OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.



CATTLE-The week closes with the
usual insignificant run of cattle and with
nothing of any consequence In the beer
line on sale. Tho market was nominally
steady, but generally iba2bc lower than
week ago, Receipts have been the
heaviest so far this season ond while
made up largely of western range cattle
have included very small proportion Of
really desirable beeves. only few
pcornfeds showed up In the arrivals and
the best of these moved at prices not
very much different from week ago,
while on the ordinary run of short-fed
and warmed-up steers that came in
competition with the western rangers the
trade was dun and unevenly lower from
start to finish.
Western rangers were lower from the
start, Demand from dressed beef men
was rather indifferent owing to bad beef
ana cattle markets In the east and there
was not a great deal OF competition from
| feeder buyers for the fleshy grades so
| that trading was on the dun and draggy
| order and at the close quotations are all
| OF lbM25c lower than n week ago.
The abundance OF cheap steer beef also
| had a depressing effect on the COW mar
ket, since packers preferred the cheap
| beef TO the good COWS As result the
general run of cows and heifers declined
| fully a quarter during the week and
were slow sale at that on the other
hand, there was a well sustained demand
throughout for Gamers and cutters and
with plenty Of competition from feeder
buyers for thin cows the market ruled
lulAg oltduy AOE dngknlIlk OF lnlH klllQ.
Good veal calves ruled firm all week,
while the heavier grades showed a de-
cline of 25q50c, outlet for bulls, stays
etc, was good all week and prices well
Business in stockers and feeders was
probably the largest Of the season. but Il
was not sufficiently large to clean up
the heavy offerings even at prices 1Sd2bc
lower than last week. Outlet was fair
most OF the time for well bred and well
ieshed steers and these showed the least
decline Low grade and off quality stock
cattle were a drag on the market from
start to finish and closed about AS low
as any time this season. Yard traders
viii be compelled to carry over good
many cattle till next week.

iiOGs-IIog uade was distinguished by
meager supply. last action and substan-
ual advances. In market parance, only
handful Of stuff was received the run
being one of the smallest OF the year
Packers started out buying In snappy
fashion and Willingly paid prices safely
dime higher for the big bulk or offer
ings, some little business at the close
showing lOul5c advances.
Only twenty-five loads were received
IN all and with buyers bulish the session
proved a short one, Yards were praC-
tically cleared at $50 o'clock Shippers
took very little interest In the market
and there was no support whatever OF
a purely speculative character.
Three prices bought most offerings,
almost halt Of the run selling at $40.
All but a few scattered dOads landed
within $b4Ou6.45. Best bacon animals on
sale reached $3.50. a dime above yester-
days top.
Small receipts during the week caused
more or less Improvement In values as
well as a high finish. Total supply
since "A week ago Is not only less than
that OF last week, but also shows a loss
from the light marketing a year ago.
Current prices average fully zoe above
last Saturdays figures.
