Small Receipts Today Checked
Recent Weakness, Run of
Prices About Unchanged
CHOICE GRADES WERE HIGHER
Cows and Heifers Were Active at
Stronger Prices-stockers and Feed
ers Were Only Fairly Active-Hoss
Supply Was Large Today and Prices
Were Somewhat Lower.

Chicago, Jan. 80. = Cattle - Small
receipts checked the recent weakness
at the start. There was much i'm
proved demand, prices ruling steady
for the general run, and 10 higher on
an average for good to choice fat
steers. Cows and heifers were active
at stronger prices. Stockers and feed
ers only fairly active.
Last week was disastrous one for
the shippers of under weight cattle and
the coming week offers little more in
ducement for shippers to forward that
class. In fact both buyers and sellers
here have declared the situation seems
more dangerous for the week than any
time in months for anything like big
run of cattle. Eastern trade is badly
upset by the blockade that held cattle
back day or two and local packers
fear a shortage of cars in which to
move out the dressed beef that has
filled the coolers so full that only
meager purchases of live cattle can be
made until broader outlet is open for
beef.
There was a big supply today and
prices were 21s@5 lower altho local
and shipping demand was active.
The sharp advance in prices for hogs
during the first half of last week cul-
minating in SIS top for heavy and
S4.S5 top for light on Thursday, result
ed in a very large increase in receipts
for the closing days of the week.
Prices at the high point We're soc above
the prices current at the close of the
week before.
Quality of the hogs this week has
generally been good and Fridays run
included an unusually large proportion
of desirable medium weight hogs. The
late receipts on Friday, however, in

Smaller offerings came at time

The course of market events last
week suggests the improperly of ship
ping unfinished stuff, as it is ON this
kind that the heaviest declines have
been enforced. Sheep holders all over
the country appear to be animated by
an abnormal desire to reach Market
prematurely. There never has been
January when the average quality was
as low as at present. This coupled
with bad dressed mutton, markets
down east have contributed to the re-
cent decline.
Trade has suffered considerable up
heaval. Quite spread has been estab-
lished between choice lambs and the
rank and file of shrinky stuff which
has not been dressing well and wnlcn
huvers are now endeavoring to put on
a plane proportionate to prime kinds.

maneuvering, had it adopted as the UNI
finished business of the senate during
the succeeding short session.
For three months he kept it in the
forefront, ruthlessly sweeping aside all
Of the pet projects of his colleagues
and permitting only appropriation bills
to receive consideration. He had
clear majority of the senate behind him
at the time and if he could have reach
ed an agreement for a vote the bill
would have passed.
Opposition is Sudden.
The most amazing feature of tbs
opposition that developed against the
bill was it's suddenness. At the close
of the first session Of the fifty seventh
congress everybody presumed that the
admission of the four territories was to
all intents and purposes accomplish
ed. During the recess however, 1nf1u-
entail republican senators from New
England and a few from the middle
western states changed their minds a.
bout the desirability Of creating four
new states and they opposed the Dill
with enough persistence to prevent
vote being taken upon its passage.
The pending bill is a compromise.
1t provides for the admission OF two
states. New Mexico and Arizona to
comprize one and Oklahoma and In
dian Territory the other. The propo-
sition to join New Mexico and Arizona
has aroused the people of those terri
tories to a height of indignation That
can only be appreciated by persons
who have listened to their objections to
the plan. :,
Arizona objects to association with
New Mexico upon the grounds that
their territory is American and prog
ressive, while New Mexico is distinct
ly Mexican and retrogressive. New
Mexico objects to union with Arizona
upon the broad ground that she is bet
ter than her western neighbor.
The conflicting appeals which they
have sent to the senate have satisfied
a great many disinterested senator's
that such a union as the bill contem-
plates is abhorrent to both and, there
fore, ought not to be consummated.
This consideration has operated to
influence enough senators to oppose tue
pending bill to make it's passage inn
possible.

January Hoo Market.

A total of S22,1OO head of cattle, hogs
and sheep was received at the six lead
ing western markets this week, against
S02,S00 the previous week, 733,60O year

Chicago alone received POI, 900 of the
$4,000 cattle received at six leading
western markets thus far this year.
Over half the increase of 100000 in
receipts of hogs at six markets for the
year to date was at Chicago. OF the
1,76S,000 hogs at six markets thus far
this year Chicago received s4s,500, not
including about 10000 billed direct to
packers since the first of the year.
Six markets heceived 100000 cat
tie. hogs and sheep for 1906, to date
showing a decrease of 10000 compar
ed with the combined total year ago.
Thus far this year the six markets
received $4,000 less sheep than year
ago, the falling off being largely at
Chicago and yet Chicago received
$4,000 of the 624,000 at six markets.
