CATTLE-The supply OF cattle, as usual
on saturday, was very small, there being
nothing to make market. Arrivals for
the week have also been very moderate
showing an extremely heavy decrease as
compared with last week, but as a matter
OF course, the intervening holiday this
down the arrivals. The total was also
decidedly smaller than year ago.
receipts this his Week llE the desirable Kinds of
beef steers have gradually firmed up, and
at the close Of the week are quoted around
Zoe higher than last week. Quite good
nave put in an appearance this week, but
Il is no easy matter to figure just what
their value really is. 1t is safe to say,
however, that common shOrt-fed cattle
have not shown much improvement
Cows and helfers have flrmed up. in
about the same degree as beef steers, they,
too, being figured as 25c higher than one
week ago. There has been good, broad
outlet for butcher stock all this week, and
the market has been in good, healthy
condition every day.
supply OF stockers and feeders has been
small on most days so that the market
has been in fair condition in spite OF the
tact that the demand has not been any
too active; The more desirable kinds,
especially light feeders and yearlings, are
around lO9lbc higher than last week, with
other grades steady.

HoGS-Opening bids this morning on the
part of packers were not very much, II
| any, higher than yesterday, but they
speedily raised their hands, and when trad.
| ing actually commenced, IL was generally
| on the basis of &c advance over yester-
| day As II became apparent that receipts
were not very large, while the demand was
encouraging, the market rapidly grew
| stronger, until near the close IL became
fully l5c higher and very active at the
| advance. In fact everything In sigh
changed hands very quickly. the market
! coming to standstill for the want OF
! proportion Of the hogs sold at $6SOq6.9O
| with a liberal sprinkling OF the ligh
weights at 800 while yesterday the bulk OF
all the hogs sold around S.. 70Q6. 50, with quite
a sprinknng at $3.50 of light weights and
! one load as high as $685.. A glance at the
sales today will show a somewhat wider
| spread, owing to the general market being
| so uneven, that is, hogs of the same
weight selling wider apart than was the
case yesterday. The whole trade might be
summed up az good, active market, witt
prices generally loo higher.
For the week receipts have been very
| fair, but showing a decrease Of $500 head
| as compared with last weeks receipts
which, II Will be remembered, were the
| largest Tor a number OF weeks back. As
| compared with year ago, there has beer
| a gain this week of over 5000 head. Prices
! have fluctuRted back and forth, but the
| general tendency has been sharply down,
ward, and at the close Of the week heavies
are around 25p35c lower and lights S5GH45C
/ lower than a week ago.
