CATTLE-There was nothing doing in the
cattle yards this morning, there being as
any importance on sale. For the week re-
Ceipts loot up 13,62S head a falling off OF
about 1900 head as compared with last
week and of over 1000 head as compared
with the same week last year.
With lighter receipts in the face of
good demand the trade on fat cattle has
been very satisfactory all week from
sellers standpoint. Prices have gradually
strengthened up until at the close II is
safe to quote killers of all kinds, that is,
both steers and she stock, as 10000 higher
than one week ago. The demand was good
every day and trade fairly active. At the
close of the week the feeling is very good
from a sellers standpoint. 1t might be
added that beef steers sold as high as $3.50.
the highest price of the year to date.
While fat cattle have been advancing the
trade on feeders has been very slow ana
week and the tendency to prices lower. Al
the beginning of the week, however, the
market showed little life, and with
Tighter receipts prices were quoted stronger.
Still the country showed great caution III
buying and the gain made at the beginning
of the week was lost later on AT the close
prices are lOq20c lower than the hlgh point
of the week and as compared with the close
of last week there was possibly not that
much loss. 1t is very evident thaI me
country will not buy very freely until the
future of the corn crop is more certain.

HOGS-Hog trade had plenty Of action at
prices that averaged about nickel higher
Loads purchased late in the session found
even q keener demand than those placed
early, but the entire market was snappy
and yards were cleared before $3.50 a. m.
An urgent demand from all quarters in the
face OF limited supply enabled sellers to
obtain advances.
About eighty-two loads made up total Of
ferings, weights and quality having good
variety. Shippers and spectators fur
nished an outlet for almost 20 per cent,
selections consisting of extra good bacon,
butcher and lard grades.
Long strings ranged at $63Oq6.35 ana
spreads continued to merge, good heavies
selling on much the same basis as common
and skippy lights. Choice bacon animals
settled at a limit of $685. identical with
yesterdays high price but &c higher than
tops a week ago.
During the week receipts have been run
ming somewhat lighter than those Of last
week, the total showing a decrease of al
most 1900 head. Healthy demand on most
days has produced some little strength, but
any radical changes In prices have been
lacking. Shippers bought freely at all
times and II is partly due to their activity
than trade at last weeks close.
