any recent week. but larger than year
ago by 900 head. II must he porhe III
mind that there are no feeder or stovh
cattle OF any consequence MOVING AT .ne
present time II follows therefore thet
the receipts this week have cons. sted al
most entirely Of killers, so that the
actual offerings Of cattle suitable Tor inc
packers and butchers have heon large'
As was the case yesterday morning
packers were all looking for rev grass
steers and they we're fully steady II not
strong as compared with yesterday. On
the other hand cornfed steers especially
those on the warmed-up order, were very
hard 20 move. 4 good many OF that
kind OF cattle have been coming THIS
week and packers seem well Tiled up
and In many cases did not try Mt all to
buy the fresh offerings. The result was
prices were lower again than yesterday
or around SOC lower than last week. IL
will be remembered that the market last
week was wildly higher. 40 that even
allowing for the decline this week tho
market Is sull high, There were some
good venrllngs this morning that sold IN
to 5000.
Cows and hcifers became very slow
late yesterday and while the market this
morning opened out steady with yester-
days weak close II flattened out almost
Immediately becoming lodlbc lower and
around ibaeSc lower than last week.
There were no stock cattle or feeders
In the yards and very few wanted. The
feeder trade In practically at a Standstnl
on account OF the quarantine.

HoGs-supplies were even larger thar
on Wednesday. and carly killer bldi
showed tendency toward lower prices
being In some instances as much as a
dime lower. Sellers were asking stronE
TO higher figures. and although il waI
some time before buyers showed any
signs OF giving in, they finally raised
| their hands until first sales were made
on a nearly steady basis. Even at THU
| time only few loads changed hands anC
buyers were forced TO give fully steady
| prices before the bulk OF the offering,
was cashed. Trade was not very active
until the close, when a little furry

last sales on a strong TO Sc higher level

the offerings. and II anything the gen

as yesterday. The source OF supply
