The liberal run ON recent Mondays Is due
partly to the fact that Sunday loading
gains q day for shippers, an important
consideration at this busy season. The
market tendency is for choice to prime
middle grades are susceptible to every
wind that blows. Prime Kansas steers
sold at $40 last Tuesday, highest price
paid here this year. and only 10 cents UNI
der ChicAgo's top last week.
Hogs sold slightly stronger today, re-
ceipts 1000, top $S.621, paid for two loads.
bulk $Sl5 to $500, quite a number Of
medium weight and heavy hogs at $3.50.
Receipts last week show q big shortage
from same week last year. yet the mar
ket declined, as a result Of q break In
disposed to permit provisions to sell much
lower at this time, hence expectation or
something like present prices for hogs Tor
awhile is popular.
Sheep and lambs held up well last week.
and the market il steady. with weak
spots today, receipts Is 900. Fed western
lambs in fleece brought $3.50 to $50 to-
day, eyes $3.50. Texas wethers and ewes
are worth $50 to $6.75. goats $3.50 to 90
and some Arizona spring lambs sold TO-
day at $7.7b to $3.50. good many Iexas
ket, but receipts of Colorado fed stock
Will be light from this time forward:
