CATTLE-There were about as many
cattle here as usual on q Saturday, that
is, not enough Of any kind to make a mar
ket
The receipts for the week show a falling
off of right around 1000 head as compared
with last year. but, on the other hand,
very large proportion of all the cattle
coming forward this week has consisted OF
beef steers, all other kinds of cattle being
in moderate supply.
While choice cattle have not been par
ticularly plentiful this week. there have
been a good many loads of fair to good
kinds so that the market has been well
supplied all the week up until Friday, when
there was the usual falling OFF in the run.
The market during the early part of the
week showed very little change. II being
quoted about steady, as compared to those
prevailing at other market points. On
Thursday there was an easing off, so that
at the close of the week values are close
to l0c lower than at the close OF the
previous week.
There has been very much sameness to
have been free sellers all the week at
good steady prices, and at the present
time are in practically the same notches
and old cows on the Gamer and cutter
order have been poor sellers every day.
Prices on such Cattle are not only low,
but packers appear to have very little use
for canning stock at the present time and
IL is a difficult matter for receivers to md
There is nothing new to offer regarding
the stocker and feeder trade; good feeders
have sold at steady prices. Toward the
latter part of the week there was some
tendency toward accumulation In the hands
rather light, but fortunately fresh supplies

HOGS-Today's hog trade was practically
a duplication of yesterday. The market
opened a little bit stronger than yesterdays
close, or about like yesterday morning. The
early sales were largely on the basis OF
Sc. 22ik. A little later on, after the more
of somewhat the same as It did yesterday
the later sales being largely at $3.50. The
bulk OF all the hogs sold at S. s0qS. nv, the
same as yesterday, making the general
market today fully steady with yesterday
While the trade was not very active at the
current prices there were so few hogs here
that a reasonably early clearance was

on most days the market has opened in

active so that the arrivals have generally

into consideration, sellers have been very
