DISPOSITION.

CTATLE-Receipts or cattie were the lar
gest this morning that they have been for
long time back. At the same time all
other selling points were reporting heavy
runs, Chicago especially having excessive
receipts for a Tuesday, This, of itself,
would be sufficient to make slow, weak
market, but, on top of this, was the
further fact that receipts for some time
back have been very liberal and packers
with their coolers full of beef were not at
all anxious for fresh supplies. Thus buy
ers not only here but at all other selling
points, were in a position to pound the
market good and hard and they We're not
slow about taking advantage of the situa-
uon. This would explain the sharp de-
cline all along the line that took place in
Late trains added to the delay locally,
and the forenoon was well advanced be-
fore buyers went out Into the yards or
made any effort whatever to do business.
When buyers did go out into the yards,
prices on killing cattle were l0q15c lower
at the very least and trade was extremely
slow and dull even at the decline. 1t was
very late in the day before anything like
O. clearance had been effected. This would
apply to beef steers, cows and heifers.
Stockers and feeders, while not showing
as much decline as other kinds of cattle,
were generally a little easier than yester-
day, with the trade not so active as Il has
been Of late.

Larger Export and Cash Demands
for wheat-Corn Market
Also weak.
OMAHA ian. n 1oO

OMAHA. Jan. IL. 1909.
Wheat still shows weakening signs. and
traders are favoring the down side tempo
rarily. They predict lower prices. unless
the export and cash demahds pick up and
become more active "N'
II Is question as to- whether increased
receipts at this time wifi more than check
the present cash situation, which has been
very strong during the past month.
The corn market Is not showing the
strength II should. but selling of late has
been heavy; realizing profits on the late
bulges has checked the advance in futures,
but the cash IS still strong and, active.
Wheat proved weak on general selling
and unexpected weakness in Liverpool
cables. Cash wheat was firm and sold at a
slight advance, bot the demand was of less
urgent character and looks like prices
might decline. &c.,,
Corn firmed up and sold strong at a
shade better titan yesterday. The demand
for cash stuff was active and all offerings
were picked up readily, Futures act rather
dull and traders are soalping mostly.
Primary wheat receipts were 600 bu
and shipments were 2s1, 900 bu.. against re-
ccipts last year Of $4,000 bu. and shipments
of 1870 900 bu.

HOGS-Supplies OF hogs at all principal
market points this morning were heavy,
and local packers were able to apply bear.
tsh tactics Of yesterday and Saturday with
very good results. About sixty loads were
on hand for the early market out OF a
possible full quota of 175 loads. Early bids
were mostly dime lower than yesterday.
although about twenty loads changed hands
a. ugures that were no worse than 561OC
lower. Movement, however was by no
means active at the decline, and IL was
well along in the morning before enough
material had changed hands to afford a
broad test Of values.
AS the hogs continued to come In and
the volume of business increased, Il be-
came apparent that packers needed more
hogs than their early attitude Indicated
and the market, instead OF closing weak
at the decline, showed considerable i'm
proVement. In fact, several traders ex-
pressed the opinion that the midday mar
ket was only shade worse than yester-
days general market. as far as prices
were concerned. Be that as II may, much
Improvement was evident and the tone
70 trade much more active. Opening 56D1Oc
lower with a good part of the declined
regained later would be the safest way OF
describing the situation as a whole.
A considerable portion OF the hogs sold
at sS.lOaS2 as compared VISTA yesterday's Z
bulk OF s. l5GI8.26. Tops reached IS 80 today
