DISPOSITION.

CATTLE-ReceIpts OF cattle today were
insignificant, as usual on SATURDAY. ana
there was practically no market For the
week receipts have been very liberal, al
though not quite up to the record made
last week. last weeks receipts having been
the heaviest of the year to date. AS was
largely of range stock, but still there mas
been a very liberal sprinkllng Of cornteds.
Good range steers have commanded fully
steady prices throughout the week, but the
IN between kinds or to put 1t in another
way, the common to medium kinds, nave
sold uneven, although no great amount OF
change is noticeable at the close OF the
week as compared with one week ago. on
the other hand, the week has been very
disastrous for the sellers OF cornfed cattle.
The packers as usual claim that tneIe
hundred between range or grass beer ana
cornfeds. As thes range In prices at the
beginning Of the week was conslderany
prices on eorDfedsi severely at all market
points. Chicago reports break OF 5Ogi5c
In prices, while the market here is safely
SOC lower than one week ago on cornfed
steers II takes right good cattle at the
present time TO bring, $3.50, and II Is
question II there areiany cattle in this sec
ton. OF the country at the present time
good enough to bring very much above
that price.
Very few cornfed COWS and heifers are
coming to market at the present time, the
supply consisting largely Of grassers. The
week started out dull and unevenly lower,
but later on In the week showed some I'M
provement, so that at the close quotations
are about the same as at the close Of last
week It should be understood that com
mon grades and Gamers are selling about
as low as any time this season
Stockera and feeders have sold very well
all the week owing to the fact that good
outlook for the corn crop has stimulated
feeder buying. and as result prices have
been strong throughout the week, and may
be quoted around l5920c higher than last
week.

HOGS-Only the most expressive terms
were used in describing the hog market
| again today. No two statesmen sold their
hogs In the same notches yesterday, quality
considered. and basis OF comparison was
laclinga 1t was another choppy, uneven
market IN both divisions, with the scale
/ OF prices sharply lower. Traders who sold
out early yesterday were morally certain
that values were AL Of 25d40c lower. while
terday's close ventured feeble opinions OF
lb9125c declines. AS compared with yestsr-
days average trade, bulk OF today's sales
appeared to be right around a quarter
lower.
Trade opened in halting fashion as might
be expected, but after movement was
finally started. a fair degree OF activity
resulted, the big end of a liberal supply
going 10 the scales In good season. Ship
pers bought cautiously and demand foi
heayies and rough packing grades was No
good from any source.
Selected bacon hogs brought as much a.
