CATTLE-Receipts Of cattle all told this
morning only numbered forty-five cars,
which under ordinary conditions would not
be enough to interest buyers to any great
extent. The demand, however, at the pres
ent time is so good that buyers were out
in the yards early in the morning, appar
emily eager to pick UP the few loads that
were to be had,
Beef steers sold very freely at good strong
prices, the days receipts being soon dis
posed of. This means that the market Is
now 40850o higher than a week ago The
market has been higher every day this
highest since July, 1903.
Cows and heifers commanded good steady
prices today and the supply was all
cleaned up in good season. The COW market
has also been advanced rapidly this week,
being a big 25c higher and in many cases
25940c higher than one week ago.
There were only a few feeders here today,
but they sold very readily at good stro6 &
prices. A string Of Utah cattle sold up to
$500, The feeder market has been Wildly
higher this week, an advance of at least
25c being made, and in many cases cattle
have sold a great deal higher h that.

SHEEP-Gt was another active market
on a llght supply In the sheep barn this
morning, but there was no quotable change
In prices. Six loads u Colorado fed Next
can lambs brought the best figure ever
paid at this point. nOtO. and everything
else on sale moved readily Mexican ewes
were good enough to command Sis, but
the supply OF sheep was limited, as usual.
supply Of live sheep and lambs thus Tar
this week has been rather liberal. but de-
mand has been urgent and broad at all
times, and each days receipts have been
cleaned up with little delay. High dressing
stuff has been especially favored by killers,
as a comparison Of cost OF sheep shows
that the high priced material Is really
cheaper than the inferior grades.
For the five days this week the net adj
vance in values is just about 25dfioc on all
kinds Of stock, lambs, sheep and y~ecrlings,
Top prices have been record breakers, OF
course, lambs reaching N010 NearlinEs
