Chicago. Aug. 10.-Hogs advanced in
price today on account of arrivals be-
ing less numerous than expected.
Eleven markets received $4,000 hogs

day, 14,S00 more than a year ago and
s 800 less than two years ago. Western
markets beyond Chicago We're fairly
well supplied, while indianapolis was
the only eastern market having light
run. Buffalo being excessively sup
piled. Total for 1915 to date l6, $4,000,
or 100000 more than same period
1914 and 1,335,00 more than cores
ponding time 1913.
Cattle.
Cattle quotations were but little af-
fected by the hoof and mouth trouble
near Chicago.
There were cattle galore around the
western market circle Monday. Lo-
cally the crop was between $4,000 ard
$4,000, including 5000 western. and
killers had easy picking at every other
point on the map, east and west The
six western markets reported $1,000,
against "A 600 last week and $4,000 a

Eastern beef trade was in healthy
condition. New York received 1,240
quarters of Argentine beef last week,
but II will be reshipped merely COM
ing that way for convenience. Last
week Argentina shipped 1921 quar-
ters 10 England and $1,000 quarters to
the continent, none coming to the
United States. Thi. indicates that
the bulk of the output OF River Platte
slaughter houses is going to France to
feed the armies Of the allies and Will
continue to do so. Only one package
Of 10000 quarters OF beef is enroute
from Argentina to New York, and that
Will probably not stop here.
Gathering grass cattle in the west
IS now in full swing and will proba-
bly, be regulated by prices. Breaks
will check the movement, as growers
have plenty Of feed and are under no
necessity to unload. The run Of fed
Texans Is subsiding, but there will be
plenty of grass stuff from southwest

Sheep.
Buyers showed persistence in hold

than lest Monday.
t,ne band of rangers sold to packer
fairly early at a price which was
called steady and a city butcher Sc
cured a load of the consignment on
the same level. Two other small
lunches sold to city buyer which also
looked steady. There were several
cars of Washingtons on the market
which sellers We're willing to sell
steady but the bids were considered
160l5 cents lower. and up 10 late
hour no sales OF these arrivals were
consummared. The big run at Omaha

trade for westerns.
