pared with a year ago. -
The market on all kinds Of cattle at all
Of the great market points has slumped
verv batjly this week more or less demon
aliZation prevailing everywhere. AT the
close OF the week cornfed steers, wmch
have been coming very much more freely
than during previus weeks, are 25pfOc lower
than one week ago. On the Olner htlllo,
good range steers, being preferred by pack
ers on account of making better per cent
than cornteds, have not shown as much
decline; still they are anywhere from lug
l5c to as much as 25c lower on some KINGS;
The best fat heifers have been in good
demand all week and they have not SHOWN
much change, but the medium to talr KINDS
of both COWS and heifers are safely lVg -oc
lower than last week. Veal calves nave
held about steady. but bulls are safely
The severe break in fat cattle naturally
had a discouraging effect upon the buyers
OF stockers and feeders and the trade on
that kind of cattle steadily worked lower
until prices are 204S0c lower. All OF last
weeks advance was lost and the market is
now about as low as 1t has been any une
this season.

HOGS-Further loss in hog values took
place at all leading market points this
ingly. The decline amounted to lOql6c, all
weights being involved. Early demand
was better than late, closing sales showing
the full reduction noted.
Receipts were fully up to the average
both in quantity and quality. Heavy and
tho proportion of lights was limil ed 10
eight or ten loads. ANIMALS weighing 5V
pounds and better had to move around 81 IL
az 90 as compared with yesterday $ spread
of 81. 2O67 30 on the same class OF stock
Early movement was reasonably active Al
these figures and fair clearance was
made in very good season. - -.
Loads of mixed weights sold around 81 2,
al. 3d. the character of offerings determin-
ing the price. Lights brought as much as
ST As, fully az high as eastern tops, but loo
less than Yesterdays local top.
Heavy receipts and the tact that pro
visions and pork on the hoof have been
out OF line for some time past, were mainly
responsible for the sharply lower trend OF
values this week. Current sales show de-
clines of 65c as compared with those OF q
week ago.
