Union Stock Yards. South Omaha,
Nebraska, November z, 1915. The
week opened with a rather moderate
u of cattle, some $40 loads, or about
$500 head. Mondays run OF cattle in,
cluded a fairly good proportion Of
more or less corn fed steers, however,
the big share of the supply consisted
OF short fed and warmed up stuff. The
general tone to the trade was dis
tinctly better than 1t was last week,
and buyers looked to the fed cat,
tie for their supplies. Owing to the
limited supply OF she stock, the de-
mand was very good from all classes
Of buyers. and good to choice grass
cows and heifers sold readily from
$40 up to $500.

The hog run Of Monday was not
quite so large as a week q Early
estimates put the supply at 1O3 cars
or 1900 head. Shippers bought what
hogs they needed pretty early at
prices that were strong to in most
cases a nickel higher. The packers
seemed to take their time about get
ting started, and most of their pen
Ing offers were just steady, and the
market opened steady to a nickel
higher. Some sellers called the mar
ket a fiat &c higher, while others were
unable to get more than steady.
The sheep and lamb run was fair
for a Monday for this time Of the
year, receipts counting out seventy
five cars, or about 10000 head. On
opening rounds the fat lamb trade
was a rather dull affair. Buyers filled
orders in a leisurely manner. and as
sellers asked steady prices all around,
not much was done during the early
part of the forenoon. One good string
of fat lambs sold at $11.00. being
about the only lambs sold up to IL
o'clock.
