900 compared with the same period last
week and 200 compared with the CORE
; spending three days last year.
Receipts of hogs Wednesday We're
liberal at western markets. but sup
plies were comparatively moderate in
the east, the total at eleven markets
footing 1o3,200, or $1,000 more than last
Wednesday. 1900 more than year
ago and 26,600 more than two years
ago. Chicagos supply was more lib
eral than anticipated and showed more
increase compared with a week ago
and year ago than any other market.

gated 100000. or 41,0o0 more than the
same period last week. $1,000 less than
the like time last year and $4,000 more
than the corresponding three days Two
years ago Total for 1918 to Gate L.

Cattle.
Cattle trade was slow. Prices gen
orally 10 cents lower.
Good to choice 1900 to 1900 pound
and heavier steers are selling relative
~ too low in the markets. That kind
are fully $3.50 lower now than they
We're six weeks ago. Conditions are
no ne-,-k
a matured state are being discouraged
They sell a long-fed drove at s9.25@
$50 and in turning around to get some
thing to replace them in the feedyard
are confronted with a cost of s1.25@
$50 for good quality 900 to 1000
pound feeding steers.
Cost OF the latter is too high IS
compared with the proceeds derived
from the former. True. the cost TO
board the feeders until grass time is
much lower than year ago, but is
there genuine assurance that when the
fat big beeves OF next season are mar
ke1ed there will be the same old urgent
demand for them at high prices which
marked the trade Of last season?
There are only few of the big
beeves coming now and reasonably
good demand for them should prevail
at higher prices. since these cattle
cost a heap more TO grow than the
short feds, which are bringing relative
ly good prices now.

ceived 4G,131 cattle. as against o5.2O1
the first three days last week, 1886
