 54.SOO head; last week 47,8o0; same
 week last year 6360O. Buyers have made great efforts to depress prices
 his week, but they have failed. Some low grade strCts in the native dV- ision sold lower, and a few heavy finished beef steers sold ten lower
 Thursday, but otherwise 1t was q strong market all week. Quarantine
 cattle are closing the week Ill me
 shape, clrong tuday, although re ceipLs in that division run largely
 to common lgiht steers. A new hlgn figure for the year was paid for Missouri steers here Wednesday,
 $8.20, and short fed steers are sell ing at 5000 to S725. Top for pas Lure cattle this week was $7.50, with
 fair number of steers of good weights at S680 to %.30. Killers value these cattle more highly each
 week, on account of their fine kill | ing percentages, and also because of
 the prospects of scarcity of that kind before many weeks. Feeding steers have been in good demand at $500 to S595 to good to choice steers, stock cattle at about steady, at S3.50 to $5.25. Some wintered quarantine cattle brought 5000, but outside of that one drove, quality
 has been of the medium sort and
 prices on steers have raI ged from
 S3.85 to $5.25. Grass cows bring
 $500 to $4.85, including canners, fed COWS up to $5.25, bulls $500 to SI.50, heifers Si.00 to S7.50. Light veals
 are a quarter higher this week, tops
 at $7.25, heavy calves lower, at S4.50
 to $5.75. Only moderate Monday
 run here today, i8,000 head, and the
 market is steady to strong.
 Hogs received here this week, ST. GOO; fast week, 29,400; same week last year, 22,500. Lower prices have
 ruled each day, the increased SUD- 1 ply giving the buyers a slight ad- vantage. The run today is $500 head, market strong, top $750, bulk S7.25 to $7.35. Provision speculators
 view the enlargement of the run this week with alarm, although it | Is conceded that Europe will be a very heavy buyer of fats for all de- liveries up to next March. Packers
 have been running on half rations for several weeks, and they wei
 come the larger receipts. At pres
 ent prices of cured meats, live ani-
 mals would stand decline of 50 cents per cwt. to put them in line. It has been a hard week in the sheep market values on lambs off
 40 to 50 cents, sheep f5 to 9 lower. Run this week has been liberal at 10000, last week 29,400, same week
 last year 27,500. The run today is i9,000 head, market f5 to 20 cents lower. Feeding lambs bring $500 to $550, feeding ewes and wethers and

Nowhere in the journey was any
