CAIIBE-Only two cars of cattle were
reported in today and the feeling on the
market was just about steady with yester-
day. For the week receipts foot up 30, 700
head as against $1,000 head last week and
seen that while receipts of cattle have been
the largest since the beginning of the
range season they are nevertheless much
smaller than a year ago.
The market on beef steers, more especially
the good to choice kinds. has been in very
satisfactory condition throughout the week
and prices have been fully steady or pos.
sibly little stronger. Thus the best beef
steers sold up to $780, the high price since
August of last year. Range beeves- have
sold as high as $50 which is also the
highest price paid since a year ago. At
the close of the week the feeling is possibly
a little easier even on the best grades of
cattle, while common and inferior kinds of
cattle, OF which there has been large sup
ply this week, are quite little lower, In
some extreme cases possibly lOQl4c lower
than a week ago.
Cows and heifers have been good sellers
throughout the week and the market has
not shown very much change in either
direction. Some days the feeling was a
little weaker on account of the large sup
ply of common steers, but in the main the
market has been satisfactory, with prices
not far from steady.
sold at steady prices all the week, with
the country demand far. Inferior grades
eased off and at the close are around 100
loo lower than last week. The country is
sun acting little backward, but stin buy
ing more freely than last week.

HoGS-The market was about &c higher
| this morning than yesterday, good share
| of all the hogs selling at H.O0q7 ID, as
against s7-00g7.l 10 yesterday. The quality
| on an average was poor today and there
| was nothing in the way Of right choice
| loads to make top on the market Few
| head Of lightweights thrown out of a load
there were no full loads good enough to
bring over $3.50. The trade was not very
! active owing largely to the fact that re-
| ceipts were not large enough to prove very
very interesting to buyers, the run being
| the smallest for a Saturday so far this
year. While, as noted; the trade was not
| very active there was a sufficient demand
| 70 clean up the forty odd loads in sight
| before 10 o'clock in the morning.
| The receipts this week have been very
moderate, footing up only 2S,4O0 head, as
against $500 head last week and 81. 700 for
| the corresponding week of last year. Prices
during the week have fluctuated to some
extent the high point being touched on
Tuesday and the low point on Thursday.
| The reaction in the market yesterday and
today makes up for all the loss, so that the
market at the close of the week is very
! little different from what 1t was on Satur-
| day OF last week, when most Of the hogs
sold at s7.O73sg7 Ii. but with top as high
as S.5A
