HOGS-Sellers had hog trade we'll under

required only a little selling effort TO
place bulk OF offerings at steady prices.
In the market for heavy stuff some
strong spots were shown, sales OF go ana
S25-lb. averages frequently claiming fig
ufes strong 10 possibly a nickel higher.
Bacon varieties sold In the usual uneven
fashion, ranging from S5s5 down to $500
665 for the inferior and high mixed
grades.
The demand from all local quarters had
fairly active tone during most OF the
session, and at 1880 o'clock practically ali
OF the run had changed hands. Entire
receipts amounted 70 something like 10 800
head. an estimate that included almost
everything, running from choice heavy to
little pig stuff
shippers and spectators bought spar

10 per cent OF the total. Good butcher
hogs were favored on outside orders, the
same as recently, and averages under 40
pounds were left severely alone by buyers

SH EEP-A tair sized run OF sheep ana
lambs arrived, but from packers View
point the estimate was deceptive, as fat
strings were conspicuously scarce. For
the first time I'm two or three weeks Of
ferlngs consisted largely of feeders,
mostly common ewes at that. The pres
ence of so much range stock in receipts
was explained by the fact that various
western sheepmen are here attending the
National Sheep show this week, cir
cumstance that encourages the billing Of
belated shipments from sections where
feed prospects for the winter are rather
doubtful.
Arrivals of cornfeds made up less than
20 per cent of the 3,600-head estimate and
sold readily, bringing prices just about
steady. The best lambs available reached
$3.50, identical with yesterdays top, and
some good ewes landed at $S.45. There
were no very good wethers or yearlings
of consequence on sale and values re-
manned nominal.
Country call for feeders seemed rather
perverse. Buyers wanted lambs but
avoided sheep on a trade in which feeder
lambs were the exception. Movement
proved slow and there was very little
business transacted until well along to-
ward midday. Steady prices prevailed.
however, and nothing happened in any
branch of the market to materially change
the general situation. Only 500 head of
stock have been purchased on county ac-
count during the four days this week, &C
cordng to ! ackers' tab.
Compared with q week ago. most classes
Oh tat BLOCK are ClOblnB the main
feature of the trade being a more severe
discrimination between good to choice and

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were very
liberal for Friday twenty-four cars be.
Ing reported in. which was just about
that many more than were wanted. The
receipts for the week have been very
heavy, footing up 1888 head, gain OF
about 1000 head over the same days last
eastern points have been glutted with
cattle and with meats so that the local
buying demand has been greatly reduced.
Packers have all been heavy buyers of
beef steers this week with the result
that this moraing they had orders for
very few additional cattle. AS a result
the market on beef steers was practically
dead, or the next thing to that 1t was
to get a buyer out into the yards to look
at the cattle. This means that the trade
was extremely slow and weak II viii be
remembered that the market on Friday
Of last week eased off from the. high
point on Thursday. Taking into account
the weakness of today, II Is safe to say
that the market Is closing 40G60c lower
than at the close OF last week.
Cows and heifers were equally slow
sellers with beef steers and they too are
safely 409S0c lower than last week 8 fin
ish.
There were no stockers or feeders of
any consequence In the yards, the supply
being limited to a few scattering punches
For the week the best feeders are not
very much lower, but the common and
medium kinds are sharply lower.

Local wheat traders were bearish at

by reports Of more general rains In Ar
gentina that are interfering with har-
Nesung. While the bear pressure Is much
lighter than for some time the market
will need constant bull news to hold
the advance in face OF the large stocks
on hand.
owing to the strength in wheat traders
friendly to the long side o. corn for a
long pull were fairly good buyers. Large
receipts might easily be offset by bad
weather or an urgent eastern demand.
Wheat advanced sharply shortly after
the opening on higher cables and bullish
Argentina news. Cash wheat was nc
