CATTLE-The days cattle run was the
largest Tor "A Monday since two weeks
ago. and with that exception, the iarg-
est OF any recent week, being larger than
year ago by 1900 head. The arrivals
consisted largely OF stock cattle and
feeders. with quite "A liberal sprinklinS
OF butcher cows and heifers and very
moderate showing of beef steers. Ad-
vices from other selling points were not
especially favorable and that, together
with liberal receipts, created a slow and
lower market.
Beef steers were steady to 1Oc lower
than last week, while cows and heifers
were generally all OF l0nl6c lower.
Stockers and feeders were also lOdloc
lower, and in some cases possibly as
much as lJd25c lower when ii came TO

In earnest until announcement was made
that the Argentine cNportable surplus
was now estimated at 1870 10000 bushels
a total much greater than the trade had
over, the quality OF the Argentine crop
was said to be exceptionally good. Sales
here that ensued amounted to millions
of bushels, and led TO the most violent
weeks. The downward sweep OF prices
was all the more sensational on account
of an earlier advance to within half a
cent of the highest level since the begin
ming Of the European war.
Unusual buying force at the outset in

to reports Of anxiety in Great Britain

STEERS AND HELPERS,

HOGS-Receipts were moderate, some
thing like sixty-sjX cars. or 400 head
being reported In. This Is less than half
the size OF last Mondays supply, and is
slightly smaller than a year ago.
Prices in Chicago were sharply higher
this morning. and I'm spite Of the fact
that shippers and spectators were al
most entirely out OF The game, the local
market opened outs with the better
grades OF butchers and heavies selling at
prices that were iOd115c higher.
