receipts at the South st. Paul market totuled
about 10,sO0 compared with coll last week
and 967S the same week last year. This weeks
calf receipts We're about $780, against 543 last
week and 635 the same week last year. OF the
local receipts this week, the big end, or about
1900 head were received during the first three
days of the week. Other markets continue to
be oversuppled with common to fair cattle, and.
this class was about the only kind received
Inc weeks close finds grass native steers and al
grades of COW stuff showing loss of 10@20c
from the close of the preceding week; fair to
good selling at the big end of the decline.
Very few western range steers have been sale
since Wednesday, and, while prices held up
pretty well the fore part Of the week, condi-
declines OF 10I2oc from last weeks closing.
One load of pretty good grain and grass beeves
were received here Friday and sold at IS. It
takes, however, a choice class of western range
steers to bring $4@4.25. while good grades are
selling around 3d. 1880, and decent killing
steers from IS to s3.25. The best grass fat
COWS are selling up to So, while the bulk Of the
good kinds are going from $40 to $3.50, fair
| from $2.15 to $2.35, and Gamers and cutters
from 81 to 81. Bulls are fully Csc lower than
a week ago. Most of the bologna bulls are sell
ing from $1.75 to 81, and good, fat, heavy bulls
| around $3.50 Inferior light bulls sell as low as
$150. Veal calves have declined about QUO
this week. .
- Supplies Of stock and feeding cattle were lib
eral on Monday and Tuesday, but the demand
on these days was of larger volume than for
some time past and prices held fully steady,
with occasional sales showing strength. During

''''p''''A ~ HOGS. : :,
This weeks hog receipts are about 5000,
against 5,s32 last week and 6,91s the CORE
| spending week last year. The market was
higher both Monday and Tuesday, but on Wednes-
day prices declined 5@1Oc on sharp break
east, and were about &c lower on Thursday.
Fridays trade showed steady to stronger ten
dency, so that the week closes In about the
same notch as the close of the preceding week.
With moderate receipts east, it is thought that
run in Chicago would likely cause sudden and
severe drop in values. The local demand Is
very strong and supplies are still running far
under the needs Of local packers, altho prices
here are higher than at other western markets
and such as to warrant greatly increased re-
cepts.
The weeks sheep receipts were about 1880,
against 16.72G last week and 1o,o92 the same
week last year. Demand was strong all week
for good mutton sheep, and all desirable stocker
and feeder grades, at strong to 1oc higher figures
; than last week. Lambs were dull and closed
) the week at decline of fully 25c. Best fat
, lambs sold at IS and good to choice ewes from
1885 to So. so. ~" - r.'E "@
