1sese Not Much Attraction.
This week opens out with record
run OF cattle, there being 600 cars re-
ported in, 1890 head.
Notwithstanding the large receipts
of cattle this morning, the arrivals in
cluded only a few scattered loads OF
corn fed steers and these as rule
were not of such character as to at
tract the buyers. Demand for good,
dry lot beeves was very fair and there
is no doubt but with really desirable
natives would command pretty close to
steady figures. On the other hand the
short fed and warmed up grades We're
naturally slow and and rather weak
on account of the competition from
western rangers.
Good to choice beeveS, $7.25 TO $50;
fair TO good beeves. S6.40 to 100; COM
mon to fair beeves, $40 to $50.
The liberal offerings had a somewhat
depressing influence on the market for
COWS and heifers. although the demand
was very good Good fat COWS and
heifers suffered more or less on ac-
count of the liberal offerings of beef
steers, while the Gamer grades did not
suffer so much owing to vigorous COM
petition from feeder buyers for the
thin stock. The general trade was
rather sluggish with prices anywhere
from nearly steady to fully dime
lower than the close OF last week. Veal
calves were in fair demand and about
steady and the same was true as to
bulls. stays, etc.
Good to choice fed heifers, $500 to
SIS; good to choice COWS, $3.50 to
$40: fair to good grades, 1915 to
4.4O: Gamers and cutters, $3.50 to
$40: veal calves, $3.50 tc 500; bulls,
stays, etc, 1925 to 800.
Yard traders carried over from last
week between 1900 to 1000, so that
with liberal fresh supply today the
number OF cattle on sale was larger
than it has been any time this season.
There seemed to be plenty of cOmpe-
titiOn for anything that had flesh and
quality so that the market was fairly
active although prices were pretty
close to a dime lower than last week.
Prime feeding steers. $3.50 to 600;
good to choice feeders, $500 to $40;
fair to good feeders, $4.25 to 800;
common to fair feeders, $3.50 to 4.2O;
stock heifers. 1926 to 4.40.
Only forty-tive loads of hogs showed
up today and it was slow, mean
market from start to finish. In gen.
eral it was 10 to 15c break on the
bulk. The trade opened up 10c low
er and closed big 15c lower. Bulk
ranged from $6.40 to $3.50, and best
bacon hogs on sale made a top of $3.50
1t was another big day in the sheep
and lamb trade, fully $4,000 head
showing up. The big bulk consisted
of lambs, mostly feeders, and extra
good fat classes were scarce A slow
start on the first day of any week sell
dom has much bearing on the actual
condition of the market and today's
business had typical Monday tone.
Feeling seemed to be about steady and
what little business was transacted did
not cause any revision in the scale
of values. Country demand for feed
ers presented a broad, healthy appear
ance and trade started out in last
Fridays notches.
Good to choice lambs, $3.50 to 900;
fair to good lambs, $5.15 to $50; Gull
lambs, $4.65 to $40; feeder lambs,
$4.65 to 5.S5; good to choice yearlings,
$4.35 to Ats; yearling feeders, $4.1O to
$50; handy wethers, $365 to 400;
heavy wethers. $3.50 to 3.S5; good to
choice ewes. $40 to 3.75; fair to good
ewes, $500 to 375.
