ST. LOUIS LIVE STOCK MARKET

Ledger Special.
Natl Stock Yards, ILL.,, July II, 09.
Cattle receipts $500. Supplies so
far this week very light and all
choice heavy steers as well as good
to choice handy weights and year
lings have made IN advance Of 10 to
| 15c since last Friday. This means
that practically all steers good enoug
to sell above Sc are fully steady with
a week ago, and extra desirable year
lings would sell a little higher. The
| trade was rather weak on medium
grades and COWS and heifers, and val
ues for that kind ruled 10 to Ice low
er than a week ago. There has beer
no change in Gamer prices. Grass
cattle receipts in the Quarantine Di-
vision have been extremely small this
week, and there is no indication oil
any increase during the next few
days; hence, we look for a good ma
tive cattle market.
Hog receipts 10000, which was de
eidedly in excess Of demands. Yes
terday's advance was all lost, a few
choice hogs suitable for local butch
ers and eastern shippers sold early oil
a basis 10 to 15c under yesterdays
close. but at the close of the marke
to-day bids for all kinds were fully q
cents lower than yesterday. All thu
hogs bought by packers were on
basis Is to 25c under yesterdays av
erage; top to-day 1912 IL for ON
bunch assorted hogs; bulk sold iron
S7,65 to $500. To-day's heavy rul
, was rather unexpected and a goo
many remained in the pens unsold
While packers seemed determined t
hammer hogs down to a lower basis
we do not think supplies will contiI
! ne heavy enough to enable them t
" do SO within the next week or tive
A moderate run during the remainde
s of this week would undoubtedly caus
. a reaction.
