leading markets yesterday in good
condition, and sales today are steady
to q shade higher, supply here 1000
head. A moderate estimate at Chi
cago for Wednesday, 10000 head,
helped today, and closing sales were
strongest. Cows and heifers are sell
ling very high. fancy heifers today at
$3.50, and good cows 500, heavy
heifers with only thin coating of
flesh at 81 and cows that are just
starting on the road TO real finish at
$3.50, prime bulls 800, heavy feeding
bulls s.. IS, stock bulls $3.50. Christ
mas specialties had their inning last
week, selling at 9-25 to SO, though
yearlings weighing 1850 pounds
brought 300 to 1925 yesterday and
today, and heavy steers SIS. IS to $500.
Quarantine offerings are smaller this
week, and are mainly medium fieshed
steers, at s6.15 to s6.75- There is con-
siderable spring to the market,
rendering adverse influences of transit
tory effectiveness, strength returning
at the slightest opportunity. This
has been noticeable since the first of
last week. and particularly this week,
and makes reasonable the good hopes
that have been placed in the market
for January. Stockers and feeders
sell better than heretofore, but there
is not much change in price, good to
choice feeding and stock steers $500
to $3.50, medium Sc. 90 to 500, choice
Leifers Sc. 90 to 1925.
Hogs are coming more freely this
week, 25000 here today, market steady
to lower, most strength at the close.
Fresh pork is selling at profit, and
as the bulk of the supply runs to
medium and light weights, there is a
broad outlet. Stocks of lard are said
to be plentiful, but what heavy hogs
come are taken at top prices. Average
weight here last week 176 pounds,
about 80 pounds lighter than a year
ago. Top today $40 paid by packers,
bulk $3.50 to S763.
Sheep and lambs are Is to 20 cents
lower this week, but the market re-
sists bear influences sturdily. Re-
ceipts 1900 today, best lambs S7.S5,
fair to good lambs S7.45 to S7.75,
light yearlings up to 1915, heavy

market is expected to go into the
new year with lambs around IS.
