Chicago. Sept. 1l.-Hogs were in fair
demand TO-DAY but sellers were handi-
capped by the supply being somewhat
more plentiful than expected. Lights
were in favor.
Shippers have been in the trade late
" for packing grades and this has
caused tina. class to move up in the
price list and the range of late is mar
rover than at the start of the week.
fridays receipts were about as ex-
pected. There We're 1919 hogs carried
over from Thursday. which was the
lishtest layGver of the week thus far.
Armour had around 500 hogs in direct
from another market. The days offer
ings We're again quite moderate and
prices were able to continue their up
ward climb. Fridays rates being con-
siderably higher than Tuesday, which
was the low day of the week.
Eleven markets received 4I,l0n hogs
Friday. or 400 more than last Friday.
9.1o1 more than year ago and $500
less than two years ago. Total thus
far this week 29e 900. or 5000 less
than same period last week, $4,000
more than like time last year and 90
600 less than corresponding FIVE days
two years age Total for 1915 to date
1903 600. or $4,000 more than same
period 1914 and 10000 more than
corresponding time 1913.
Cattle.
Most Of the cattle went 10 killers
direct.
A combination Of adversely has hit
the market. Biggest receipts Of the
year have been here this week. Jewish
holidays contributed to the price chop
ping by reason OF cutting off the kosher
demand, and the reported bad beef
markets have OF course, had their
share Of influence in enabling buyers
to hammer the values. Similar con-
dttions have applied IN the west as
wen. where big supplies were also had.
There Is belief now, however. that
the trade has hit the low spot, but the
paramount need is a small run at the
start next week to give the market
some little chance for recuperation.
Next Jewish holiday falls week from
today and thus will not affect the
Monday kosher buying business.
A world Of grass-fed stuff has been
here this week. coming from Wiscon-
sin. Iliirc.s and Iowa, and 1t has been
hammered terrificaliy in value. Grass
ers OF fat condition had to go down
to 7.25 Friday and a 1925 pound load
sold at 7.s5 which looked like the $50
1s.75 kind last Monday. Stuff at $50
Friday averaged close &c lao pounds
and would have easily made SIS on
Monday. Anything which has had
corn crib cross after coming off grass
has Jared equally as bad. Only few
of the prime yearling kinds have es-
capped with minimum losses.
The Eve days run this week stood
5ll0o. largest since last November,
and there were $500 westerns in
cluded. Rangers have sold e56 80
cents lower. The crop stood against
4344e a week ago and 4o,oi2 year
ago. while at the six markets the run
totaled $4,000 against $4,000 year
ago and 10000 year ago.
Sheep.
Bulk Of sheep and lambs today were
consigned to big killers.

uine to divert a raft OF range stock.

Expectancy IS for moderately lib

light supplies here.
