C~ATTLE-As usual on a Saturday there
was no business of any consequence dong
in the yards, there being very few ca.tle
In sight, in fact, not enough to attract the
attention of buyers or make a market. Re
ceipts for the week have been quite liberal,
showing a considerable gain over the pre-
Wous week, although beng a little short OF
the record for two weeks ago ana t9r n
year ago. other market points have been
well supplied throughout the week ana the
total number OF cattle on sale at leading
markets has been 50 large as to bring about
a general reduction in values. ,
The market began breaking the first OF
the week and While some Gays have shown
comparatively little change the general ten
dency has been lower throughout the whole
week. Thursday the trade was In an es-
pecially bad condition, values not only be-
ing decidedly lower, but the trade eX-
tremely duh at the decline. Choice range
steers, of which very few are coming, as
a matter of course? did not show so much
change, but the general run of fair to
pretty good killers are all OF zoe lower
than last week, and it would be an easy
matter to point out sales showing even
more loss than that.
Cows and heifers broke down in about
the same degree as beef steers, being. gem
orally 25c lower for the week, some kinds
showing more loss than that and possibly
some not so much.
Tho market on stockers and feeders
started out at the beginning of the week
in very good shape, that rs spectators
were Tree buyers, especially OF the good
klnuS. Later on as the country did not
buy as freely as anticipated and as cattle

lators, the market broke rapidly, declining
July as much as beef steers. Thursdays
market was abeut the worst that has been
experienced at this point in a long time,
Cattle In some extreme cases actually sold
soc lower tnan the spectators paid for
them the first of the week, and, It was
will dispute that the general market Is all
of Doc lower than last week, with some
kinds even showing more loss than that.

HoGs-The run of hogs was especially
light, even for a Saturday, only twenty
four cars being reported in. The general
market did not show any very great change
as compared with yesterday. Opening bids
were steady and a good proportion of the
hogs sold In about the same notches as
yesterday. Late arrivals did not sell quite
so well, as prices were lower. However,
with a limited number on sale, the general
trade closed up fairy well as compared
with yesterday.
