were 10 cents higher. Distillers were
in good demand, and butchers
stocks were steady. Generally, the
finish of the few animals on the market
was not good, except distillers, which
were among the best the market at
forded. Trade was quiet turnout the
session.
A general advance Of 10000 cents
since Monday has emphasized better
outlet for beef into consumptive chan
nels. The trade has worked off the
gloom which settled down over affairs
a short time ago and remained the
dominant factor until this week. Con-
tinued light receipts have brought
about the expected upturn in prices and
the sellers have come to the conclusion
that price advances beginning with this
week will not end soon unless the coun-
try is inclined to market steers much
more freely than recently.
Four days receipts this week total
81, 400, against 36,O93 a week ago and
4S,011 a year ago. The broader shipping
and export demand which has prevailed
was strong factor in bringing about
higher prices for the handy-weight
classes, while the gain for yearlings
was due to keener competition between
packers and shippers. Outsiders have
taken 21,500 cattle in four days this
week, against 1923 week ago and
24,49S year ago.
Turnout the week yearlings have
been the keenest sellers. There was a
brisk demand for liberal yearling sup
plies Monday the prices showing
strong range then, while in the We'd
nesday market the bulk sold 10 cents
higher, with some at greater advance,
and again Thursday the sales were 10
cents higher However, there has been
a goodly advance in prices for the fat
heavy and medium weight steers as
we'll, the trade quoting these largely
1o@15 cents higher, as compared with
Monday and late last week.
Hogs.
The close showed gains of to 10
cents all around, and in some isolated
cases there were sales made at an adj
vance of Is cents. Common light mixed
were the least sought after, and also
showed the smallest increase In values.
Good, strong weight butcher and heavy
shipping animals led in the demand,
and all of this class were readily dis
posed of.
| Chicago's hog receipts this month are
going to be the smallest for June since
1898. Estimating the balance of this
| month, the total will pan out about
100000, or around 10000 less than ar
rived in June, 1908, and nearly $4,000
less than receipts two years ago. This
