Cows and heifers Of the better grades,
that is, strictly good killers, have sold very
We'll all the week, and at the close they
are bringing about the same money as one
week ago. The same can be said of can
ming stock On the other hand the medium
grades have been more or less neglected,
and in consequence of this, the market is
around 15q25c lower than one week ago
TIL stOcker and feeder market has been
very unsatisfactory all the week. While
receipts have not been very large, the
country demand has been disappontingly
small, and, in consequence, the market
has slumped for the want of a good buying

HOGS-A light run OF hogs today lost it's
bullish influence in a bunch of sharply
lower reports from provision centers and
prices suffered large d clines in both divi-
sions Order buyers picked out a few loads
at the opening at figures about a nickel
lower than yesterday, but packers insisted
on more liberal declines and were finally
able to put up their droves at reductions
| Of 10X15c. Movement was at time very
active, but very good clearance was made
before midday. Heavy hogs met with a
poorer demand than good lights and in
most cases suffered the full decline.
| y large share of the supply changed
terdays bulk of So. 25du9 30 Tops dropped
TO $50, shilling less than the best price
paid yesterday.
The weeks receipts show a heavy in
| crease as compared with last weeks sup
ply, but an even greater decrease as com
pared with the official count of the same
days last year In point of prices the mar
| ket has been very uneven owing to the
! uncertainty of the provision trade. Values
| were hammered hard at the opening, but
| much Improvement took place during later
| days, with the result that yesterdays sales
were fully dime higher than those a week
| ago. Today's break leaN - the market a
| shade higher than at last weeks close.
