MAS nothing OF any consequence on sale.
me receipts for the week have been very
uOeraI and have run largely to feeders,
mere having been no great surplus OF
kllllng cattle, especially the better grades.
very Few cornfeds have arrived during
the week, in fact, not enough to make a
market or to really establish quotations.
AS frequently noted In these columns. The
demand for coTnfeds is very limited. owing
70 the tact that packers prefer the range
cattIe at the present time. As a result
cornteds are very uneven sellers, depends
ing upon whether there happens to be an
order In for that kind OF cattle just at the
ume that they put In an appearance. The
pest range beeves, such as command Sc. 90
or better, have shown comparatively little
change during the week, being about steady
tair to pretty good kinds of beeves are as
much as loqi5c lower, with the medium to
common kinds 9o@25c lower.
Cows and heifers have been IN very good
demand throughout the week. and. although
the supply has been fairly liberal, everything
received has met with every ready sale.
Prices early in the week eased off a little,
but later recovered, and at the close of the
ago.
The surply OF feed RS has been very lsr4a
throughout the week, a considerable pro-
portion OF all the cattle arriving consist
ing or that kind. still good kinds have not
been so very plentiful and they are not over
l5d20c lower for the week. On the other
hand, the general run Of feeders are safely
2oc lower and the medium to common kinds
are SNTtnc lower than last weeks close.

HOGS-Hogs sold &c lower this morning
as a general thing, while the trade closed
slow at the decline on account of the heavy
drop in the market reported from Chicago.
Whlie there was no great amount of
activity In the market at any time, most
OF the hogs changed hands in fair season
IN the morning. Today's decline practically
wipes out the advance of yesterday, leav-
ing the market about where it was on
wednesday and Thursday. This means
that the hogs sold largely at $610d6. 20 to-
Day with good hogs selling on up to s.. 30.
The receipts for the week nave been
fairly liberal, showing a gain over last
week and over the corresponding week Of
a. year ago. Prices everywhere have de-
olined very rapidly. until at the close Of
the week the market here is on an average
about A5c lower than one week ago, or 75c
lower than the high time. Other markets
nave declined fully as much or more, the
trade at this point being in fully as good
condition as at any other market and a
good deal better than some.
