Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1914-09-05

l.kht lhls morning, the arrivals being linn
tied to n few lunches OF range steers
both killers and feeders. For the week
tho receipts have been large, showing
considerable gains over recent weeks, but
at the same time are smaller than a
year ago by about 5000 head
The market on all desirable kinds of
cattle was good and strong for n Fri
day, there being n better demand than
usual for so late In the week Buyers all
seemed TO want few cattle and were out
IN the yards In good season in the morn
ing and the Offerings changed hands at
an early hour.
Prices on beef steers, cows, heifers and
good feeders are all fully steady or strong
as compared with n week ago. Any de-
cline that took place earlier In the week
has been entirely recovered. Thus the
market Is closing In very good and
healthy condition, The only cattle that
arc lower are the common to medium
grades of feeders and thin stock cattle.

reported In. supplies for the week TO
smaller than last week and 900 short of
tho corresponding days last year.
Reports from all other points indicated
break In prices all along the line, and
In spite of a very light local run the trade
opened duh and SHARPLY lower. Shippers
were not very. active on the early rounds,
but later on they bought mixed and ship
ping grades rather freely at prices that
were Just about dime below yesterday.
The killer trade opened extremely draggy,
and first bids were at least l0ql5c lower
offers settling largely at sS65dfST0 for an
average string OF hogs, as against yester.
days S.70nSS5 market. Sellers were IN
no hurry TO cut loose, and as a result Il
was late In the forenoon before much OF
enythlng was sold to the packers In fact.
Il was after II o'clock before the bulk of
the offerings finally started to move
slowly at prices that were all Of 10dtlbc
lower. and In some Instances n flat loo
off The general market can he quoted
as extremely dull and about i0dl5c lower.
The big end OF the killer sales was made
at S.Gjdl87O, with sprinklins OF ship
ping hogs all the way M to $3.50 the
top. Quality fthe supplies was rather
poor In comparison with the receipts OF
the last few weeks
Conditions are much the same as they
have been all week and the dullness of
todaYs market, with receipts so light,
shows more than ever the slackness OF
the killing demand. Even the heavy
buying OF mixed hogs on shipping ana
speculative orders during the last three
days has failed to have much OF an et-

termined to beat values down ana while
they put up their droves at pretty much
their own figures
