CArTLE-Receipts of cattle were inslg-

quence in the beef line on sale the market
was nominally steady with yesterday.
good to choice dry-lot beeves are selling
very nearly steady, while there has been
further decline of possibly 10q15c on the
medium and common grades that consti-
tuted a good share of the offerings This
decline is largely due to the very bearish
reports from eastern markets the latter
part Of the week, and the tone to the trade
at the close was rather weak than other
wise. Indications are that this spread in
values Will increase as the dry-lot cattle
become scarcer and the proportion of
grassy and habitat stuff becomes greater
NO great change has taken place in the
market Tor COWS and heifers this week.
ana Tor the most part there has been a
broad outlet for all grades of she stock at
prices fully as good as last week. and In
some cases better. Strictly good to choice
dry-lot cows and heifers are becoming
very scarce and find ready sale at strong
ngureS right along, while the competition
from feeder buyers for the thin and half
anything Of this kind. In general the tone
to the trade is healthy and firm, with
broad outlet for anything at all useful in
supply and are 25q5Oc lower for the week,
while bulls, stays, ETC., are selling much
the same as a week ago.
Business in Stockers and feeders has been
lively all week. with the demand greater
than the supply Prices at the close are
fully 50d60c higher than they were at the
low point last week, and good clearance
has been made. Volume of business has
not been very large owing to the limited
supply, but there is every prospect that this
volume will increase from now on and in
dications are favorable for a strong. active
market next week.

HOGS-The hog market held an even keel,
bulk of supply changing hands on a steady
basis. Light receipts put a better edge
upon the demand and served in a measure
to produce stability. The estimate called
condition were seasonably skippy. all
classes moved with fair degree of free
dom. Clearance at 1880 o'clock found the
yards practically vacant.
Purchases by shippers totaled about fif-
teen loads, orders calling for smooth, even
loads rather than any particular weight.
There was no speculative demand of conse-
quence and trade in general was unevent-
full
Spreads remained fairly wide and quality
was still prime factor in determining
price. Good heavy animals sold on much
the same basis as common butchers and
poor lights in various instances. Long
strings ranged from $3.50 to $6.271k, while
tops reached $40, a nickel higher than
yesterdays limit but dime under high
price a week ago.
Present scale of values as compared with
last Saturdays market, shows a loss of a
big dime. Supply has been featured by a
deficiency Of weight as well as quality, but
the run has been relatively large in point
OF numbers.
