CArTLE-There were twenty cars OF cat
tie reported today, but eight Of them were
direct to packers and not offered for sale.
Trains as usual were late In arriving a.
the yards, SO that there were not enough
cattle on sale any one time to make a mar
ket. For the week the receipts nave peeh
ia cattle advanced quite sharply on
the opening day OF the week., but me gam
was all lost on Tuesday. Conditions on
Wednesday were more favorable and me
loss was recovered, putting me market
on Thursday there was a good demand and
q strong market, so that prices were then
a little higher than the close OF the pre-
vious week. Fridays receipts proved 10
be much larger than usual so near the
close of the week, and as packers were
complaining that the market at this point
had been too high all the week as COM
pared with other selling points they old
not hesitate to take advantage OF the sit
uation to cheaper up their weeks pur-
chases. Accordingly all the weeks gain
was wiped out.
Cows and heifers were very good sellers
all the week and prices seeadly tenaed
upward, being figured as lOq2Oc higher Oh
thursday than the close or the previous
week, SO tar as the good kinds at least
on Friday when buyers took advantage OF
the near end OF the week to have Things
their own way and TO even up for the nisn
prices paid carrier In the week by wlplhs
out the most or all of the advance.
While the demand for stockers and feed
ers was not very large 1t was fully as
large, OF perhaps a llIllG ldlBNAB Nlloh NHl

that prices steadily rITiued up unul az the

HOGSwHogs toppled off their lofty price
pinnacle this morning. Early bids were a
flat dime lower than yesterdays bulk and,
aside from a few scattered sales that were
possibly no worse tnan ONgt1sc lower, prac-
ideally all of the droves that changed HANDS
during early ROUNDS suffered the dime de
cline. Even at me break noted, the demand
was by no means broad and packers no.
overly anxious TOR material. Reauy good
hogs soId at $s.4o, and II took an extra sooS
bunch to enclt "A lucent bid.
ABOUT eignty ioads were ON hand for the
early market out OF an estimate OF lSU
| Heavy supply, OF course, is IN a measure
responsible Tor the lower tendency Of
values, but sharply lower reports from east
ern points also served TO strengthen Dear
ish sentiment and depress values.
As the morning advices from
other points became more discouraging ano
the local situation naturally took on 9
more gloomy aspect for sellers.
From a dime lower the market developed
into a 1Oql5c lower affair, the big bulk OIL
later arrivals selling on this basis. A con.
siderable portion or the hogs sold at $3.50
s.45 and on up TO 1905, Yesterdays bulk
IL will be remembered, was right arounC
* 45dS.55. with the extreme top at S.6211.
AS might be expected during a season o.
record-breakIng hog prices, the market THU
week has been very mercuriAl in its con
duct. The general trend of values mas beer
much higher tina the close OF last Weel
during the last rev days, but today's shar
decline wipes out a good part OF the ad
vance. StiIl, current prices are just abou
l2baIIIkc higher than they we're last Satur
day,
