DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-Wtth
an abnormally light supply OF cattle at
all markets last week and q demand
rather better than the trade looked for
market conditions improved materially
and prices closed higher. Beef cattle
were especially in demand and market
In good shape. Steers were scarce and
more could have been used. Several
loads of pulp-fed cows were marketed
from northern Colorado. best selling ut
$3.25 to 1856. Some choice Wyoming
range cows brought $500. and few
odds and ends landed during the week
at $3.50 to s3.25. Medium to common
cows sold all the way from $2.G0 down
to $l.75. Bulls were active and firm
and veals a little higher with tops
Quotable up To $500. Feeder and
stocker supply was light and trade
quiet. Country buyers were scarce.
but dealers had n place for everything
and paid good prices for all desirable
steers. Market on the whole Is In nice
shape and dealers here are looking for
very good demand this week.
The hog supply was very limited last
week and demand strong with prices
well maintained. Tops are now selling
AT SG.25 and the range down to $6.lIts.
The sheep market was very quiet
and the trade light. Demand and sup
ply was light and hardly enough stun
here to test the strength OF the mar
ket. Indications point to 4 very good
demand next week.
