that receipts have been very liberal for
this time OF the year. be-. .,-s g.
With the season Tor. range .beeVes draw
lng TO q close 1t seemed as IL buyers were
all anxious to pick up as many desirable
cattle OF that description as possible. As
q result the ma rkat was reasonably ac-
I'VE on that kind every day, and prices
Illy steady with last week. On the
other hand the increasing number Of hah
rat or warmed-up cornfed steers moved
very slowly, packers as usual preferring
ccrnfeds are safely 40a50c lower than
one week ago.
The market on cows and heifers was
~ ~ very sair shape throughout the week.
The good TO choice grades were in very
good demand and there was also an sc-
i've buying deTnand for canning and feed
week are fully steady with last week
on the other hand the fair or medium
kinds We're more or less neglected on
some days and at the close of the week
they are around l0ltl5c lower.
Feeders moved quite freely this week
ana the good grades have been firm
every day. On the other hand the common
and trashy Kinds came In pretty freely
toward the last of the week and they are
possibly a little lower t,.
Taking the week az whole the market
has been In very fair shape and entirely
satisfactory TO the selling interests on
practically all kinds OF cattle excepting
only cornfeds.

HOGS-Packers MADE short WORK Of
cleaning UP the hog supply, wintTy
weather being the most logical reasons
for brisk buying. The msrket advanced
a nickel under the influence OF healthy
competition \, and practically all OF a
moderate run was sent scalewsrd before
s:lb II was short, lively session that
prompted no complaint in selling circles.
Receipts amounted TO about seventy
loads. with plenty OF weight the rule and
bacon classes the exception. Lard va
TteueS drew usual premiums, selling
readily AZ high figures Desirable light
grades met with less severe discrimina-
ton, but Il was evidenced by a more re-
sponsive demand rather than any visible
narrowing In the spreads.
Long strings ranged from $50 to SGD,
popular price for attractive butcher and
far 20 good heavies being f&26. Choice
lard grades sold a. high as sg.2S. as com
pared with yesterdays top OF sS271k. The
few pigs that were available sold like
hot-cakes," weights under 126 pounds
bringing as much 80 t5.a6.

prices ara closing at advances OF IOkl1bc
along the line. Receipts have been moder-
ate, but improvement Is credited rather
TO an improving demand for product AZ
all OF the leading distYibutiVe centers.
