Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1916-09-05

Cattle---Receipts were extremely small to-
day for Monday, for the reason that the
threatened. strike last week made shippers
in the country afraid to load their stock
early enough to reach the market today.
The market was slow. partly because
there was not enough on sale to interest
buyers to any great extent. Desirable kinds
seemed TO find favor In buyers eyes and
sold at prices that were generally little
stronger than Saturday. In fact, II was
possible to find sellers quoting the market
all the way from steady 10 occasionally as
much as lo@1bc higher.

Hogs--Railroad embargoes on live stock
shipments were not lifted soon enough TO
allow any number Of hogs to be loaded for
today's market here, and the result was that
five loads or about $50 head, were reported
In This Is the smallest run for any one
day since Friday. March "A. 1919. when
blizzard kept practically all trains out ana
only two loads, or lao head, arrived. week
ago receipts were 3b4s head, while two
weeks sNo a.236 were reported in and 2,22o
arrived on the corresponding day last year.
Receipts were so small that there really
was not much Of market to II this morn
ing. Both shippers and packers were out,
but there were not enough hogs here to
make purchase for any one OF them, ana
the result was that most Of them declined
to do q thing. Chicago reported rs much
as loo higher prices early and one packer
bought two loads here that were called
10@i6c higher, while q shipper took cou-
Pile more the same way. But these rev
sales were really no criterion OF what the
market would have been had doesn't run
beon on hand. Several pieces Of loads, as
vii as couple OF whole cars. were still
In first hands up to rather late hour,
sellers saying they were unable to get bids
OF better than steady prices and announcing
their intention Of holding their stuff over
till tomorrow
Some mixed packers sold around siotb,
while pretty good mixed and butchers went
to shippers as high an s10.3b@l0.+0.
Sheep--Sheep and lamb receipts were
comparatively larger than the arrivals OF
any other sort Of stock. and while not up
to normal for a Monday were pretty decent
mated at fifty cars, or 1900 head, being
only about third as large as for either
last week or year ago, and less than half
as heavy as on Monday two weeks ago.
Buyers wanted the lambs badly enough.
but sellers were holding for every bit Of
strength there was In the market and trade
was little draggy on that account. Early
sales Of fat lambs were as much as 10 l6c
higher, top reaching $lo.25. while feeder
trade looked strong to little higher, with
host feeders at 1io.a6. Old sheep were
not in large enough supply to make a
market.
