CATTLE-Receipts of cattle today were
OF no consequence, there being only thir-
teen cars reported in, which was not
enough to make a market For the week
receipts foot up SS,1O3 head, being the
largest thus far this year, but still show
ing falling off of 400 head as COM
pared with the same week of last year.
The receipts for the month foot up III 900
head, which is a falling off OF $500 head
as compared with the same month last
year and the smallest of any September
for several years.
While the market on beef steers showed
little weakness on some days the loss
mas been recovered and at the close of
the week beef steers are very close to
STEADY with week ago. The best corn
fed steers here brought $780, which is
within loo of the extreme high price of
the year. The trade on most days was
reasonably active and the market in a
good, healthy condition.
Inc chief feature of the weeks trade
IN cows and heifers was the slack de-
mand Tor the better grades, due to the
fact that packers were securing a large
supply of cheap beef steers which took
the place OF the cows. AS a result of
this the better grades of cows and heif-
ers are around lOq15c lower for the week.
On the other hand. the common to me-
alum Kinds or cows known as Gamers
and cutters were in active demand every
DAY, and at the close Of the week are
fully steady with one week ago.
Stockers and feeders were in the best
year, the sales of that kind of cattle
being heavier than usual Still the coun-
try was not inclined to allow prices TO
advance very much, and in spite of the
active market prices are not over lOqI5c
hlsher than one week ago.

HOGS-Sellers in the hog yards used
supply figures as bullish argument but
their efforts were not very successful.
Prices ruled a nickel higher early but
packers agreed to stronger prices only

loads and the actual offerings were
largely on the packing order. Nothing
really choice in the way OF bacon ami
mails was received wei which to make
a representative top.
Shippers were fair buyers, from a per-
centage view point, purchasing about
| eight loads of the better quality animals
on outside orders. Good packing grades
sold largely at 500 and bulk of business
was at 81. 20a6.25. The best bacon weights
on sale landed at $3.50. Identical with
yesterdays high price.
During the week the main feature OF
the trade was a steadily declining scale
of prices. The slight reaction OF yester-
day, together with today's strength,
leaves the trade lust about $4,000 under
the market a week ago. Supplies proved
seasonably moderate and the shipping
demand on most days lacked both tone
and volume.
Receipts OF hogs for the month OF Sep
TENDER are in round numbers $4,000 head
showing a gain OF about 1900 head over
the starvation receipts OF September OF
last year, and small increases over the
corresponding months OF 1903 and 1905
but there Is a falling off OF 5000 head
as compared with 1907.
