Market Notes.

Hardly enough cattle were received
Tuseday-3,500 make market.
On Tuesday the demand is usually
slack, and evidently country shippers
are trying to avoid that day. The de,
mand was pretty good, however, and
the few desirable steers soon found
favorable outlet at prices which look,
ed strong compared with Monday.
There was really not much with
which to test the market.
The country demand for cows and
heifers was strong and the market
was active with an upward tendency.
Everything good in the line of butch
ers' stock sold quickly.
A broad demand existed for stock.
ers and feeders and the small supply
was soon bought up at strong rates.
Inquiry was especially strong for the
good to choice grades, which were
very scarce. The main demand is
coming from Ohio ana Indiana.
More grease was spread on the to-
boggan Tuesday, and hogs continued
their downward flight. Sellers were
panicky, afraid to hold on, and mani
tested u disposition OF surrender. Re
ceipts were only $4,000 head, which a
short time ago would have resulted in
higher prices, but now, with very
weak demand, packers have firm con
troll and hogs sold 2OQ35c lower than
Mondays average.
In the sheep house the receipts
were about $4,000, which was a little
more than the demand needed. The
result was a dull market with prices
generally 10@15 lower, though the
choice grades of lambs were close to
steady.
Wheat prices started out strong and
closed weak. In a milder measure
corn emulated wheat, and in still mar
rover limits oats reflected the early
advance and later decline of the Other
grains. Provisions advanced stead
lily, closing from 15c to 60c up.
Receipts for today. April 20, were
II, 900 cattle, 1900 hogs and 1900
sheep, aga nst 17,5O4 cattle, III .07S hogs
and 14,447 sheep, for Wednesday, April
81, 1909.
Hogs today at the start made gain
of 10 cents but before the close the
market was weak and the advance lost
Cattle were from steady to 10 cents
lower. Sheep were very weak and
many went over.
Average price of hogs at Chicago
$500, against $9.37 Monday, S10l5 q
week ago, $3.50 year ago and $5.72
two years ago.
Eleven markets received 62,70O hogs
against 64.4OO a week ago and 6O,40C
a year ago. Total tus far this weel
$4,000, against $4,000 the previous
week and $4,000 year ago. Tota
for 1910 to date gas, 900 against s.5l7,
900 the same period in 1909.
