week before and 1888 hogs and 121
cattle a year ago.
| There was small run of hogs and
a good demand both from local and
| outside sources, which made a further
\ advance in prices. The average mar
\ ket was 10c above yesterday. and
\ sales of good mixed hogs were around
\ 15c higher. The market closed steady
\ at the advance. Sales ranged from
\ S6.50@675 and the bulk of the supply
| sold at s6.60@6.75. The top price to-
day was the highest since May ~,
1903.
Receipts of hogs last week were av-
erage, compared with recent years at
n this time. Conditions generally IA
vored the selling side and there was a
\ good permanent advance in prices.
In the first two days of the week there
was a gain of 5d 10c and on Wednes-
| day decline of5c. The last half of
| the week there was an advance every
day, with the principal gain at the
close of the week. The close was 20
@25c higher than the close of last
week.
H Cattle Market Dull.
n There was a small run of cattle Sat
urday and not enough fresh arrivals
to establish new prices. Some local
\ packers were not in the market and
there was no inquiry from outside
sources. Trading was quiet, but sales
were at about steady prices. Sales
included fat steers at s4.40@4.9O and
stockers and feeders at $4.0004.75.
Heifers sold from $3.50 to $3.50, cows
from $500 to s4.35 and calves from
$500 to S6.75
From the sellers standpoint the cat
tie market last week was probably the
most unsatisfactory this season. Re-
ceipts were larger than necessary and
there was gradual shrinkage in val
ues. Good cows, all kinds of heifers
and light butcher steers suffered the
most and common to medium cows
and best steers the least The aver
age at the close of the week was Csc
lower than last week, the best cows
and heifers being frequently soc low
err
Sheep Receipts Larger.
| Receipts last week were larger than
they have been recently, but practic-
ally all of the supply arrived in a sim
gle day, and the greater part of the
week there were not enough sheep and
| lambs on sale to establish prices.
Generally steady prices, compared
with the close of last week, were re-
allied. The highest sales this week
were $1,000 for spring lambs, S6.40 for
wool lambs, $3.50 for clipped lambs,
$475 for yearlings and $4.25 for clip
ped sheep. There were no fresh ar
rivals Saturday.
