better today than since the season
started. This seemed to indicate that
they were quite satisfied that no fur
ther reductions would be made in the
price and that sheep were now good
purchase. Most of the mornings deals
In sheep were made with the Union
Meat company.
While buyers showed some incllna-
ton during the early morning to take
some advantage of the liberal show
ing of cattle yesterday, sellers held
out for former prices and in the end
the latter won the day. Arrivals of
cattle during the past "a hours to-
tailed 223 head, comparing with 4S5
yesterday, 261 Tuesday, 204 Monday,
none last Saturday, 115 last Friday
and 766 a week ago today. The latter
good showing was caused by heavy
shipments in this direction from Cali
lorna.
High Prices for Hogs.
Showing OF hogs in the yards during
the past "a hours was not so good as
during the previous period. While
no top stuff came forward; sales were
reported as high as So per hundred
pounds; indicating that the market
had maintained every ounce of its for
mer strength and perhaps could do
better. The slight indisposition of the
eastern markets several days ago has
passed away; followed by a better
feeling all around with all reductions

market in general has recovered its
losses shows that swine are in extern
sive demand with supplies not liberal
enough to fill the wants.
