MARKET REPORT

Cattle prices worked upward last
week after Tuesday, and sales were
strongeL yesterday, which appreciat-
ION putfprices back up equal to the
hlghestjtime this year Receipts to-
day aresll0o0 head, and the market is
steady to 10 lover, bids showing more
decline in some cases, which makes a
slow market. Good fills today about
offset the decline in price. The heavy
supply today is do. to the recent ad-
yances. and to the fact that tax ass.
essnents are made April Ist. in Ne
braska. The Increases in the supply
IS temporary Consuming centers are
taking large amount of meat, fact
orles all over the East that were dead
year ago are now running to max
imum capacity. Some big native
steers sold at So 35 and Sc. 25 TODAY.
and strictly prime steers would reach
S9.65 or possibly more Some baby
beeves brought $40 today. Bulk of
the beef steers sell at SS. 40 to S9.l5
and warmed up steers bring IS or
more. With cheaper corn it would,
feed, but while plenty of cattle are
in sight in the West, they are intend
ed for summer finishing as a rule.
Fed Westerns range this week from
ss. 10 to SO 25, fat cowes SIS so to SIS. 90.
heifers $3.50 to $3.50, bulls Sc. 90 to
$3.50, veal calves lower this week. at
S. to $40, stockers and feeders holding
up firm, stock steers 500 to IS. .65,
feeders s7.65 to sS 40.
Hog receipts were estimated at
5000 this morning, but the actual
count was 1000 short of that number.
Order buyers were active. and paid
tive higher prices, raising the bulk of
sales to SO so to 1915, tops remaining
same as yesterday, at 80. 80. Receipts
at all points are decreasing slightly,
and while present range sof prices is
high, dealers look for further gains.
Orders from Eastern killers are taking
a large percentage of the receipts,

strong call, and bring prices closer
to the top than heretofore.
Sheep and lambs sold 10 lower to-
day, receipts 5000 head. Prices reach
ed the seasons high point yesterday.
and their appears no reason to expect
much decline but on the contrary
there are reasons for continued
strength. Western supplies are. be-
coming small, the Texas run will be
light, Southern lamb crop is 25 per
cent short, and the crop of natives is
way short, SO their is little relief
