The weeks receipts of cattle ON the local mar
ket have been the largest of the year, while
other markets have shown slightly decreased
receipts. The trade on beef and butcher cattle
has had an active tone and anything Of good
killing quality is selling slightly stronger than
a week ago. The demand has been strong aud
the increased supplies have been readily alb
sorbed. Very few we'll finished beef steers
are coming. few head sold up to $4.75 dur
ing the week, and right good class around
$40 to $500, but most of the offerings were
fair, warmed'up grades, which sold largely
rough killers went from So to $3.75. An active
| trade Oh all grades of COW stuff has again
been feature OF the market. Good to choice
butcher COWS and heifers have sold largely from
1925 to s. and few reached $4.25. Fair to
medium grades are selling from $2.65 to $40
and Gamers and cutters from $3.50 to $3.50.
| Indications point to a continued strong market
for good cattle Bulls sold well early in the
hnf lpto Off al
ing prices were not materially different from
| a week ago. Veal calves have been in liberal
receipt and the market has Weakened parttc-
ularly on the common and heavy kinds. Stock
ers and feeders Of good class sold in strong
demand all week and closed strong with the
good close of the preceding week. Light
stockers unless good, sold to hardly as good
advantage as during the closing days Of the
week previous Good to choice feeders are
quotable from $3.65 to $4.25, fair grades around
| So to $3.50, good to choice stock steers from
IS to $3.50. fair grades from $3.50 to sass
and trashy stock calves down as low as $3.50
! Hogs-While local receipts Of hogs display a
small gain over last week and the corresponding
week Of last year, aggregate supplies at the
several large packing centerss have fallen short
of last weeks marketingf due in part, no
doubt, to the bad condition OF country roads.
The market, up to Friday, was a steadily ad-
vancng one, prices gaining during that time
SC to 10c from the close, of last week. On Fri
day an easier tendency was noted, but prices
as rule were we'll maintained. Values now
stand in the highest notch since late in Octo-
Der last year, with conditions seeming to favor
present values being. maintained.
| Sheep-Values Oh sheep and lambs have had
another setback this week, closing prices being
1Oc to 15c lower than week ago on good
grades and from 25c to soc lower on common
kinds, which latter grades have made up the
big end of the receipts. 1T now takes choice
lambs to sell up to 81, while medium grades OF
killers going around $3.50 and inferior
and common kinds from $3.50 TO- 1915 Lambs
weighing upwards Of ninety pounds are being
Disseminated against Good to choice ewes are
quotable from $4.85 to $5.25. Good to choice
