ports receipts for the week have
been: cattle, 6s5; calves, IS; hogs
2,766; sheep, 5,133.
A natural apathy was apparent In
the cattle market this week, following
the big stock show, when exception
ally heavy shipments were made. Cat
tie prices suffered a severe slump, tor
quality going at Is cents lower and
other grades at even more of de
cline. Killers had supplied theil
needs temporarily and will have tt
work off the surplus, but as liQuida
ton will be light for the next few
months the situation is expected t.
improve this next week.
The hog market dropped of 10 cent
during the week, with extreme top a
$7.S5 for the weeks close for choic'
stuff, with heavy stock 10 to Is cent
down Liberal liquidation increases
the seasonable weakness.
4 The sheep house business held VI
we'll for the week. Some choice NUT
ton and lambs were marketed. Lamb
easily at 1928 and prime wethers hell
their own at $500, while ewes close
around $500, when choice stuff wa
offered.

follows: Steers, $7:25W7.S0; cows
$5.7506.50; bulls, $5.6O05.75; heifers
$3.50; stays, $500; hogs, $6.50@7.90
lambs, $3.50; wethers. $5@525; ewes
$4.25.

Wheat While holiday condition
prevail in the grain trade, there ha
been rather better demands for wheat
incident to the stronger underton
prevailing and the fact that source
of requirement are more active i
placing acquisitions. Shippers hav
been calling for stocks, with some ca
for European export, fair deman
from California, and some bushes
doing with the mills, although bu,
ing from Japan at the moment ha
, Stacked up to some extent.
The underlying strength to the 81
uation appears to be largely based VI
on the belief that Argentina will hav
lighter export surplus by many mi
lions of bushels than normal, the GRO
from the southern hemisphere exc
: cising a prevailing influence in fixin
values at this season of the year. O
, the other hand, the government GRO
report both from the standpoint {
, indicating larger yield than CONNIE
: cial estimates believed to be the cas-
for last season, and an excellent pos
ton for fall wheat, has had a weaker
ing effect in speculative channels
this country.
Business is restricted to some e,
! tent by the fact that holders are sti
{ occupying an optimistic position rel;
: tive to the future, though there hay
E been some representative sales at tn
e interior during the past two week
Q Locally prices are still at the top {
s S5c for club and 95c for bluestem.
q Flour-The flour trade is still hol
r ing comparatively quiet, with M
much new business being booked, a
though the mills are generally ope
ating in limited way, closing up o.
contracts, and grinding on patent
: While the last few weeks have NJ
!. been up to standard, the year wine
| up with practically an unchanged VIC
i ume of business from its predecsso
:. Prices are firm all along the lin
while patents have been advanced q
per barrel during the week.
: Feed-The usual end-of-the-year CO
S ditions prevail. Business is modera
e and the situation not material
l. changed, although feed wheat, folloN
r ing the advance in milling, is up a
other soc ton, $3.50 and $3.50 pr
. ton.
