Chicago, July 14.-Hogs weakened to-
day in view of heavy receipts here. A
moderate supply at the river markets
was more than offset by the magnitude
Of the Chicago total.
The trading in hogs closed strong
Saturday with indications of a steady
market this week. Saturdays trade
was active but of short duration and
at the close there We're 1,500-largely
penholders-left for this weeks bust
ness Prime hogs were hard to find at
the week end Select offerings are in
big demand. Pigs advanced 10 cents
Saturday, gain Of % to 40 cents over
the previous week end
The range last week was wider and
prices 10 to 20 cents higher than the
close the week before, with the average
up IA cents.
Mixed packing sold at ss.70@s 90.
bulk above IS. Mediums and butchers
made ss.oO@s.12k. largely $40. Poor
to good heavy packing, ss.55@s.S2h,
with odd rough heavy at $685. $50.
Light went at sse0@9,17h. with ship
pers" up to $3.50. Selected offerings,
all weights, brought $s.S5@S.30, bulk
upward Of $s.05.
Cattle.
Cattle buyers had the advantage over
sellers today. the arrivals being more
than sufficient to meet all demands.
Last weeks higher market tended to
boost the dopesters' figures for today's
run, tho some figured lower on BELIEF
that country shippers would figure
decline due as natural consequence
to the 25@4O cents advance.
Here are the salient features of last
weeks trade:
A general gain Of 25@4O cents on
practically all cattle. plain and medium
grass steers showing the small end OF
the advance.
Light receipts, weeks run totaling
but 31.47O.
Revival Of packer demand. due to
decided drop in temperatures. resulting
in increased consumer call.
Top Of 1915 for week, which was 80
cents higher than previous week.
There's the weeks market in a nut
shell. It was the kind that causes ris-
ing hopes, but
Let feeders cut loose generous
crop this week, or a week later. and
reaction will be practically inevitable.
Butcher stock jumped $1,000 cents.
The reason: Light supply. Shipping
demand was fair. SPECTATORS busy.
but packers were the big boys at ali
times Yearling heifers met keen de-
mand,. prime kind selling at 1925 @S.50.
Plain killing class heifers 1915, with
good feedrs $3.50. Bulk good killing
heifers s7.0o@7.75.

CRASHED cows s6.o0@6.6o. Common
and plain light cows $5.0o@5.25.

Pretty good sort bolognas, Sc; common
light bulls. s5.40@5.eO, and Gamers,
So. A few prime corn-feds made 800
OTIS. but sales above $500 were rare.
Beef bulls off pasture. se.4o@s.s5.
Calves closed week big dollar higher,
bulk selling $lo.26@1.50, with odd few

Stockers and feeders were only 100
10 cents up for week, however. 1t was
smallest weeks business in many
years Reason: Small supply from
country and light demand locally.
Mixers and springers We're feature
less, prices steady. Eastern inquiry
light. Bulk of sales s60@70.
Sheep.
Higher quotations were being asked
for sheep and lambs, but trade was
slow.
Firmness undertoned sheep every
day last week, altho at times plain
weighty ewes were not in very good
request. Closing prices were 25@ so
cents higher than previous weeks fin
ish and bulk showed at least 35 cents
advance. Demand was good at al.
times and sellers found no trouble
clearing offerings. Outside orders were
few and far between, but packers were
urgent competitors, especially for the
handy weight lots.
Gail for feeders was as limited as the
supply of suitable stuff and quotations
were considered unchanged. General
quality strictly good. with native ewes
and wethers scarcest. Barring three
doubles Of yearlings from Washington,
the young arrivals were mostly farmer
fed, a few of which were western bred
and desirable in weight and quality.
Short sorting was done usually and at
the close most offerings went prac-
| tically straight. Breeding ewes went
steady, but business was of small vol
ume.
One band of inferior western weth-
ers sold at $500, but hardly more than
another load, all told, showed up. Such
offerings went mainly at $500 in small
punches. Good to choice farmer-fed
western yearlings went at. $6.75@7.26
and those at $4.50@s.50 were inferior
to fairly good. Native yearlings sold
at s4.5O@7o0; bulk, $3.50 6.5o. Bucks
went at $2.5o@3.75, with more at $3.50
than any other price. Breeding ewes
went at Ohio at 81. Washington year.
