DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards--Condi-
lions in the cattle market continue
more encouraging from the sellers
point OF view. The market last week
was strong almost every day, and at
the close OF the week prices were
generally called Is to Is cents higher
ond tie best grades. Common cattle
do not show much material advance
here. but the general tendency has
been upward even on these. Eastern
markets are quoting an advance of 10
TO IL cents on the best with others
about steady for the week Receipts
here were heavier than the week be-
fore, although lighter at most Eastern
markets. There was a good many
buyers here and as the quality OF the
cattle was very good. especially early
in the week, they took hold readily.
Beer steers have been very scarce and
packers were unable to get half as
many as they would have liked. They
are wanting good fleshy steers of any
weight now, but do not take very
readily to the half fat kinds offered.
Good cows were scarce. but there was
plenty or the commoner grades here.
The demand was excellent for the
good kinds and prices about a quarter
higher. Gamers show little advance
as the supply was liberal. but there
was good demand and they were ell
sold. Pulls continue strong and in
good demand Veals were In light
supply, but the demand was also
limited and no change in quotations.
Receipts of feeders and stockers were
heavy during the early part of the
week and the quality was very fair.
Later the supply was not so liberal
nor was the quality so good.
A good many country buyers were
here and they were all wanting good
steers. Anything that showed up well
sold readily and strong. Good fieshy
dehorned steers are 10 to 20 cents
higher than a week ago, but common
stuff. while stronger, does not show
much advance.
Hog receipts were rather light dur
ing the week. The demand continues
very good. especially for the light
weight hogs. Prices note little change
from week ago and s4.75 still repre-
sents about the top here.
Sheep receipts were over $4,000 head
during the week Few of them were
offered here as the bulk were billed
through TO feed lots. Those offered
sold readily AT strong prices as there
is a good demand for all kinds.
