ported In the yards today, four of them
stock cattle. This means that as usual
| there were not enough cattle of any one
KIND on sale to make market The feel
ing so however we was STEADY with YESTERDAY
though not so large as on most recent
weeks and not quite so large as for the
has been a very fair showing of killers,
a large proportion of the arrivals having
consisted Of cornted steers.
The market on beef steers was a little
lower on Monday, but since that time the
tendency has been gradually upward and
hesn Ihe close lose OF last week: Il has In fact
COWS and heifers have sold at good, firm
prices every day this week and at the
close the desirable kinds at least are lOc,
| and In some cases even more than that
higher than at the close of last week. Veal
calves on the other hand are about Csc
| against 7.25 week ago. Grass bulls are
also weak and a little lower, but good
cornfed bulls have remained fully steady
Receipts of stock cattle and feeders have
been extremely light every day this week,
| but the demand mas been correspondInsiy
light so that there were a great plenty OF
cattle to supply the requirements of the

duh with few cattle on sale and few
wanted

HOGS-Hogs sold a big five lower than
| yesterday, some would say 5G10c lower
| II comparison were made with the best
time yesterday morning today's prices
would certainly show 1Oc loss, while IL com
pared with the close yesterday the market
could not be called over weak to &c lower
The trade was reasonably active when once
uncer way, and practically everything had
changed hands by 10 o'clock in the morn
Ing, The close, however was little slow
and weak, especially on the heavy hogs
that were left until the last.
Hogs sold very largely today at Sc. 05a
$50, with top at S6.S5. while yesterday
the bulk of the hogs brought SIS .l50b6 20
with a top at $40.
Receipts of hogs this week have been
very much lighter than usual OF late, there
being a falling off OF 1000 head as com
head as compared with two weeks ago.
Receipts OF hogs are now running very
little better than a year ago Under the
influence of light receipts and a good buy
ing demand prices this week have advanced
very rapidly, reaching the high point on
Thursday, when the average price of ali
the hogs on this market was Sc 225s the
in April. Yesterday and today prices have
eased off, but still after allowing for the
reaction the market is at the close OF the
week 20d25c higher than II was on Satur-
day of last week, when the bulk of ali OF
the hogs sold at $5S5q5.y5.
