Chicago, Sept. s.-HoSS today ad-
vanced on account Of moderate re-
ceipts. Advances have cuied the mar
ket every day during the past seven
days because arrivals have been mod
crate and within reasonable demands.
Eleven markets received $4,000 few
er hogs Monday than week ago and
10000 more than corresponding Mon
da, a year age. OF the $4,000 at all
markets Chicago alone had 3s.0e6, or
1890 less than a week ago and 9.see
more than a year age. Practically all
the Missouri river markets received the
same totals as a week and a year ago
Monday.
Cattle.
Cattle were not especially il de-
Hand.
For the first Monday in several past
Chicago haG more cattle than Kansas
City, dry weather stuff letting up there
and increasing here. Quality fell on
many degrees from recent local Mon
days, and the choice stuff had favor
because it was no more plentiful than
needed. In fact. some OF the best ones
were firm, while bulk Of them sold fully
steady with the close last week. STEADY
rates applied in great measure from
$3.50 up, Below that price it was an
Irregular deal, some of the 1875 9S.5o
kinds locking unchanged from the
close last week and others weak to ~

Chicago had lot of dried-eut stuff
from Kansas and Missouri, and there

here the fair quota OF the southwest
ern stuff was fitted only for feeder
trade. However, packers took some
light steers from Kansas down to $3.50

Of this class which got bids no better
than 81 from the killers. Such were
kinds suited to feeder needs as well as
making common beef grades.
What happens in the livestock mar
ker in the immediate future will de-

Prices for sheep and lambs broke
on large receipts
It is plain that there il no longer
surplus Of wethers In tho country. The
American public want little heavy NUT
ton and viii eat little hereafter. Non
tana has been cutting down its sheep
focks at a rapid rate and the entire
west Is practically on eve and lamb
basis. The big sheep viii cut much
the same narrow swAth in market
circles hereafter as the MANN 9th steer.
The progress made by Montana liqui-
dation is indicated by the fact that the
Long flock OF wetheB. which numbered
900 head three years ago, has been
reduced to less than 5000. Montana
has ceased buying stock yearlings in
the west for maturing purposes and the
period Of deluged wether markets Is

popularize il more effectively than the
campaign of education packers and
growers have been conducting.
