SHEEP--The market for sheep and lambs
opened on a basis that appeared to be
more or less yielding this morning In
uuiry from all of the regular buyers was
backward and the tendency to prices was
downward. Most OF the stuff showed
cheaper cost, but declines were rather un-
even and no average reduction can be
quoted that applies to the big bulk OF
business. Slow to right around 15c lower
is the safest method Of describing trade
as a whole.
A few sales we're made early that were
very nearly steady with those noted last
Friday, but prices that were merely shaded
proved the exception. Wethers, mostly
yearlngs, sold as high as $3.50, but old
wethers would have to be choice to COM
mand $500 or better Ewes made a credita-
Bile top of t4l5, which is highest quotable
There we're not very many good lambs
sold early as neither quality OF offerings
nor tone TO demand was productive OF
much trading. Feeding lambs went at
S5.46, indicating high prices OF S5.76d5g0 on
best quality killing stock. Weakn lss in
this branch OF the market was largely
due to a heavy supply at Chicago, outside
conditions also depressing the local trade
in sheep and yearllngs to some extent.

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were liberal
TINS morning showing a gain over the cor
responding day Of last week, but still fall
ing considerably short of the record made
year ago as we'll as on Monday two weeks
ago AdVices from other selling points were
rather favorable and local condition seemed
ripe for a little better prices than pre-
Vaned az the close OF last week. AS q re-
suit sellers without exception were pricing
their holdings a little higher, but buyers
did not seem to take kindly to the idea OF
any very material advance in prices and
the trade was accordingly slow.
The receipts included q good showing Of
beef steers, and while sellers worked hard

little packard about putting on anything,
with the result that the market was rather
there II was possible to find q salesman
who thought he secured a little better
prices than last week. now and then a sales
man quoting his sales az much as 10c
higher. Still most bids were no better than
steady and good many cattle had to sell
that way. The general trade, perhaps
might best be described as ranging any
where from steady to as much as 10c higher
IN some cases.
What has been said regarding beef steers
would apply in equal degree to cows and
heifers, which sold anywhere from steady
T. little higher than last weeks close.
There was q fair demand for feeders and
they generally commanded good strong
prices as compared with last week

AND FEHDURs

HOGS-Prices for hogs suffered at all
points this morning, bearish arguments
centering upon a 5000 supply at Chicago.
Bulk OF local receipts sold ct figures 15o
lower than cost OF Saturdays bulk, pack
ers taking the big end of total offerings.
About 100 loads were received, shipments
OF butcher weights being heavier than any
other class Of stock.
Demand proved TO be ample, but at no
time was movement very active. Clear
ance was made only after more or less
effort on the part OF sellers Purchases
by shippers were limited to actual orders
and speculative outlet was practically
closed. Spreads IN the scale OF prices were
moving at t6.S0Q665. Choice bacon animals
failed to reach 400 for the first time this
season. Heavy and rough packing grades
had 10 sell at small margins below bottom
OF bulk.
