OF stock cattle and feeders. strictly goou
killing cattle have been IN moderate sup
me demand for beef steers has been
good throughout the week and as offerings
nave been far from burdensome' as noted
above, the trade throughout the week mas
been In 4 good, healthy and fairly satls-
factory condition. Coco, light and HANDY
weight beeVes have been the best sellers
and they have commanded good firm prices
every day, being, II anything, httle
stronger at the close OF the week. On
the other hand, heavy and plain or rough
cattle have not been so much sought aIter,

Anything in the way OF good fat heifers
or cows has met With ready sale through
out the week at prices showing compar-
atively little change as compared with one
week ago. Canning stock has also sold 10

demand and are in many cases lVgl0c

dull. At the close the best fleshy feeders
OF good quality, dehorned, are not over
lOQil0c lower than last week. The less de-

Representative sales:
HOGS-Speculators and shippers picked
up about a dozen loads this niUrning, pay
ing prices that were strong to &C higher
than yesterday. Packers however, were
SOW about getting started and when thJ
market really opened 1t was on a basis
of prices that were barely steady with
yesterday. Most OF the hogs sold that
way, but toward the close some weakness
was developed and the market wound uI
about &c lower than yesterday Taking
the trade as a whole the market might
be described about steady with yester-
day, a considerable proportion selling a.
81. 45q7.55, with sprinkling OF the good
light hogs at $3.50.
Receipts of hogs this week have beer
fairly liberal, the total $500 being about
1900 larger than last week and about LOU
head larger than a year ago. The week
opened with a sharp break in prices which
was followed on Thursday by a partia
recovery. On Wednesday and Thursday
the market slumped off badly. hogs selling
on the latter day at the lowest poin
touched so far this month. Since ther
there has been a reaction, so that the weel
closes with prices only about lSg2Oc lower
