Cows and Mixed Stock If there was
any change in the market II was In
the direction of firmer figures for the
desirable grades and easier prices for
the common and canning grades. IA
good share of the offerings consisted
of common and canning cows and as
a rule it took more or less shaded
prices to move them. Veal calves
were in active demand and strong and
the market for bulls, stays, etc. was
active and stronger all around.

Stock hsifsrs. as AS
Stockers and Feeders There being
very few stale cattle carried over
from last week on yard traders hands
they were all out in the yards early
looking for supplies. On account Of
the very heavy supply and the late
arrival of good share of the receipts
there was a disposition to pick out.
the more desirable grades and these
sold readily at steady to shade
stronger figures. Good light and me-
dunn weight stuff also sold well and
the undertone to the trade was firm.
Common light and medium weight
stuff was inclined to be little drag
'gy but in the main sold about as we'll
as toward the latter part of last week.
4 Western Rangers Last nights
heavy rain was hard on some of the
railroads and up to noon there were
several trains that had not showed up,
although the reported supply was the
heaviest of the season. This natural
" delayed business somewhat as the
buyers We're inclinded to await the
later arrivals before filling their en-
tire orders. Prices ruled steady to
strong for good beef steers, the same
being true as to stockers and feeders,
but the in-between grades were a lit
tie slow in moving OFF, although for
the most part prices were in about
the same notches as toward the close
Of last week. Cows and heifers were
in good demand and about steady.
Hogs-When the market opened to-
day there we're only about 20 loads
reported in. Still buyers seemed to
want the hogs and the result was a
widely higher market. Sales averaged
Is to 25c higher, with some sales ac-
tually 25c higher. The advance
seemed to be the most on heavy hogs.
The market was bare of choice light
hogs SO that there was nothing to
make top and it is impossible to
say where they would have sold had
they been here. While late hogs did
not sell at quite such wild prices as
earlier, still they were safely is cents
higher than last week. Among the
late arrivals was one right good load
of light hogs which sold up to $3.50,
which was Aoc higher than Saturdays
top.
