The disposition of the days receipts was
as follows, each buyer purchasing the num-
lnr pf hoad inAtnafad.
Cattle. Hogs. Sheen.

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle this morning
were extremely light, only twenty-three
cars being reported in. OF this number
fourteen cars were direct to packers, so
that all told there were not enough cattle
here to make a test of the market. The
few cars there were commanded good,
strong prices. Thus a little bunch of corn
feds sold as high as $7.25, but as a matter
of course they were good.
The receipts of cattle for the five days
this week foot up I,l50 head, as against
1924 head for the same days last week and
last year. 1t will be remembered that the
market broke very badly on Monday and
Tuesday. Since then prices have firmed up
a little, so that at the close of the week
the market on killing cattle 10 around 2Sc
lower than II was at the close OF last week.
On some kinds possibly as much as 40c
lower.
Stockers and feeders have been in very
light supply all the week and still there
have been enough cattle to supply the de-
mand. The trade in that division Is still
very limited and the market for the week
has shown comparatively little change.

SHEEP-Receipts this morning consisted
of only three cars-not enough to make
any showing whatever. Such stuff as
there was, however, sold at good firm
prices. The receipts for the week SO far
amount to 5,3l3 head, as against s0,l5O head
for the same days last week, and 1914 head
for the corresponding period Of last year,
In other words, the receipts this week have
been unusually small as compared with
previous weeks. At the same time the de-
mand has been a little more brisk, with the
result tina prices nave been steadily i'm
proving and are now 25q5Oc higher than
last weeks close. The advance has been
the most marked on wethers and yearlinBs,
while ewes have shown the least improve
ment. Spring lambs have sold especially
well. the best grades bringing 800, the
same as Chicago's top. Included among
the receipts today were a few fed yearlings
which sold as high as $40, with fed ewes
at A.Z5.
