day because of a big hold-over sup
ply. and demand was very slow.
The general average price Monday at
1913 was 9 cents lower than Saturday,
Is cents lower than last Friday stand
ing lowest since Tuesday Of last week.
Notwithstanding the fact that provi-
sions We're higher the hog market was
decidedly top heavy all day.
Eleven markets received 5000 more
hogs than Monday of last week ard
1000 more than year ago. Chicago's
total at $4,000 was 500 smaller than
a week ago and 1900 larger than a
year ago. Omaha had nearly 1000 more
than week ago; st. Louis $500 more
and ST. Joseph 400 more.
Tremendous losses from overheated
cars We're huffered yesterday by hog
shippers. One car of fat porkers con-
tanned ffty-fve dead out of sixty-on
shipped from loading station.
The necessity of loading cool and
keeping cool in transit is highly i'm
portant. 1t costs something and fire.
quently the extra care would not be
needed. but half a dozen dead noss a,
present prices would pay for an awful
lot OF extra care in shipping.
One of the best ways to keep hogs
cool is to load into the car from three
to five cakes of ice Of say $50 pounds
each placed along on the floor wrapped
in gunny sacks. This keeps the floor
cool, and while the couple of dollars
expense and the bother are consid-
cradle, they are as nothing compared
with $50 to $500 loss from death by
overheating.
Cattle.
Holders of cattle did not expect any
trouble in disposing Of offerings. The
run was largely butcher stock.
Moderate runs are looked for later
this week. Corn cultivating Is occupy
ing farmers time to great extent. and
with the cattle trade showing ability to
register strong price making stunts, the
disposition Is to hold rather than cash
in cattle which can make good weight
gains from now to Fly time" Car re-
port Monday indicated a moderate
Tuesday run and all that will oe re-
CURED Of the demand ts q moderately

endeavor to establish country conf
dence in the off-day market, 70 hold

advance.
Recent price advances, 1t Is plain tc
be seen now were not false alarms
They are here to stay. in the opinion OF
the majority of traders. and the failure
of big supplies Of weighty steers to con-
tinue coming forward is strong ind1ca-
ton that the faraway points ran out
l~e
ago. Ever since then 1t has been q
climbing market and the general trade
Monday for good, bad and Indifferent
steers was easily 4o@60c higher than
the seasons low point late in May
Values showed 25@40c gain over last
Monday.
Continuance of the moderate market

believes. effect still higher prices fol
fat beef steers as the season advances
altho consumer cost Is going up and
much further advance In retail ant
wholesale rates can only have the effec

Sheep.
In sheep the packers were indiffer

The first range stuff of the season

bles of Washington yearlings.
