SHEEP AND YEARLINes.

Closing prices for fat sheep and
yearlings were generally 15@25c high
er than the previous weeks wind-up.
Feeding sheep advanced 10c, while the
gain on feeding yearllngs figured
15@25c. Trade was active throughout
and proportion Of sheep and yearlings
was rather moderate. Packers had
good orders, and this, combined with
the urgent feeding demands, gave SELL
ers the upper hand, especially on late
days. Receipts were estimated at
$500, against 4,345 a week ago and 1870
IA year ago. Total this week 100000, an
increase of 1000 compared with the
previous week and decrease of 49,
200 compared with the corresponding
week last year.
Range wethers topped at $5.15, while
other extra choice kinds sold at $1,000
5.10, with many strictly good lots at
S4.S004 .90. No ewes went above $3.50,
while s4.25 bought fair class. Year
class was quotable as high as $5.75,
and others were secured at $5.40@5.5G.
Feeding ewes reached $780, Feeding
yearlings sold at S5.40@5.65, the latter
price being the best of the season.
Feeders paid s4.00@4.T0 for inferior to
choice kinds, or highest of the year.
Wethers formed small part of the
native supply and odd lots went at
S4.75@5.50 bulk at $5.00@5.25. Year
enough ito sell above $3.50. Ewes were
most numerous and ranged at $1,000
ASS for inferior Gull to prime kinds.
bulk at S4.5004.75. Goats landed at
s2.10@3.75. with some kids at $500.
Bucks landed at s2.00@4.0O, bulk at
s300@3.5o. Breeding ewes went at
s4.0o@5.25, and bucks at s3.75@450.

successful, and steady prices had to
De paid for bulk of offerings. The mar
ket had weak close and there were
occasional sales made at prices which
looked little lower for the day, but
reduced costs We're in the minority, and
after becoming convinced that they
could not force break all along the
line packers took hold on fairly lib
eral scale. Shippers also were good
buyers considering the moderate sup
ply of stock marketed. and there were
not many hogs left in first hands at the
close.
Receipts were placed at 1900, but
owing to the retarded arrival of a full
trainload early buyers did not find
many fresh hogs on hand and they
We're compelled to hasten purchases in
order to get their orders filled. The re-
ceipt Of the late train was partly re-
sponsible for the weakness which de-
veloped at the close, but there were
SUFFICIENT buyers still on the market to
furnish an outlet for most of the delay
ed arrivals. The days receipts brought
the total for the week to a little over
$4,000 head, making one of the smallest
weekly totals of the year, against 49,
248 a week ago and 1924 year ago.
Four packers Schwarzschild &,
Sulzberger, Roberts & Oake. Boore &
Co. and the Western Packing company
stayed out of the trade, but the other
killers made UP as liberal droves as
possible out of the limited supply on
sale. paying $7so@S175s for plain to
good mixed packing and $500 and
higher for the bulk of the good kinds.
Closing prices were 10c to 25c higher
than week ago, while the average
price for the week stood at ss.17, of the
highest weekly average since 1882,
when best hogs reached the record
price of 1895. Last weeks average
price compared to an average of 1913
the preceding week and $6.82 the cor
responding week a year ago. The next
highest weekly average price for a
week was made in 1902, when sales av-
eraged 1874. The corresponding week
of 1893 the average was only $40

PRICES TO REMAIN FIRM.
Expectancy at Chicago is for contn-
uation Of Strong Cattle
Quotations,

Stockyards, Chicago, Sept. 13.--Bull-
ish tone pertaded the steer trade last
week following the opening day and
dec1ines, where forced then were more
than recovered. Strictly good to choice
beeyes. which kinds held steady to
firm at the start, closed largely Csc
higher than week ago. although some
sales were only 15c I'D. Medium to
good steers and also a considerable list
OF plain short-fed and grassy kinds fin
1shed largely 25c above low point Mon
day liberal share of last sales at $3.50
gG.50 showing 10@15c gain on the
close last week. Cattle of value rang
ing down from $3.50, however, did not
snow material change from a week ago,
although these have gone considera bly
higher than bottom levels established
Monday.
Big marketing at 29,700 on Monday
aforded killers the only opportunity
they had in the week to get cattle at
cheap prices. Then, however, the fin
ished kinds were in comparative small
supply and held at firm levels. the
broad demand for these indicating
preference in consumptise channels for
good beef.
Receipts for the week totaled $1,000,
against 52,949 week ago and 52,949 u
year ago, but the increased run was
entirely confined to range marketings,
OF which there We're $4,000, against A.
600 last week and $4,000 a year ago.
Native cattle run at $4,000 was small
est of the season and carried lightest
proportion of choice steers in many
weeks. There were orders for good
many more choice steers than showed
UP, and it was the keenness of demand
which forced prices for all good steers
Of value above 1913 to new high levels
of the year.
Expectancy is for continued strong
prices for finished steers. The outlook
points to probable small nlarketings of
finished steers for. the next six weeks
and an encouraging situation exists in
beef trade, where packers are getting
highest prices in months for best
loins and ribs. Predictions have been
freely made of late that top steers will
go considerably above present levels
during the next six weeks.
Last week prime steers topped at
$3.50, a Csc bulge on a week ago. while
soc higher than top year ago. Com
pared with top a month ago T5c adj
vance was shown. Other prime steers,
including yearlings, sold at $7.9o@8.25,
the yearings topping at $s.15, while a
fairly liberal quota of good to choice
grades went at s7.40@7.S5. Big end of
the good killers and shipping grades
sold at $6.75@7.15, With medium to
good killers at s5.S5@6.5O, while lib
eral supply of grassy and short-fed
steers went at s5.25@5.75, with com
mon and plain light grassers at $4.25@
800
This weeks average price Of good
beef cattle at Chicago stands the high
est since 1902, or $685., being 75c above
the corresponding week year ago,
s1.s0 higher than corresponding week
two years ago and s1.25 higher than
the general average of the correspond
ling week during the past eight years.
