The unpopularity of the heavy steer
in the market just now suggests that
maybe the feeders better get rid of that
kind before hot weather sets in.
1t is generally conceded in all quar-
ters that weakness in demand for cat
tie isn't going to be much of feature
of markets in the near future Particu-
larly in event of continued light runs.
D. NJ. Moss, big feeder at Scranton,
had twenty-five steers averaging 99S
lbs which sold at $685.. He also had
eleven head of 900 lb heifers at $3.50,
and some $50 lb hogs at $3.50. He re-
ports farmers in his locality having
good luck with the coming pig crop.
James Nicholson, Atlantic, one of the
mainstays of the feeding fraternity in
that section, sold a car of hogs of his
own feeding on yesterdays market av-
eraging 241 lbs at s7.45 per cwt. He

BUTCHER STUFF QUALITY RATH.
Err POOR, AND HAD TENDENCY
TOWARD WEAKNESS.
HOG PRICES RULE TEN
TO FIFTEEN LOWER
Receipts Were Too Liberal For the
Needs Of Trade and Demand From
All Glasses, Especially Shippers, Was
Poor-Market For Sheep and Lambs
Both Generally Steady.

Chicago, May 2S.-Cattle-A few
loads of steers and several of COM
mon butcher stock comprised the bulk
of receipts. The quality was ordinary
and steers sold at steady prices, while
butcher stuff had tendency toward
weakness, due chiefly to the fact that
a large percentage of the offerings of
that class were Texans of rather poor
quality.
This weeks small run has been due
mainly to the fact that the feed lots
do not hold any very liberal guam
tity of steers. At least there are not
enough available to weaken the price
range much. since it is doubtful if the
country could muster two consecutive
big weeks supplies and it would re-
quire a series of heavy runs if the
prices were to e'put down much from
present levels Consumptive demand
still holds good. both in the east and
in local quarters, and killers are not
able to put up any surplus of beef
with which to bear the market much at
any point
Chief efforts of the buyers this week
have been directed in holding prices
from sharp gain rather than forcing
a decline AT the start on Monday
there were attempts made to get the
prices still lower than. last week, but
this effort was soon abandoned ana
since then the prices have worked
higher. In many instances the sales
have shown more than 10 cents gain
on last weeks closing. traders citing
numerous instances of sales as much
as 1925 cents above the low point hit
last week.
Cnpopularity of the plain heavy
beeves is an uncommon feature of the
trade at this season of the year. The
time is at hand when the preference
changes to the lighter cuts of beef and
in consequence the big weights, whace
they lack choice quality. meet poorest
demand. However, not enough of the
plain heavy grades are being marketed
to afford the killers much opportunity
to break the prices to any very low
level.
Hogs.
Receipts were altogether too liberal
for the trades needs, consequently
prices reached lower levels. ruling 100
Is cents below yesterday. Demand
from all classes of buyers was poor,
especially from shippers
Supply of hogs is fairly liberal at all
points, the five principal markets hay-
ing $4,000 more than last week while
the four day run at these points is
TO- 600 more than last week and but
little less than year ago. Broad ship
ping demand is the feature here. pur-
chases on outside account being one
third heavier than a year ago when
more hogs were coming. May ship
ments are only 1900 less than last
year. while receipts show decrease of
10000.
Sheep.
The market was generally steady
for both sheep and lambs. The latter
again predominated in receipts. and
those showing quality were easily dis
posed of, while other kinds were hard
to sell.
