,CATTLE-There was a decent run OF cat
tIe this morning, ia cars being reported
IN as against 40 cars one week ago and
LOT cars two weeks ago.
Reports from Chicago and other market
points were not very reassuring this morn
ing, adyices generally indicating a lower
range or prices. While the market here
opened about steady, the good cattle sell
ing, pretty nearly where they did last week,
ness which made itself apparent whenever
the cattle would not especially please The
Cows and heifers did not show any ma
terial change, there being a fair demand
and a reasonably active trade at last weeks
prices. The most of the offerings changed
hands in pretty good season in the morning.
The supply OF stockers and feeders was
small and as there was a good demandHthe'
few in sight sold. fully as high as last-week,
In fact the feeder situation has been un-
changed for the last two or three weeks.
Prices have been very high as compared

SIS one blundered this morning
and as a result the Chicago market was
quoted as opening loo lower. With reports
of that kind in hand it was not surprising
that sellers In some instances cut loose at
prices that were &c, or possibly lOc lower
than last Saturday, and Il looked as. If
they were doing the wise thing at the time.
A little later IT was known that the first
message was an error and that the Chi
cago market was really only weak to SC
lower. Hence, after eight or ten loads
had changed hands at the decline, the
market firmed up, being fully steady on
good heavy and butcher weights. The
trade on that kind was active and the Of
ferings soon changed hands. On the other
hand, trashy light loads were slow and
lower, due. to the fact that no one seemed
to want that kind. As receipts of light
hogs increased, while heavy hogs became
scarCer, there is naturally a stronger in
clination on the part Of buyers to discrimi-
nate more closely as TO weights and quail
ity. Hence, with trashy or light hogs. IL
was not so much a question OF prices as
finding some lone who mad an order for
that kind.

SHEEP-Lambs and sheep, both wooded
and shoTn, commanded prices strong to LOO
l5c higher than last week on this mornings
market. The reported number of arrivals
totaled around fifteen cars, about half
wooded and half clipped. While there were
some pretty good lots OF clipped Mexican
lambs, the quality on an average was not
extra good. As a result an actual test
OF tops at the advance was impossible.
Several loads OF wooded lambs sold at
$500, and even though this price il
relatively high, the limit 20 which values
might have scared with extra choice sup
plies is partially indicated IN the fact that
a good portion Of this mornings 1900 lambs
were broken fleeces. Wooled ewes sold as
high as $6.S. This Is the highest price paid
for ewes in the history Of the market and
a dim higher than any price previously
paid. In March Of last year and April OF
1907 1913 was paid, the record price until
today.
Clipped lambs established another record
this morning, a couple Of loads moving at
$50. Clipped ewes were good enough 10

sequence in wethers or yeariings The de-
mand was active and the trade brisk,
everything changing hands before 9 O'Clock
