October live stock movement. as shown
by reports to the bureau of statistics Of

The October receipts of cattle at those
markets amounted to 1,1SS,324 head, ex-
ceeding the receipts for that month for
the previous two years, and being greater
by more than 100000 than the monthly
average for the present year. The re-
ceipts of sheep show continuous growth
since the end of summer, the October
total of 2,263, O79 being more than double
the monthly average for the year and
50 per cent greater than the October
average for the past five years
On the other hand. the receipts of hogs
at the seven markets, slightly over LOCO.
900, were the lowest monthly receipts for
the year, except September. AS COM
pared with the October average for the
past five years, this years receipts show
a decline of more than 26 per cent
Stocks of meat at the five principal
packing centers are a little more than SO.
OO0 600 pounds, the smallest total reported
