CATTLE-ThO beef market was practi-
cally barren Of supplies today, as very little
fresh stuff was received and each previous
days clearance this week was practically
complete. Since last Saturday over 10000
head OF butcher and feeder cattle have ar
rived or, In other words, 1900 less than
the run OF last week. The weeks receipts
also show q 1900 decrease, as compared
with the same week a year ago.
Supplies OF good, fed beef steers have
been very limited on all days, so thst any
intelligent comparison of prices from time
to time has been extremely difficult Very
good 1.250 and 1,30O-lb beeves are closing
right around S5.75d6.10, with warmed up
stuff from $3.50 down. Eastern markets
have shown q sharp decline of values and
quarter declines at this point are safely
even sellers, however as neither buyers
nor sellers can form q very definite Idea
Of how they will dress out after they are
There has been a little better tone to
the market for cows and heifers, owing to
the fact that packers are making every eff
fort to cheaper cost and naturally favor
the less expensive kinds Compared with
a week ago the market shows very little
change. The outlet for good to choice
has been ample from start to finish, while
fair to medium stuff has been more or lesa
drAggy.
The proportion Of stockers and feeders
has been relatively light, and while the
country demand Is not particularly brisk,
yard traders have beeen free buyers right
along. CLOSING quotations snow net al
Vances of 26GS5o Sharply decreased re-
ceipts in western rangers this week indi-
cate that the end of the range season Is
here. Supplies have been small and have
included comparatively few beef cattle.
Prices have ruled fully steady and packers
are still favoring good rangers in prefer
snce to short fed and warmed up grades.
In stockers and feeders the demand has
beeen greater than the supply and the
trend Of values has been stronger. The

HOGS-Today's hog trade was double
barreled--one market for heavies and a DIFF
ferent one for lights. Butcher grades were
wanted, but bacon weights were avoided at
recent cost and prices suffered. About half
a dozen loads of the latter class of stock
arrived but bacon curers in the east are
showing q strong disposition TO narrow the
spread and limited offerings are Of little
bullish value. Heavy and butcher hogs
sold in good, firm notches this morning,
while light and light mixed showed declines
Of 6810o.
The demand from shippers was Of very
meager volume, as has been the case all
week. but packers bought freely from the
start and the moderate receipts were
cleaned up within the two hours after open
ing Lard weights ranged from $40 20
S7s5 with good mixed moving around S7.95.
Light hogs sold up as high as $50, q
nickel less than yesterdays high price on
| full loads.
Aside from the fact that more light hogs
were included In the daily runs this week
the supply has been little different from
that OF the previous week Trade has been
alternately higher and lower, however, so
| that current prices on ordinary heavy and
butcher hogs are little worse than a dime
iOwer for the week. Lights, on .he other
hand, show net declines OF 20Q5bc.
