There was very fair run received
today, there being 226 cars reported in
up to noon.
The trade in fat cattle was fairly
active and for the most part prices
were fully steady with last weeks
close. Advices of heavy run and a
decidedly lower market at, Chicago
had a somewhat depressing influence
on dealers and business was little
slow at the start, although as soon as
it developed that supplies were none
too large for the requirements OF buy
ers the market became quite brisk
and practically everything in the beef
steer line was disposed Of in very good
season at fully steady and in some
cases possibly strong figures. All
classes of buyers seemed to prefer the
lighter and handler weights to the
heavy beeves.
Good to choice beeves ...... $500 $3.50
Fair to good beeves ..... IS. IS q 80
Common to good beeves 49,. $4 20 @5.OO
1t there was any change in the mar
ket for butcher stuff as compared with
the close of last week it was in the
direction of easier prices. Choice
heifery stock sold up pretty well and
as usual the Gamers sold about as
readily at about recent quotations, but
on the general run of butcher stuff
the movement was rather sluggish and
the trend of values about steady, while
bulls, stays, etc. sold freely in about
the same notches as last week.
Good to choice cows & hfrs $4.75 @5.4L
Fair to good grades $3.7 q 90
Gamers and cutters $3.00 q 3.60
Veal calves So.oV " o.VO
Bulls, stays, etc $40 ~ 9.o0
There being very little stock carried
over from last week in yard traders
hands, they were all out in the yards
early after supplies of stockers and
feeders and with every prospect of a
liberal demand from the country this
week they took hold of the very mod
crate fresh offerings in good shape
and cleaned up the desirable grades
of all weights at steady to strong
figures.
Choice to prime feeders 90 $3.50
Good to choice feeders 80 "a 80
Fair to good feeders SO. 80 GAO
Common to fair feeders ..$3.25 @3.75
As compared with Saturday there
was not enough change in today's hog
market to talk about. Some of the
early hogs may have sold little cas-
Ter, but there were also some strong
spots in the market as we'll as weak
spots and after allowances were made
the general market was just about
steady with Saturdays prices. Bulk
of hogs sold from $3.50 to $3.50, with
better grades of light and light butch
ers around $3.50 to $7.65 and on up
as high as $40. A right good car Of
Berkshires sold up to $7.75, the high
est price paid so far this month.
There was a liberal run OF sheep
received this morning, there being So
cars reported in. Buyers were all out
in the yards early and they seemed to
have use for everything in sight, but
advices from other markets were all
against the selling interests and as a
result buyers were able to bear down
the market. Sales looked all the way
from steady to 10 to 15c lower than
last Friday.
