SHEEP-There were not FAR from sixty
cars OF sheep reported in the yards this
morning, as against nineteen cars a week
ago and sixty-four cars two weeks ago.
For the week so far there have arrived at
the yards 1900 head, as against 5000 for
the corresponding hve days of last week
and sc, 800 for the previous week.
The u aims were much earlier this morn
ing so that most of the sheep were in the
yards by the middle OF the forenoon. Buy
ers for all kinds, both killers and feeders,
were out early waiting for the stun to put
In an appearance, and every one was evil
IDENTIFY in need of and anxious for supplies.
| The result was a good steady market on
| everything, with desirable killers strong.
AS has been noted from day TO day. the
/ market on killers has been gradually taking

delivered anything OF consequence, 80 that
the most OF the forenoon was put in watt

only few over sixty cars all told, making
the run for the day about on an avera &c
with previous Fridays.
With such light receipts the supply OF
beef steers was very moderate, as might
be expected, and there was not enough OF
any one kind on sale to make very much Of
a market or create very much interest.
Buyers, however, evidently wanted more

and complaining about the slowness of the
railroads in delivering the stock 70 the
yards When the cattle finally put In an
appearance the most of them sold in very
fair season at prices that were just about

Cows and heifers were also in moderate

stronger than yestei day. The buyers picked
up everything about as fast as II showed
up, and IT did not take them very long to
clear the pens when the trains were all in.
The COW market has been very good all the
week and prices have gradually tended up

AS usual toward the close of the week
there was no very great demand for stock
ers and feeders, but as the supply was far
from large holders generally were able TO

IS AND FEEDERS.

HOGS-Viewed from a sellers standpoint
the hog market was again In very salts
factory shape this morning. The demand
was OF fair proportions and this in face OF
disappointingly small receipts insured a
reasonably active trade. The hogs sold
generally at prices that were steady to a
little stronger and the most OF them
changed hands in very good season, that is,
as many of them as were received in the
morning. Heavy hogs sold all the way
from IS to $3.50, while the best lightweights
only reached $5.26. This would prove that
at the present time weight does not cut as
much figure as quality, the good loads OF
both heavy, light and medium weights sell
ing in very nearly the same notches.
The tendency of the market for two days
now has been upward, due apparently u
the demand being somewhat In excess OF
the receipts. The general conditions gov
erning the trade. though, have not changed
materially. Just at present the trade Is
at the different market points and that
means stronger prices. With the packers IL
control lower prices would almost certainly
| result RenrpEeutat tive sales.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct 2O.-wOOL-The
Commercial Bulletin will say tomorrow of
the wool market: The position OF the
Australian and South American markets
has strengthened prices here. The wooden
and dress goods mills have become more
active during the last week and they have
taken substantial amounts Of greasy and
secured wools A very good movement in
secured Is reported and sales of grease
territory have been generally confined to
small amounts, although the aggregate has
footed up to a substantial volume. Cali
forna, Texas and Nevada woods are III a
Of the wooden mills. A fair business in
three-eighths and half-blood neeces has
been done, and deiaine has shown some
Improvement. Pulled woods have been
comparatively quiet. Australians have not
moved to any extent and South Americans
are without appreciable demand. Some
further 1905 contracting has been done in
a small way in Idaho and Utah. The high
prices asked by growers in all western
states, owing to their unwillingness to sell
so early, have proved barrier to sub
stantial contracting The western wool
growers look for a banner year in 1905
and in many instances think that the limit
on prices has not yet been reached. The
from December %, 1904, according to the
same authority, are 1876, 3A pounds,
against iss, 1854 pounds at the same time
last year The receipts To date are 29O,
245, sii pounds, against He,65s,69I pounds Tor
the same period last year.
