Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1905-10-29

CATI LE-AS usual on the last Gay OF
the week there were no cattle OF any I'M
nortance here at any rate not enough to
make a market. AS will be noted IRON the
table above, the receipts OF cattle TINS
week have beef somewhat larger tnan Tor
the previous two weeks, but smaller than
for the first week of this month by about
loo head. AS compared with year ago
there has been a gain of about 1000 head.
THE weeks trade on beef steers opened
at prices that we're just about steady with
those of last week, The run was only
moderate and the more desirable kinds
were not any too plentiful, which aided the
sellers in keeping prices up. But the buy
ers were inclined to be rather bearlsh all
during the week and at all times tried to
force the market down. But as the run
of beef steers was only moderate ana SELL
ers were not disposed to make any con-
eessiSns they were we aT the market Si
was inclined to be a little weaker and was
slow, but on the remaining days OF the
week recovered its tone and the week closed
with prices on beef steers practically
steady with those of last week.
Cows and heifers sold of little on Mon
day for the reason that the receipts at
the other market points were large ana
the prices lower. The run here the first
day of the week was not large but the
buyers were very bearish and the decline
AZ the other market points aided them In
forcing the market, so that 1t closed about
10c lower on Monday. Tuesday saw an
other decline of about 1Oc but after that
the market firmed up little and at the
close of the week it is 10a15c lower than
last week All classes of buyers have been
decidedly bearish I'm their views this week,
cIaining that the market here Is way out
of line with the other markets. The run
Of COWS and heifers here this week gem
| orally speaking has not been or the best
quality and this has aided the buyers in
SorcinS the prices down Packers claim
| that taking the average condition Of the
COWS into consideration on the market II
is not much oTe sfan pr %ss weeS a tSc
| cattle coming forward this week has con-
! sisted OF stocRers and feeders from the
range There has not been a very good
| demand for them this week however, so
| that the general trade in this kind OF cattle
| has suffered a decline Of about 25c. Mean
! ing by this that the more choice stun has
not suffered quite as much loss as that
while the common and medium grades
are perhaps even a little lower. The
weather the fore part OF the week was 50
| disagreeable that country buyers did not
| feel like coming in and after that the days
were so bright that the farmers did not
/ their corn long enough 10 get in here
| HOGS-There was moderately large run
I this morning and most of the stun got
| into the pens at reasonably good hour
| so that the traders succeeded In effectins
clearance in fairly good season. The
! market opened In fairly good shape this
| morning on the good desirable kind OF
| hogs which were in demand at prices that
| were a little better than those paid yester'
day for hogs OF about the same grade. The
| advices from Chicago reported prices strong
| to a little higher, while Kansas City re.
ported the market at that point as beinl
! Sc higher. These reports served Il
! strengthen the market here, so that while
/ the trade was rather dun the market was
| strong to &c higher. The light weight
| STUFF was the more desirable and its wa!
the more desirable grades that brought
| the best prices That hind Of hogs was in
| pretty fair demand. while the common anC
| rough heavy stun was decidedly slow anl
| was steady to strong as COMPARED with the
! market OF yesterday. The bulk Of tn,
hogs today went at prices ranging from
! s. eNfi4 IS.
The market OF the week has suffered 1
! decline Of about 95c from the prices Of las
week. Monday the market was Just abou
| steady, with a slight tendency towarC
lower prices, Tuesday influenced by the
large decline at Chicago the market herr
went down and every remaining day thii
| week, excepting today has witnessed
| decline of about from &c TO NC, so tina
| toady the market closed with prices abou
25c lower than they were week ago
