A somewhat firmer cattle market
this week. Transactions were limited,
due to the light liquidation. Prime
heavy steers went to the killers at
$7.75@7.85; pulk, $7.3O@7.60. Butcher
stock was also stronger, but a true
line on market stability is difficult to
obtain so long as receipts are small.
Demand for good COWS and heifers IS
stronger. Top loads of cows sold at
$685. and heifers in small lots 81 to
$7.25. Calves have not been a market
factor for two weeks, although prices
are steady to strong. Generally, the
entire cattle market had an improved
tone, but only for choice stock. Size
of next weeks receipts will determine
stability of price range.
The hog market continued it's as
cent this week and reached the high

from SO to 1918. Upward trend may
be checked temporarily, but nobody
ventures a prediction as to where it
will finally settle.

Wheat-The local wheat market is
becoming reduced to a rather narrow
affair. The only business passing dur
ing the week has been on alifornia &C
count, some slight termination being
evidenced in demands from thai
source, due in part to desire to stocl
up before the depletion in supplies
which now seems impending for the
Pacific northwest, shall render such {
plan difficult. The local mills are mo-
animated by the same consideration
however, for they have provided fol
their wants very literally, and have
no reason for making additional pur
chases under existing conditions
Europe, which has taken a few lots
for shipment by outgoing steamers
of late, after a considerable period O
withdrawal from local markets, ha'
not been a factor in the situation dur
ing the week, although advices from
that source, which indicate a strong
undertone, have been n of the ele
ments supporting the situation. japan
is pretty we'll stocked up for immedi
ate requirements, and inquiries from
that u have not led to any new
business. The price situation has beer
holding very steady.
AS had been expected, there wa
an easing off in the movement to tide
water, following the receipt of ship
ments started from the interior before
the first of the current month, the az
gregate receipts locally for the weel
3 amounting to 1874 cars. This decline
is destined to be a permanent feature
likewise, because of the fact that frs
hand holdings have been reduced t
limited dimensions, probably we'll un
der 10 per cent of last seasons haI
vest.
~Flour-There have been no marked
changes in the flour situation. Som
