Denuer Markets.

/ DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS.
Sept. 16. Demand for good cat
tie was strong at the local yards
last week and a good volume of
business done. Receipts were
very fair and quality rather bet
ter than the previous week.
Good beef steers closed 10 to 20
cents higher and good fat cows
firm. Good feeders and stockers
are stronger but the palmer
kinds are no more than steady.
A small bunch of fancy North
Park steers sold during the week
at S4.95, the highest price paid
on this market for many weeks.
Other steers from the same ter
ritory brought S4. 65 freight paid.
Bulk of the good range beef
steers sold at $3.50 to S4.25 and
the poorer grades at S3.25 to
1915. Some fancy North Park
cows sold at 50. 45 to $500 and a
bunch of fancy Wyoming cows
sold today at S3.75. These prices
are the highest paid here for
some time. Choice Wyoming
spayed heifers brought $3.50.
Good range cows sold largely at
$50 to 50. 40 with medium kinds
at $2.65 to $500. Feeding cows
were in good demand at prices
ranging from $500 to $3.50 ac-
cording to quality. Bulls and
veal calves were fully steady and
trade active. Feeder and stock
er demand is steadily picking up
and supply last week very fair.
Good to choice steers sold at
50. rs to S4.25. fair to good at
S3.25 to 1918 and the poorer
grades down to 81. rs. Today's
market was steady with 1,SOO

sharply lower prices.
The hog demand was good and
prices are now at the high point
of the year, offerings today SELL
ing at $3.50 to sos quality just
fair.
Sheep trade was active but
prices weak owing to eastern de-
clines. Wethers sold at S3.S5 to
S4.00, ewes at 50. so to So. 60, and
lambs at SIS. Is to S5. so. Demand
for feeding sheep and lambs is
