CATTLE-F1ve cars OF cattle were re-
ported in the yards today, four OF them
stock cattle. 1hls means that as usual
there were not enough cattle of any one
KIND on sale to make a market The feel
ing however, was steady with yesterday.
For the week receipts have been liberal,
though not so large as on most recent
corresponding week of last year. Still there
has been a very fair showing of killers,
large proportion OF the arrivals having
consisted OF cornfed steers.
The market on beef steers was a little
lower on Monday, but since that time the
tendency. has been gradually upward and
been good healthy trade throughout.
Cows and heifers nave sold at good, firm
prices every day this week and at the
close the desirable kinds at least are 10c,
and In some cases even more than that
higher than at the close of last week. Veal
calves on the other hand are about 25c
lower as 800 is the ouside prices now as
against N.25 week ago. Grass bulls are
also weak and 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 colrespondingly
light so that there were great plenty OF
cattle to supply the requirements OF the
market. The trade was described practi--
cally every day of the week as slow and
wanted.

HOGS-Hogs sold big five lower than
yesterday, some would say 5d10c lower.
II comparison were made with the best
time yesterday morning today's prices
would certainly show 10c loss, while II COM
pared with the close yesterday the market
could not be called over weak to sc lower
The trade was reasonably active when once
under 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. 059
go with top at $6.35. while yesterday
the bulk of the hogs brought Sc .156t6. 25
with top at $40.
Receipts OF hogs this week have been
very much lighter than usual OF late, there
being a falling off of 1900 head as COM
pared with last week and of almost 800
head as compared with two weeks ago.
Receipts of hogs are now running very
little better than 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 all
the hogs on this market was Sc. 22A the
highest point touched since the first week
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 20425c higher than IL was on Satur-
day of last week, when the bulk Of all Of
the hogs sold at S5.S5a5.95.
