Cattle.

Cattle.
Receipts were to1erably liberal the
past week but the demand for beef
was also of liberal proportions and
the market in very satisfactory shape
with a strong, upward tendency. Not
great many choice, corn feds were
offered but the best of them sold
stronger, around $7@7.45 for good
1150 to 1850 pound beeves. Short fed
steers that came in competition with
the western rangers sold rather un-
evenly but somewhat better than the
week previous. Grass beeves showed
all of l0@l5c advance for the week,
good kinds bringing So and over and
fair to good grades going largely at
$5M5.75 with common to fair stock
at$+l1490. Cows and heifers found a
free outlet right along, the better
grades at stronger figures and the
medium and common kinds at about a
1Oc decline. Range is from $2,75 to
$525, the fair to good butcher and
beef stock largely at $3.75@4.50. Veal
calves, bulls, stays, etc, have been in
active demand and quotably steady
right along There was large bus
mess in stockers and feeders but the
market closed weak with some unsold
Prices advance 10@15c the fore part
of the week but later this advance was
lost and the close was rather dull.

Hogs.
No new features developed in the
market for hogs and prices showed
no material change for the week.
Both local packers and shippers, TAX
ing their clew from the bearish at
tltude of eastern packers and pro-
vision dealers, have been rather in
different bidders and buyers most of
the time and demand has apparent
ly been barely sufficient to keep the
moderate receipts moving at current
prices. Weight is cutting very little
figure and while the good butcher
weights still have the preference and
command some premium there is
narrow spread to prices. The gen
eral trade seems to be simply in a
waiting attitude and the course of
values in the near future will depend
much on the size of the volume of
the new crop marketing The follow
ing table shows the range of prices
and average cost of the hogs for the
past week:

Sheep.
Supplies continue we'll up to last
years record breaking proportions
and while this naturally forces values
to lower level the movement is free
and the big runs are handled with
out the slightest apparent difficulty.
Feeder buyers are taking fully three
fourths of the receipts but both fat
stock and feeders show a decline of
about 25c for the week.
