were more fat cattle in the yards today
than ever before. Other markets also had
extremely heavy receipts and the total
visible supply at the FIVE principal market
points amounted to over $4,000 head. In
view of this enormous supply, packers were
naturally very bearish.
The market here opened extremely slow,

the day was we'll advanced before much
trading wns done The bulk of the early
sales were safely 15@20c lower and the
market seemed to get worse instead of
better, so the general market could safely
be quoted 15@J25c lower. At noon there
were still a good many cattle in first hands
The COW market was also lower, but the
decline was not as radical as on beef steers
In the great majority OF cases the decline
would be covered by 10Q15c. Trading was

They were from the same lot that sold
last week for A.S5, but those that arrived
today were not considered as good.
Bulls. veal calves and stays all had to
sell lower in sympathy with the decline on
steers and cows.
There were very few stockers and feed

was very limited and as a result the market

sHEEP-There were right around 1000
head of sheep and lambs reported this
morning, and Chicago had 1900, with the
market steady on sheep and 15c lower on
lambs. The market here was very uneven
and sales were made all the way from
steady to 4Oc lower. The sheep and year
lings that sold last week for N.9o brought
A.50 today, or 4Oc lower That, however
Is explained by the fact that there was SO
little stun here last week that packers had
to pay more for what did arrive than It was
really. worth, or more than II would have
brought at other points This morning
packers had quite a little stuff direct, so
they made an effort to get prices In line
with other points, which is the cause OF
the unevenness in the prices paid.
There Is nothing new TO be said OF the
feeder situation, as both supply and de-
mand remain very light.
