500 Sheep and so Horses.
This week opens out with moder-
ate run of cattle, there being 165 cars
reported in up to noon.
On account of the blizzardy condi-
lions over part of the western cOun-
try the offerings of fat cattle and sup
plies fell considerably short of eXpec-
tations. Prices paid were strong to
dime higher than the close of last
week. Light and handy weight beeves
showed the most advance and sold to
the best advantage, but the right good
heavy cattle also found very good
outlet, while plain heavy and unfin-
ished beeves in some cases were hard
ly more than steady with last Friday.
Prime beeves, $61.10 to 6.25; good
to choice beeves, $500 to 6.1O; fair to
good beeves, $3.50 to 5.S5; common to
fair beeves, $500 to $50.
Butcher stock also sold at about
10c higher figures. AS usual the good
heifery stock met with most favor and
sold the best, but there was also
very good outlet for Gamers and stock
COWS, while the general run of butch
err stock sold somewhat unevenly but
at generally better figures. Veal
calves were in good demand and quot

demand and somewhat firmer mark
ct for bulls, stays, etc.
Good to choice cows and heifers,
$500 to $500; fair to good grades,
$40 to 400; Gamers and cutters,
1925 to $4.25; veal calves, $500 to
$50; bulls, stays, etc. 1913 to $500.
Fresh receipts of stockers and feed
ers were also of very moderate pro-
portions, but either on account Of the
rough weather or because prices were
too high for the yard traders, there
was rather Indifferent demand for
the cattle and the trade was slow with
la decidedly lower tendency. Specu.
lators- were willing to take on the good
to choice grades at prices that were
no so very much different from the
close of last week. but bids and sales
on the ordinary run of light and medi-
UNI weight stuff were all of dime
lower than last week and in some
cases more. Medium and common stuff
was hard to move at any figure and
the general undertone to the market
was rather weak.
Good to choice feeders, $5.35 to
1855; fair to good feeders, $500 to
$50; common to fair feeders, $4.25 to
500; stock heifers, 1915 to Ats.
The receipts of hogs were the small
est of any day in over two months.
AS compared with Saturdays early
trade, values averaged firm and as
compared with the dull, weak close
on that day, it was nickel higher
market. Generally strong woild be
the most conservative way Of de
scribing bulk as compared with bulk
at last weeks close. Bulk ranged
from $685. to S6.40; top $3.50, the
same as Saturday.
A light supply of sheep and lambs
induced brisk competition among buy
ers this morning and anything suit
able for killing purposes moved read
lily at figures right around dime
higher than last Friday. The demand
for mutton sheep was equally as act
i've as the demand for lambs, but the
trade presented more or less err
ratio appearance because Of poor as
sortment.
