grades Of cow stuff have sold at about

Bulls are selling at last week g prices,
veal calves sold stronger early IN the
week, but have lost their strength, and
are now about steady with last week 8

Hogs-The hog market has had but
one bad day this week, and that was
on Monday, when prices declined about
lOc. The trade since has been a grad

of Monday has been little more than
repained. While no sharp advances
are anticipated, it is generally thought

day sold from $4.45 to $3.50 and prices
ranged from $3.50 to 1910 for common
light to choice heavies. Quality aver,
aged rather poorer than last week and
average weights are also running

Sheep-An urgent demand still fea-
lures the trade on fat Sheep and lamb
supplies Of natives continue disappolnt-
ing and buyers have been forced into
supplies. Prices are strong with last
| weeks closing on lambs, and mutton
grades display about 10c advance.
Choice fat lambs are quoted up to
81, and strictly choice ewes would prob
ably land as high as SIS, altho nothing
| good enough to bring this price has ar
rived this week. The spread in prices
between sheep and lambs is considered
too wide and most traders anticipate
higher prices for sheep and for lambs
to hold steady at least. =,
