RECEIPTS

CATTLE-There were no fresh receipts
of cattle today of any consequence, but Tor
the week the receipts have been the larg-
est of any week this year and not far from
double what they were the corresponding
week Of last year. 1t might be said in eX-
PLANTATION Of the heavy run that dry
weather In the range country and conse-
quent shortage of feed is forcing the range
men to send ir their cattle earlier than
usual, and while quite number OF corn
fed and native cattle are still arriving.
Thus the total receipts this week were I'M
usually large, noted above.
Because OF the heavy runs prices through
the early part of the week broke very
sharply on beef cattle OF practically AL
kinds, though as a matter Of course 1t was
the medium and common kinds that sur
fered the worst. AS receipts yesterday and
the day before were much lighter the mar
ket naturally firmed up a little, so that
at the close of the week the best cornfeds
and the best range steers are not very
different from what they were at the close
Of last week. On the other hand the me-
dunn kinds of range cattle and warmed
up kinds of cornfeds are 2O420c lower.
steers early IN the week, but they, too.
have shown a little Improvement during
the last two days, but still are around Il
lI25c lower than last week.
Stockers and feeders suffered the worst
decline OF any kind of cattle. The best
tleshy feeders, that Is, the kind that pack
Ars VIII also bid on, have not shown much
change, but aside from that the general
run OF feeders and all kinds of light stock
cattle are SOQ5Oc lower than last week.

| HOGS-A good part of yesterdays al
vance was lost in the hog yards this morn
! ing on q fully normal supply. Trade wa.

1t was pretty hard to tell just where thu
market was. Sales ranged from steady L
dime lower in both divisions, good bacoI
and mixed grades selling at quotably firm
| figures at the opening, while the balanc'
had to move at declines OF 5QlOc. Shipper
bought cautiously, competition was rathe
slack between killers, and while movement
was not very active the big end of the ruI
changed hands in very good season.
| Heavy and rough heavy kinds bore tn
brunt OF the decline, as might be expected
prices ranging from IS .109S.2 Mixed wen
at =. 30lIS.40 and lights sold on up as higl
as S.S5, steady with yesterdays top. Rang
was wide and bulk scattered, IS. 2OGIS.4
embracing the larger strings.
Supplies are holding up decidedly wei
for midsummer, the weeks run showing
q good increase over either last week
receipts or those of the same week las
year. Discrimination between lights an
heavies has been severe at all times an
as the character of offerings Is very un

sales average up about 54lOc higher tina
those of a week ago. heavies selling 1
much the same notches, while lights an
