Chicago, July 14.-Choice steers We're
steady to strong, while the medium
priced animals We're higher than the
best time yesterday, gains Of about ~
cents being recorded. Prime distillery-
fed stock sold at $40 Butcher cattle
were steady to weak, depending on the
quality.
Eastern orders are more genuine and
cattle which suit that demand have
sold freely at 10 cents advance In
fact, many consider all the loss or
Monday regained on all steers selling
above 81. Below that line demand Is
not so strong and there is decidedly
less competition. Offerings include
generous supply of the common and
medium grades of steers for which the
INQUIRY is not strong However, they
were sold with some activity where
they possessed any killing quality.
shippers activity in the trade for
well-finished heavy steers was an
agreeable change from conditions at
the start this week. On Monday Ii
was mean market all around. Buyers
then acted as If it were optional, with
them whether or not they filled orders.
but there was pressure enough behind
lHSlT ItSCS 10 LOIGt sumo az tINC, ~ iSh
bidding. and in some cases the sales
of right good heavy steers up to s7,509
40 were quoted 5000 cents higher.
and numerous of the buyers claimed
that these were sold on basis about
as high as late last week. Still, the
general opinion was that the good to
choice heavy lots were still 10 cents
lower than best levels last week, while
market for the medium and plain steers
was called 1O@15 cents down from
prices in force a week ago.
Hogs.
Hogs were strong on mixed and
heavy sorts, packers rallying TO the
the support Of weighty hogs, which
seemed a little lower in price compar-
ed with lights. The latter dropped to
meet heavy hogs, the range being con-
siderably narrowed thereby. Lack Of
quality in lights and the absence Of ac-
tive shipping demand was the cause OF
the break in these hogs.
Quality showed signs Of deteriora-
ton. There was a sprinkling OF thin,
grassy sows in the run, indicating a de-
sire 10 cash in everything marketable
around current prices. The slunpy
condition of the market does not war
rant feeding out, which has been the
policy of the grower all season.
Sheep.
Sheep were close to steady but lambs
were 25 cents lower than the best time
of Yesterday or about like the final
quotations Of that day top being 81.
At no time in the session were COM
mon and medium lambs In the favor
Of buyers. The market was pretty well
hooded with trashy light native lambs
which nobody seemed to want and
even the pretty good kinds were hard
