Supply on Chicago Market En-
ceeds Demand and Prices Are
Shade Lower For Most
TRADING IN CATTLE SLOW
Light Receipts Sufficient for the
Wants of Buyers = Fair Demand for
Stockers and Feeders - inactive
Sheep Market = Current Quotations
in Livestock Centers.

Chicago, Jan. Cattle were steady
and slow, butcher stuff and stockers
and feeders firm. While receipts were
not heavy, they proved sufficient for
the trade.
Nearly all the Improvement yester-
day was on the shipping grades Of
steers, light killing cattle holding but
little better than steady. AS soon as
buyers got their hurry-up orders fill j
they vanished. and the closing mar
llet was very bad In fact, all of the
Improvement was lost and there We're
Il good many cattle on hand which
could not be sold except ut d sacri-
flee.
Hogs.
Hogs were steady to sc lower. Liber-
al receipts acted as a check, as sellers
were unable to do business. Scalpers
and shippers We're the best purchas-

A western packer, in Chicago look

taking that position. Look at the
WeghtS Growers are running away
from a feed bill and corn is making
no yields. That tells the story. OF
course we will get a big January run
everywhere; under existing conditions
it will be logical but after that look
for spectacular advances. Lard Will
sell 1&c over ribs before the May
option natures. This big run of pigs
means Il shortage of lard and 1t is no
longer possible to increase the output
of that commodity by the adutera-
ton process. When liquidation Is
over there will be something doing
both in hog and provision markets.
Consumption has not been perceptibly
curtailed and the 1907 pig crop was
no larger than normal"
Sheep.
Sheep We're steady. but onactive.
