satisfied with the prices they
received.
The market on beef steers was a little
slow and rather spotted. Some statesmen
were calling their sales steady. 'and others
thought they had to take a shade lower
prices. There was no one class of cattle
that suffered more than other, and the
market could probably best be described
by calling II steady to a little lower. Buy
ers did not seem to be as anxious for sup
plies as they were on most days last week,
so they tried to pound the market a little.
The quality of the offerings. as a whole
today, was nothing extra, and there were
no choice cattle at all on sale.
Cow buyers seemed to nave liberal orders
this morning, and they were out, early, and
the market ruled active and steady to
strong on all grades. Good light cows and
heifers, in particular, were in good demand
and a good many sales looked higher. The
proportion OF cow stun on sale to the total
receipts was not large, 80 that a good
clearance was made.
Bulls, veal calves and stays all sold in
just about last weeks notches.
There were quite a few stockers and
desirable grades held about steady there
was an evident tendency on the part OF
buyers to get the cattle for a little less
money. Anything at all decent, though.

SHEEP-There was a light run of sheep
and lambs here this morning and under
the influence of a good local demand the
market ruled active and strong on all de-
sirable grades. As compared with the close
OF last week 1t is safe to quote all de-
sirable grades of both sheep and lambs
fully a dime higher and some sales were as
much as 1c higher. Everything changed
hands as rapidly as offered, so that an
early clearance was made. Western lambs
sold as high as 800, western yearlings
brought $62 and western ewes 1915. 1t
was a good active market from start to
finish.
Quite a few feeders were included in the
offerings this morning and they also sold at
fully steady prices IL the quality was at all
good. Common kinds were a little slow.
