Chicago, June 27.-Liberal offerings,
that included 10000 carried over unsold
last night, had depressing effect on
the hog market today.
The trade is counting on liberal re-
ceipts the balance of the week, and
while the spread in prices is widest OF
the season, traders are looking for COM
mon kinds to go still lower, while the
better kinds will rule nearer steady.
Eleven markets received 5000 more
hogs on Tuesday than week ago and
$1,000 more than corresponding Tues
day a year ago. Chicago alone had q
900 more than a year ago.
Cattle.
Cattle receipts we're more numerous
than had been looked for.
There was an increase compared
with a week ago in cattle receipts at
all Of the western markets beyond Chi
cago but Sioux City. st Louis with
II, 900 had $500 more than a week ago
and 400 more than two weeks ago,
which shows that the Texas cattle are
moving more freely. Six outside mar
kets had $4,000, or $500 more than a
week ago and nearly 1900 more than
year ago.
Values for choice long-fed steers are
slowly but surely climbing toward the
sl4 notch. Two shipments reached
$3.50 on the local market Monday,
SURPRISING last weeks record by 10
cents per hundredweight.

There was Al ample supply Of sleep.
Packers are looking with M-conceal-
ed anxiety toward the west for evt-
dences Of sizeable movement Of range
lambs and sheep marketward
Thus far this season only a few
loads Of new crop range lambs have
reached Chicago, these coming out Of
California and Arizona. To date Ida
no has not furnished lamb to the
Chicago or river market supply this
season, and az flockmasters Of that
state are usually relied upon by kill
ers for a fair sprinkling of supplies in
June and free narketward movement
during July, the question naturally
arises Whats happening in Idaho?"
The situation as nearly as it can be
ascertained at this writing at this end
of the line is that the Idaho lamb crop
is not only short (reports are conflict
ing as to how short), but it is thirty
days late. The mere fact that neither
Chicago or Omaha has received a load
from that source thus far this season
and that no reports have been received,
indicating that Idaho shippers will start
any lambs east before July l, whereas
in June last year Chicago alone receiv-
ed 142 double decks of Idahos. goes far
10 prove that the crop is late especially
in view Of the strong magnet the high
prices current naturally exert in draw
ing supplies to the shamples
