CATTLE-There were no cattle here to-
day, at least nothing OF any consequence.
For the week receipts have been quite
liberal, but still not large enough TO be
week the market on the better grades OF
killing cattle showed some Improvement
but later on the advance was lost Thus
at the close OF the week the market on
beef cattle Is not materially different
from what It was at the close OF last
week.
Good cornfed COWS ana heifers have
been In very fair demand throughout the
week. with prices steady. On the other
hand. the commoner kinds, especially
those showing grass, have been easing
off little as usual at this season OF
the year with such cattle coming into di-
rect competition with Texas grassers
Receipts of stockers and feeders have
been light throughout the week, while
the demand has been slow as usual. De-
weight feeders have been in fair demand.
and prices fully steady, but plain kinds
have been very little sought after.

HoGs-A fair Saturday run showed ND
this morning. and as other markets were
reported slow and no better than steady,
local packers started out bidding prices
that were weak to q nickel lower. As
salesmen were holding for steady to
strong figures, nothing much moved on
the early trade, but a little later. on offers
strengthened little, so that when the
were in no instance more than a shade
lower, while any number of eales which
we're made after the market was under
way looked to be Just about steady. On
the whole, prices can be quoted a. steady
TO a shade lower, and the general mar
ket Ia just weak at Fridays average.
There was not much activity In evidence
at any time. but after trading basis
was reached tho movement was fairly
continuous. and a clearance was made in
good season.
Bulk of the supply sold at SsoaIk3sOS,
and tops landed at $S.0h. Just 2hc lower
than yesterday.
OF fully i5c, and any number OF today's
individual sales can be picked out which
are l5fleOc higher than last Saturday,
Quality OF the offerings has fallen off
good deal In the last few weeks, and II is
only the absence OF a good shipping de-
mand that keeps the range OF prices so
narrow Even az the present time pack
ers are discriminating sharply against
rough. heavy, packing sows. and the few
of them which have been coming In are
as a rule selling anywhere from a dime
TO as much as Soc below the bulk OF the
offerings. The representative sales show
this tC some extent but as II is almost
impossible TO move the undesirable hogs
until the rest OF the supply has been
cleaned up, q number OF these hogs sold
during the last week were not weighed
in time to be quoted,
Receipts today amounted 10 100 cars, or
about 6,700 head. For the week the run
| foots up t1,S92 head. being 1850 smaller
than a week ago and nearly . 500 short
OF the same week last year. The heavy
] falling off registered this week has
/ brought the years decrease up until IL
now amounts TO $3.50 head
