weakness being probable in the marlle
for such kinds.
Cattle receipts for the week were 81.
900, against SOFAS previous week ans
55,317 a year ago. The choice to prime
heavy steers were in quite as slim
proportion as in previous weeks, ant
the increase in marketing thus con-
sisted of the classes least in favor.
Dealers say that there is danger OF
over supplying the market with the big
steers for not all the buyers want thar
class.
Last weeks average price of hogs al
$3.50 was highest since the week end
ing Oct 5, 1905, and 39c lower than
high week last year, standing S2.0t
higher than the corresponding week a
year ago, 1Sc lower than two years
ago and 72c higher than the general
average for the corresponding week

] ago the average was $5.0S, while six
years ago it was SAG. and in the cor
responding week of 1899 only s3.75.
