CATTLE-There was a fair run Of cattle
for the day after a holiday and reauy
more than had been anticipated, taking
everything into consideration.
The supply of beef steers was quite LID
eral, a considerable PROPORTION Of all the
cattle in sight being made up OF mat KIND.
At the same time the demand was not very
brisk. Packers did not appear as anxious
for fresh supplies as sellers would IKE TO
see and the general trade was slow. Prices
did not show much change, some sales
looking possibly strong and Others weak.
Cows were in moderate supply and fair
demand 50 that the market was a little
more active on that kind of cattle, while
prices looked steady to 1Oc higher than last
Friday. The most of the COW stuff sold
in fair season.
In the feeder division there was a general
prevalence OF quiet, very distressing to the
buyers and TO make it still worse few were
expected. The trade sort Of figured IT out
that the country would not be in any hurry
20 buy feedrs so lonK as feed lots are sew
eral feet deep with snow. The result was
the trade was not only slow, but prices
were at least 1Oc lower than last week.

Harry Primeau Of the city clerks office

went to visit q brother.
when We left Houston 1t was raining"
said Mr.. Primeau, and it continued to
rain while we were travelling to Wichita.
The rain was getting colder every hour
as we came north and at Wichita It was
a miserable, chilling sleet.
Jim Jeffries, Frank Gotch and their
party got on the train at Fort Worth to
travel to Oklahoma City. They were the
object of much interest TO crowds all along
the line. Evidently the word had been sent
ahead. for at every station a bunch Of citi-
zens was gathered. Many photographers
were on hand at every stop, but jeff was
not in a summer humor and he rarely
showed himself long enough for the pic
ture men to get a shot at him. When Okla
homa City was reached fully 1000 people
had congregated to see the two big fellows
and their sparrlng and wrestling partners.
If indications 90 for anything, that aggre-
cation of athletes is about as popular and
interesting a bunch as could be gotten to-

MIR. Primeau found the cold winds from

anything the Nebraska climate can offer,
although most OF the time ne was with a

SHEEP-Under the Influence OF limited
receipts and a brisk buying demand, every
thing in the sheep barn sold readily this
morning at prices that we're sharply higher.
Most statesmen called the general advance
over last weeks close a ilat quarter, al
though one or two sales appeared to be
higher than this estimate. Fully 25c higher
on the best killers and Lq25c higher on
the common and medium kinds would just
about describe the actual situation as far
as prices are concerned. A couple OF loads
OF fed western lambs topped at $500,
fleshy n ewes from Idaho sold at S5.tO
and a string OF yearlings we're good enough
TO realize t57b Extra choice fat lambs

there was nothing Of this description on
sale today with which 10 test extreme tops
II is a peculiar, though logical elrcum-
stance, that there are seldom few feeders
among supplies on a day when trade is
active and prices higher. This feature Is
explained In the fact that a good portion
OF warmed-up stock Is absorbed by pack
ers when the run Is rather small. whereas
offerings OF a short-fed nature are forced
into feeder channels when trade is slow
and packers discriminating. There were
only a few odd punches that were sold as

a change q rev days makes
last Wednesday and Thursday II looked
as II the bottom had fallen completely out
of the hog market. The indifference Of
buyers was so great that one could hardly
imagine that the country was still eating
pork. Today 1t looked as II the counts y
had refused to eat anything else than pork
and that the buyers were afraid there
were no more hogs coming TO market. They
were all out in good season and the early
arrivals changed hands in a very short
time at prices that were 15G2Oc higher than
than Fridays early market. 1t will be
remembered that late trains sold a great
deal better on Friday than the early, so
that IL a comparison was to be made with
Fridays close it would not show much
over lc gain. A decent kin of hogs hav-
ing a little weight sold largely at and
right around $50, with good heavy on up
as high as $40, only sc under the ex-
treme high point OF the year. Lighter
hogs sold from $50 on down.
After the early arrivals had changed
hands buyers seemed TO come to the con-
clusion hat they had paid more money
than was absolutely necessary and the late
arrivals did not fare so we'll, The market
closed less active and with part Of the
mornings advance lost. SIM as a whole Il
was a right good market.
