SHEEP-The big bulk OF the receipts of
sheep and lambs did not arrive yesterday
until after midday, owing to a blockade on
the Union Pacific, caused by a wreck near
arrival the market IN the afternoon being
just about as good as II was Ia the morning
and before the close practically everything
was cleaned up.
This morning seventy-four cars were re-
ported and the most of them were In sight
when the market opened. As was the case
yesterday, good fat sheep were in active
demand on the part OF packers and sold
strong to lOc higher. Good fat yearlings
brought as high as $685., with very good
heavy fed wethers at S5.65 and good range
wethers at $3.50. There were no good lambs
on the early market 70 max a test Of
values, but the feeling was that anything
desirable would have sold to very good adj
vantage,
Good feeders, both sheep and lambs, were
in active demand and sold freely at good,
eral orders In hand and there was also
quite a number of country buyers In, so
that the demand was fully equal TO the
receipts. The only dificuity was to be
found In the fact that there was good
deal Of very common stun on sale, espe-
ciallv old ewes, there being more OF that
kind than for some time back While the
good kinds sold freely, the truck was a

CHICAGO, Oct. S0.-Heavy liquidation,
due largely to the denial Of the report tn6e
there will be large decrease in the winter
wheat acreage In Russia, caused q decline
OF 10 today Ia the local wheat market.
Buying by shorts brought about an almost
2 -0mplete recovery and the market closed
v,ady Nth the December option showing
:1iskof 5sc.. Corn and oats were each a
Y ssie lower. Provisions were 2AQ6c lower.
IrNIIhe sharp break in the price of wheat oc-
Nurred IN the first few minutes OF trading
and was oecasioned by liberal sales of the
December option. The selling at first was
attributed to local elevator interests, but
later IT was said that the majority of the
wheat was sold by eastern longs. The total
sales of December were In the neighDor-
hood Of 100000 blu. The denial OF the
Russian report was the chief bearish In
duence but there were a number OF bulltsh
factors in evidence. Among these were
continued small receipts in the northwest
higher prices for cash wheat at Minneap-
oils, firm cables and AN increase or only

compared with an increase OF more than
100000 blu. for the corresponding day last
year shorts were the chief buyers through
out the day. The market closed steady.
December wheat opened 1sc higher TO nc

closed at 733tC. Clearances OF wheat and

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were liberal
again this morning go cars being reported
in. A very large proportion of the receipts
consisted OF range steers, a good many OF
them suitable for beef.
There was a good demand for killing
cattle this morning and range steers of
desirable quality commended steady prices
and sold quite freely. on the other hand,
corn-fed beef, especially II of the medium
to pretty decent order, was very hard to
dispose Of. AS usual at this season Of
the year. a good many OF the fed cattle
are little better than warmed up and they
are not killing out to nearly as good ad-
vantage are the westerns. Hence pack
ers are buying the westerns in preference
TO the corn feds. The result was this morn
ing that corn feds, unless very good, were
extremely hard to dispose OF and the mar
ket on the common to medium kinds was,
to use a stock yards expression, all shot to
pieces. Commission men are advising their
friends to hold back their habitat corn
feds until range steers are less plentiful.
Cows and heifers were in very fair de-
mRnd and sold quite freely at steady prices.
There was, in fact, nothing in the way of
news OF any great Importance connected
with the days trade.
Good feeders were also fair sellers at
steady prices, but the common to medium
kinds were hard TO move.
