CATTLE-Only two cars of cattle were
reported in today and the feeling on the
market was just about steady with yester-
day. For the week receipts foot up S0.NO
head as against $1,000 head last week and
1880 head a year ago. Thus II will be
seen that while receipts of cattle have been
the largest since the beginning of the
range season they are nevertheless much
smaller than a year ago.
The market on beef steers, more especially
the good to choice kinds, has been in very
satisfactory condition throughout the week
and prices have been fully steady or pos
slbly little stronger. Thus the best beef
August Of last year. Range beeves have
SOLD as high as 1870, which is also the
highest price paid since year ago AT
the close of the week the feeling is possibly
a little easier even on the best grades of
cattle, while common and inferior kinds of
cattle, of which there has been large sup
ply this week. are quite a little lower In
some extreme cases possibly 1Oql4c lower
than a week ago.
Cows and heifers have been good sellers
throughout the week and the market has
not shown very much change In either
direction. Some days the feeling was
little weaker on account OF the large sup
ply of common steers, but in the main the
market has been satisfactory, with prices
not far from steady.
Best feeders, both light and heavy, have
SOLD at steady prices all tine week, with
the country demand fair. Inferior grades
eased off and at the close are around lOp
loo lower than last week. The country is
ing more freely than last week.

| HOGS-The market was about DC higher
| this morning than yesterday, a good snare
| of all the hogs selling at H.UOgI To- as
| against 81 .00a7 10 yesterday. The quahty
! on an average was poor today and there
! was nothing in the way of right choice
! loads to make top on the market A lew
| head of lghtweights thrown out of load
sold as high as 81 40, but aside from that
| there were no full loads good enough to
| bring over $3.50. The trade was not very
| active owing largely TO the fact that re-
! ceipts were not large enough to prove very
very interesting to buyers, the run being
/ the smallest for a Saturday so far this
| year. While, noted, the trade was not
! very active there was sufficient demand
| 10 clean up the forty odd loads in sight
| before 10 o'clock in the morning.
| The receipts this week have been very
| moderate, footing up only 2S,4O0 head, as
against $500 head last week and a,l0O for
| the corresponding week of last year. Prices
! during the week have fluctuated to some
extent, the high point being touched on
! Tuesday and the low point on Thursday.
! The reaction in the market yesterday and
today makes up for all the loss, so that the
| market at the close of the week is very
| little different from what 1t was on Satur-
day of last week, when most of the hogs
sold at $7.O71tq7 10, but with top as high
| as 81 So.
