good demand all the week and prices have
shown little or no change, the best here
having sold at tlo8. on the other hand.
the medium grades of cornfeds and grass
western are around Csc lower than last
week, or 26dil0c lower than ten days ago,
Cows and heifers have been working
lower and they are around a6c lower
than last weeks close.

fact, they might be quoted firm as COM
pared with last weeks close. on the
other hand tho medium TO common kinds
are i0Glbo lower than last week.

HoGs-Recelpts were rather light for n
Friday, and trade opened strong al
though the early rounds were rather dull.
Packers first bids were anyway nickel
higher. but nothing much moved at TINS
time, as sellers were asking prices that
were all of a dime, and In many cases
l5c higher than yesterday. BY the time
first sales were made offers had improved
slightly, so that the supply started NOV
ing at 5AlOc higher figures. In fact
very fair share of the receipts sold on
this basis, but after close TO half OF the
10 l.. has A. Rl,nV
petition brought values up TO "a flat lOc
high level. quite number OF hogs moved
at this advance. but towards tho close
one or two buyers who had failed to I'LL
their orders pushed prices UP another
notch, 30 that hogs sold on the last end
reached the high point of the day, being
fully l0al5c, and in some instances a
flat i5c higher than yesterday average,
OF right at 10C Bulk OF the sales was
made at s.. S0diSSb. and number OF hogs
sold at the best time reached $3.50 and
1886. In fact, there was a fair showing
as high as 500, and tops touched 800
Movement. while dull at times, was fairly
active I'm spots, and everything was
cleaned up by 10 o'clock. 80
Receipts amounted to l01 cars, or $500
head, bringing the weeks supply up TO
81 SIS head This is more than 1900 larger
than last week, and is a gain of $500 head
as compared with the same days last
year.
SHEEP-The windup OF the market yes
terday was worse than at the opening
there being some sales at the close
showing decline Of 25435c from Wed
neRdnyas trade.
There were very fair supplies for a
Friday, both here and at Chicago this
morning, the local receipts being some
5000 head, against 5,Ol0 head week ago
7, S66 two weeks ago and 1928 on the same
day a year ago This brings the total
for the week to date up to ll0,OlO head,
as compared with Ss, $40 for the same time
last week, 5s,Sas two weeks ago, and
sS.2O2 during the corresponding period a
year agao.
owing to the wetness OF the fleeces this
morning trade was somewhat delayed IN
lambs, but about the middle of the fore
noon the bulk OF the offerings began TO
move at level showing no material
change from yesterdays bad close. The
market was slow, however and II was
late before "A clearance was made As 10
mutton offerings there were not enough
on hand to try out values the market on
what few ewes and yearlings were here
being nominally steady.
The feeder trade was lightly supplied
and prices showed no quotable change
For the week all kinds OF feeders have
been In good demand and closing quota
lions are steady to strong as compared
with week ago on the best grades of
feeding lambs carrying a little flesh, and
steady TO n little easier an the common
kinds. Feeding sheep have been scarce
all the week and are quotable steady
with a week ago.
On account OF the liberal supply Of kill
ers here this week the packers have sue
ceeded In taking off lambs as much as
70Q0SOc and half q dollar off mutton.
