stockyard Notes.

Few hogs were left in first hands
last week.
Average price Of good beef steers at
Chicago last week 1855, being highest
week in over five years.
At the six principal market points
last week receipts We're moderate in
cattle and sheep, but liberal in hogs.
The total for cattle was 100000, same
as previous week, and 1000 less than
a year ago. The hog supply was 49,
900, against 100000 preceding week, and
$4,000 a year ago In the sheep de-
.partment receipts were 100000. against
$4,000 previous week, and $4,000 a
year ago.
Last weeks average price of beef
steers Is 95c higher than a year ago
s1.S5 higher than corresponding week of
1904
Il. l.. Mead, the promising young
feeder of Collins, marketed three loads
of cattle of his own feeding that sold
at $685..
SO far as one can estimate the stu
alton from purely statistical stand
point it would appear that the oversee
dead meat trade is steadily expanding
at the expense of our live stock
trade. There is no getting away from
the fact 1t is equally clear that the
master butchers of Great Britain are
getting less and less of the meat dis
tributing business into their hands. Is
this merely an economic or political
incident, or Is 1t Il grave national ques-
ton involving many serious issues of
vital Importance?

terrific work of the Ames boys upset
their calculations somewhat and 1t was
only by virtue Of the speedy Hun that
Grinnell managed to land first. In
the 44O yard dash Carr of Ames stum-
bled on piece of wood which stuck
to his spikes, and he spent all his

stockers and Food ers.

Business during last week was on a
lower trend. Offerings were not very
large but the country demand was
lighter than 1t has been for q long
time, and buyers wanted the stuff low
err or not at ALL The market stands
lower than a week ago and the good
steers have suffered more decline than
the other kinds. Buyers have prac-
tically set the top peg and many think
they are taking considerable risk in
paying $5.25. The bad weather, of
course. had good deal to do with
the dullness in the market, but the dis
position of country buyers to get the
stuff at lower range was what really
brought the prices down. Qualify was
generally poor all week, and even the
cattle which sold up to pretty high
figures were not very good. Killers
were willing to pay more for the steers
with little flesh than the outsiders
would give. There was good deal of
traffic in that class Of cattle by the
feeder buyers during the week.

Sellers Prevented Today From
Forcing Up Prices, By the
Liberal Receipts
ACTIVE TRADE IN HOGS
Packers, However, Held Out Until
Late in tho Day, and Receipts Were
Fully Adequate for the Needs Of
Trade = Sheep Steady, But Trading
Was Rather Slow.

Chicago. May 11.--Good cattle were
strong and others steady Liberal
receipts prevented sellers from fore
ing up prices. and there were but few
instances where values were rated over
Saturdays closing.
Receipts last week were quite mod
crate, totaling 49,400. against 52,965
the previous week, and 1892 a year
ago. Shippers and packers were keen
for all of the medium to good light
and handy steers, but the export de-
mand fell to light volume, the markets
abroad being in rather poor shape.
However, under the brisk competi-
tion between local killers and ship
pers lack of broad export demand had
little effect on the trade. Had there
been a brisk demand on export ac-
count the trade doubtless would have
shown considerably greater advances.
Iowa offerings were mainly medium
to pretty good habitat steers.
A liberal supply of choice yearlings
arrived. and there was keen demand
for them
Shippers bought less last week, in
dicating that conditions in the east
were not as satisfactory as they
should be- They say they are still
experiencing much difficulty in get
ting rid of the heavy cuts, and conse-
quently favored the light weight steers.
logs.
Trade was very active, altho pack
ers held out until late in the day.
Prices were already a shade lower, re-
ceipts being fully adequate for the ur-
gent needs of the trade.
Increased marketing lately has Civ
en- the buying interests an opportunity
to hammer the market lite. but In
view of the considerable increase in
supplies a drop Of &c in the average
as compared with week ago, has not
put the trade in very bad way. Pack
ers are too short of fresh supplies to be
in a position to break the market bad
ly, while a liberal shipping demand has
proved another factor in holding the
market from serious declines in conse-
quence of the bigger runs.
Corn planting time will soon be here
and the big run last week was in
attributed to a probable desire
of hog owners to liquidate before be-
coming actively engaged in putting in
the crop. The west had big runs as
well as Chicago, but a week or ten days
more should bring about an end to lib
eral marketing, according to the trad
ers.
Shesp.
Sheep were steady. Arrivals were
heavy and trading was rather slow.
Statesmen scored well in the sheep
market last week. Receipts dropped
back 10000, but were larger than the
week before. On account of the lighter
supply the market was decidedly bet
ter Packers evidently had better
outlet for the mutton, for they took
hold more eagerly and bought freely
nearly every day. There was net
gain in prices of 15@25c in both sheep
and lambs, compared with the week
before, the light weights showing the
most improvement. The bulk of the
supply consisted of Colorado wooded
lambs. About Is per cent of the re-
ceipts are of that material.
