"wait till you hear from us" An other good run came in yesterday, and permitted no recovery from the disabled state of the market, so that the week is closing with a loss of close to one dollar per cwt, on medium and lower grades of kill ing cattle, 40 to 60 cents off on middle kinds. and slockers and feeders, l5 to 35 cents lower on top cattle, calves quarter lower. Quarantine receipts exceed 800 car loads this week, making it another one of the biggest weeks. Top steers are still worth $S.30, hest heifers $7 35, cows $6 %, bulls $5.75, veals $500, stockers $5 50, feeders $G CO.,. quarantine steers mostly at $400 to $5. 25, cows $3 % to $3.50.
 Hogs here this week 55,900, last week 49, 100, same week last year 46,200. Packers succeeded in put. ting hogs down one or two days, in conjunction with the big break in cattle, but the hog market shows surprising recuperative powers, and has come up strong yesterday and to- day, or rather since the middle ol the session yesterday, market 10 to Is higher to-day, the Is cents advance on light weights. Heavy weights have sunk back 10 or 20 cents under the lights, and are clearly dlstanced for the time be- ing, top lights to day $945. On the basis of present corn prices. the market looks too high on hogs, but 1t is a good demand that holds up prices, and inability to produce hogs in large numbers quickly. A few more weeks of receipts ahead of corresponding week last year, as was he case this week, may change the situation.
 Sheep here this week 26,100, last week 31, 300, same week last year assoc. Prices have an extremely weak undertone, although no great breaks have been noted from day to day this week, simply a sinking market. Spring. lambs are now down to $7.50 for best, wethers up to $500, ewes $4.50, Texas muttons $4 50, goats $3.25. Large receipts of natives and hot weather are given as reasons for lack of action on the part of packers. Lots oi dressed mutton is floating around the East that cost F or IS cents to produce, that cannot be sold above g or 10 cents. This condition naturally causes packers to remain lima bad humor.
