WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Receipts Today Were $40 Cars in All
5000 Cattle, $500 Hogs, H.
900 Sheep and 100 Horses.

This week opens out with very
fair run of cattle, about 215 loads.
The trade opened out rather dull and
the trend of prices was lower dur
ing the session on beef cattle. Sup
plies were fairly liberal, but not ex-
cessive, but advices from eastern mar
kets were all more or less bearish
which had a depressing influence on
our market. Bids were generally pref
! ty close to dime lower than last Fri
| day and good share Of the offerings
sold on this basis.
Choice to prime beeves, $500 to
40; fair to good beeves, $500 to
$50; common to fair beeves, $500 to
| $50.
! There was a continuation of the
weakness that prevailed the latter
part OF last week on butcher stock
and it took more or less shaded prices
to move the bulk of the offerings.
This was especially treu of the good
grades. Demand was not brisk from
| local packers and outside butchers
seemed to be especially bearish so
that statesmen We're up against very
mean trade all morning and prices
| were anywhere from nearly steady to
fully a dime lower. the butchers and
Gamer grades showing less decline
than the good to choice COWS and heif-
ers. Veals were about steady at last
weeks decline and there was rath-
er easier tone to the market for bulls.
stays. etc.
Good to choice heifers. $500 to 900;
good to choice COWS, $3.50 to 5.25;
fair to good grades, 1915 to 4.50; can
ners and cutters, $3.50 to $50; veal
calves, $3.50 to $50; bulls, stays, ETC.,
$3.50 to $50.
There was plenty of demand for
what stockers and feeders were on
market for desirable f1eshy grades, and
anything of this kind found ready
sale. On the other hand there was a
lot of very ordinary stock cattle on
sale, for which the demand was of
the most Indifferent character and
statesmen were generally compelled to
shade prices considerably in order to
dispose OF them.
Choice to prime feeders, $5.I5 to
6.25: good to choice feeders, $40 to
| SIS; fair to good feeders, $3.50 to
5.25: common to fair feeders, $3.50 to
$50; stock heifers, $40 to ATS.
Bearish adviceS from Chicago had
a depressing influence on our hog
market this morning and local prices
showed tendency to weaken, al
though the local supply was anything
| but excessive. Some early business
was done, chiefly on shipping account
at figures that ruled generally steady
but the demand from packers proved
| decidedly bearish and bulk had tC
sell at steady to about a nickel lower,
the market closing 3 to 10c lower. The
best heavy hogs on sale brought $500,
while anything lacking in weight had
10 move below $500, good bacon hogs
selling from $500 downward.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were
rather burdensome this morning,
amounting to about so loads, and the
market proved very dull from the star
with the trend to values sharply low
err. There was slow draggy demand
for all kinds of killing stock and the
trading was not only late in opening,
but wore along to a tame finish in the
afternoon, prices ruling Is to 25 cents
lower.

fair to god lambs, $5.25 to 500: good
10 choice, yearlings, $500 to 5.35; fair
