Inc disposition Of the days receipts was
her of load ipdirafed.

CArTLE-Receipts OF cattle. as usual on
a friday, were quite moderate, only ninety
Tour cars being reported in. Still. the run
was a good deal larger than on the CORE
spondlnS days of previous weeks, in fact
the largest of any Friday since February.
For the week to date the receipts OF cat
ne show a very slight gain over last week.
as well as over the corresponding week
oI q year ago. In other words, IL has been
ne iarsest run OF any week since the be-
ginning or the range season.
Although receipts have been so heavy
thls week and packers have been free
buyers they still wanted more cattle this
morning, with the result that the trade on
Deer steers was In a good healthy condi-
ton. The prices paid looked steady TO
strong as compared with yesterday. Corn
fed steers are now lOdl5c higher than a
week ago. while grassers are fully steady.
Cows and heifers were in active demand
tins morning and the early arrivals met
with very ready sale at prices that were
strong to a little higher than yesterday,
Some western heifers sold up TO A.0. The
market on the she stock has been pretty
good this week and II is now strong to loo
higher than a week ago.
Good feeders were In very fair demand
in spite of the fact that II was 50 near
the end Of the week and the offerings
brought steady prices. Common to medium
grades were very slow sale. as might be
expected this late in the week. Good feed
ers. both heavy and light, are fully steady
for the week. while the common to medium
kinds are 10u15c lower.

HoGs-rhe market opened this morning
at an advance Of 5ql0c over yesterday, Sc
lected droves of the best hogs costing
around $3.50 or better. The trade on this
basis was limited, and outside OF the best
bads, the market was not over SC higher
