TINS week last Vt li,V9o oo,044 1898
There was very moderate run of
cattle received today, only 141 loads
being reported in up to noon.
BEEF STEERS Conditions sur
rounding the fat cattle market were
much the same as toward the latter
part of last week and there was not
much change in prices one way or the
other as far as the desirable grades
were concerned. Both local packers
land eastern buyers were out after
the good, heavy beeves and in some
cas- these sold little stronger than
lon Friday. On the other hand, all
classes of buyers were Indifferent bid
ders on the plain and light weight
Istuff and it generally took more or less
shaded figures to move them. Outside
| of the best beeves the trade was rath-
Ter slow and draggy and at noon there
were quite few of the common light
cattle still unsold on which bids were
in many cases 10 to zoe lower than
the close of last week.

COWS AND MIXED STOCK If
there was any change in the market
for COWS and heifers it was in the di-
Erection of easier figures for the ordin-
AIRY run of butcher and Gamer stock.
Both local packers and buyers were
after the good to choice fat stock and
general paid steady prices for anything
iof this character. On the general run
Iof plain and medium COWS the trade
was rather slow. Aside from its dull
ness, the trade was not q great deal
different from Friday and for the most
part prices were about steady at last
weeks decline. Veal calves were in
good demand and quotably firm, and
bulls, stays, etc. sold about the same
as toward the close of last week.

STOCKERS AND FEEDERS-As
there was nothing of any consequence
carried over from last week and fresh
supplies were also light this morning,
there was rather better undertone to
the general market. The inquiry was
chiefly for the good to choice light
weight steers and heifers and any
thing of this kind sold readily at fully
steady to possibly a little stronger
4 figures. Anything that lacked in quail
" was slow in moving and prices were
in about the same notches as at the
lclose of last week.

II Stock hoiForc or
HOGS-Prices in the hog yards
ruled shade higher on a barely nor
NAL supply. The opening and the close
were trife weak but the big bulk
Iof the receipts brought quotably strong
figures. Packers took the bulk of the
y offerings and good clearance was
made by noon. Bulk of the offerings
changd hands at $9.4O to $9.45. tops
reached $3.50 the same as Saturday.
SHEEP-On a fully normal supply,
the trade was slow and draggy from
start to finish. Advices from the east
were still discouraging and the trend
Ief prices at this point decidedly lower
Many Of the early bids looked to be
about 35 to SOC lower than last Fri
day and after more or less dickering
trading finally started Is to 25c lower
, figures, the bulk of sales showing
slthis decline. There was nothing
lsrtictly prime on sale in the way Of
: shorn lambs but stock OF this descrip
3 ton would probably sell pretty close
to $40. Current quotations on shorI
5 lambs and sheep are pretty close tt
so to 75c lower than year ago.
