steers, and yesterdays prices for these
kinds stood largely loo higher than a
week ago, but the medium grades We're
barely steady. while the weakness in
light common kinds also brought vail
ues for these back to last weeks level!
Considering the liberal marketing of
$4,000 in four days this week, against
5S,07S week ago, the prices have been
very satisfactory and general demand
broader than expected Outlet for beef
is necessarily broad. both in eastern
and local quarters, to afford the pack
ers disposition of their liberal pur-
chases, but the general demand is not
especially urgent and particularly for
the steers salable at $5.00@5.75.
Slaughterers have had fully enough
of these to fill their requirements this
week and any big supplies of them
again next week promise to weaken the
trade, while heavy liquidation of the
common light grades will also likely
meet with reverses in values. Current
prices for all classes of steers are rela-
lively good, but the trade confidently
believes they cannot be maintained
under much increased marketing.
Hogs.
Demand was not as active today as
the previous day, and the result was
break of five in values from the high
time that day. Shippers were not very
active, and packers We're slow to take
hold The best price on the early mar
ket was 6.55.
Sheep.
Demand for sheep and lambs was
fair on the best sorts only, and they
ruled steady. The poorer class of Of
ferings was not wanted, and it was
hard for holders to prevent breaks.
The quality was not generally good.
