Chicago, May Fresh receipts of
! hogs today were not too liberal
! large leftover supply, however, pre-
vented any advance.
! Traders We're surprised at the liberal
I receipts Thursday. The fairly large
run and $50 hogs held over made
offerings more than trade needed and
I packers took advantage of this fact in
their raid on prices. All week packers
! have had the bearish attitude and
each Cay have bought hogs cheaper
( than previous session. Packers had
close 20 100 hogs in direct from other
/ markets.
| Thursdays receipts at 1900 We're
more than any one looked for. Some
+! late marks had receipts as high as
f! 10000. Four days arrivals this week
total about $500 head, being l9.400
more than same days last week, $500
| less than year ago and $500 less
than corresponding period two years
I ago.
Eleven markets received $4,000 hogs
! Thursday, or 1890 more than last
/ Thursday. 1.500 more than a year ago
and 81 800 less than two years ago.
Total thus far this week $4,000, or
5000 less than same period last week,
$4,000 less than like time last year and
ll1.000 less than corresponding four
days two years ago. Total for 1914
70 date S,037,0oo. or 264.00o less than
| same period 1918 and $4,000 less
than corresponding time 1912.
Cattle.
There was no urgent demand for
cattle and offerings lacked quality.
! A mean trade on the few yearlings
offered and it was fortunate the supply
/ Of them was light, since Thursday de-
mands for baby beeves have been been
narrow for some week past Yearling
! movement IS growing and has been for
two weeks. While the trade looks for
continued increased in supplies of year
| lings later this season. a big crop Of
/ baby beeves has been in the making
the past season and it is bound 10 be a
! wide price spread for that kind. Many
| OF the yearlingS now coming are merely
plain and medium in grade and their
| killing quality is disappointing buyers.
| with result that the lid is down on that
| kind. while for the choice TO prime
! grade yearlings a strong demand pre-
| walls and has been shown all the week.
| Weakness in prices for the lower
grade steers in Thursday trade put that
kind down l5d20 cents from levels

/ For the strictly choice grade steers
the market is steady to 10 cents off
from last week. and a decline Of 1od
IL cents covers the break for rank and
