WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
(By J, A. RIokart, Correspondent,


 market regained the loss of the first two days by the end of the week, An incipient scare about the possible effect oi dry weather on pastures was noticed last week in market circles, but the general rains that have fallen in the last two days have effectually squelched it. A few cattle are here today that were started to market from some dry spot, but the 8ooo cattle received here are chiefly made up of a normal movement.
 A feature this month has been the light supply from below the quarantine line, and this is respon- sible for the decrease of around 10000 cattle here so far this month as compared with the same period last May. Another thing about which the wise ones have been figuring for some time is that total cattle receipts at the five leading markets of the country so far this year show a shortage of 6 percent from the average receipts at the same points for the average for the past five years, while the population of the country has in- creased I2 percent in the same period. Another thing, exports of cattle are increasing; I2,ooo head went out of the country in April; 1900 head same month last year. Exporters can operate when beef gets under S6. According to all logic, cattle prices should be on the up grade, and so they are to- day, steady to strong Top steers bring around S6.I5, bulk S5.4o to $500, cows S3.75 to s5.I5, heifers S4.75 to S6; bulls dull S4 to S5; calves S to S7; Colorado sugar beet steers today S5.4o to s5.85; quarantine fed steers S5. 50; caked steers SAYS to s5.25; grassers S4. 50 to $; stock and feeding cat. tie firm today at S5 to S5.75.
 Hogs did very we'll the first half of last week, but met some rever- ses the last half. The run today is II, ,ooo; market started out at its but finished little better than the start , to 10 lower than Saturday, top S5.o5, bulk S5.8o to S5. 90. Packers are anxious to take the hogs at present prices, and seem able to dispose of their purchases readily. The recent Cudahy prediction that the 4-cent hog would appear within two months is not taken seriously On the contrary it is believed that re- ceipts will have to be extraordin- ary this summer and fall to force | prices lower than $5.5 so.
 Lard exports are three times as heavy as year ago, and the foot and mouth disease has caused the government slaughter of lot of nogs in Germany this spring, l pointing to 8 good outlet there for the product later on,
 Sheep have advanced 50 cents n the last week, goats likewise, and lambs have jumped up ST in hat time. A good share of this .ise came today and the market is Wooded lambs brought s7 today, spring lambs s6.75, clip ped lambs worth S6. so, clipped vethers S; ewes s4. 50, fat goats oday S4; brushers Ss.6o.
