CATTLE-There were no fresh receipts
of cattle Of any consequence TINS morn
ing Receipts Tor the week, while SHOWING
a slight failing q. as compared with last
week, show IA mCueIate gam over a year
ago Ihe arrivals have consisted largely
or warmed up and half tat cattle. the
proportion of trash on some Gays being
very large. on the other hand, there have
been a few good cattle arriving all the
time.
Beef steers have been good sellers all
week. the better grades showing little
strength and being at the close Oh the
week quotable anywhere from strong 10 as
much as 1OC higher than last week On the
other hand, heavy and rough cattle, IL any
thing, are a trifle easier than last Wees
the demand for that kind being limited
While no strictly choice cattle have been
received this week there have been sew
eral punches good enough to bring So'SoV
$40
The better grades of cows and heifers
have been strong sellers and they are IN
some cases as much as 1Oc higher than
last week. On the other hand, the general
run of fair to medium butcher stock is
only about steady, still there has been a
good healthy tone to the trade throughout
the week. One lot of heifers was received
good enough to bring $3.50, which was the
top price for the week.
The demand for feeders has been very
active every day this week, with prices
slowly but surely working upward. Inc
demand has been such that everything Of
| fered has been snapped up in short order,
| and at the close of the week prices are
! safely 1Odl5c higher on the better grades.

! HOGS-A moderate supply Of hogs moved
| on a market steady to a shade lower
/ than yesterdays average trade, packers
| taking the big end of receipts. In other
words, this mornings trade averaged
lower than yesterdays opening and strong
| shippers resulted in a quiet tone to com.
petition and rather slow movement. Clear
ance was made before midday, however
bulk of smooth butcher and bacon offer
ings selling more readily than the heavy
offerings of rough mixed.

lately and brought $765 and less, quality
determining the price. Good light mixed
