STRENGTH IN Cattle
Receipts Were Light, With Bet
ter Glass of Butchers in
Good Demand
HOGS STEADY TO SHADE LOWER
Trade in That Market Characterized
by Dizziness, Every Glass of Buyers
Being Indifferent - Sheep Receipts
Light and Prices Strong to Ten
Higher, With Demand Only.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Cattle We're
strong. on light receipts, which lacked
quality. The better class of butchers,
particularly heavy cows and heifers,
We're in good demand.
Good to choice steers We're more nu-
merous this week than they have been
for a long time, which shows that
somebody has courage to feed them
under existing conditions, tho about all
of the country shippers declare that
they are losing money on the feeding
proposition.
Possibly it is for policy sake but
shippers are complaining of the poor
outlet for meat in the east. Local
buyers echo the sentiment here, and
so there is a general disposition Or
the part of buyers all around to show
bearish spirit.
The four days supply stands against
salts a week ago and 60,557 year
ago, but with local and eastern beef
demand slim and also light inquiry
on export account it is d poor time
for the cornbelt feeders to market their
holdings literally, particularly in face
of severe competition from range mar
ketings.
Hogs.
Hogs were steady to shade lower.
Trade was dull. Every class of buy
ers were Indifferent.
Shipping demand is again lacking.
1t is distinctly the weak feature of the
market. Shippers this week have tax
en- about half the number of hogs their
orders called for last week and their
purchasing is in about the same ratio
compared with a year ago. Shippers
took but 1887 Wednesday, and orders
We're proportionately light yesterday.
Four days receipts <this week have
totaled only $1,000, against 97,9SS a
week ago, but the small shipping de-
n1and has. thrown the trade we'll into
packers hands and since Tuesday
they have put prices down almost at
their will, forcing declines of 25@30c
in extreme cases compared with selling
in the Tuesday market.
Sheep
Sheep were strong to Toe higher. Re-
ceipts were light, and demand was

Stockyard Notes.

Putting in stockers while corn is in
debatable condition is risky. ut is a
custom defying process. but is often
resorted to successfully, with the OBJ
ject of avoiding the rush later on.
but should a rush not develop profits
are elusive.
Unless the eastern demand for hogs
picks up little presently prospects for
$500 porkers in the near future will
drop out of sight.
Sheep and lamb trade having
dropped so hard last week in getting
the benefit of,a little rebound which
is much appreciated in feeding cir
Giles.
August hog receipts to date are
about $4,000 more than last year
These figures do not coincide with the
arguments of scarcity theorists. and

tho that territory was full of hogs.
