Chicago, May 16.-Owing to the fac
that nearly $1,000 hogs were left ovel
last night unsold, the market toda!
was inclined to be weak except fol
choice gaders.
Eleven markets received 1900 hogs
Tuesday, or 22,5O0 less than last Tues
day, 27,4OO less than year ago and
1880 less than two years ago. Total
thus far this week 100000. or $4,000 less
than same period last week, $4,000 less
than like time last year and 81 900 less
than corresponding two days two years
ago. Total for 1917 to date 11,3i0, 900
or 100000 less than same period 1916
and $4,000 more than corresponding
time 1918.
Cattle.
Demand for cattle was only fair.
Continued free running of light
steers evidences a desire on feeders
part to take profit, now that it is
available to them in generous amount
despite $3.50 corn, yet the corn plant =
ing rush ia checking an excess move
ment of beef. and with orders on war
account mounting high in Packing
town, every bullock now coming has
a place in the market.
Prices have skyrocketed recently in
manner not witnessed in months
past, and the bulk Of the advance has
come for steers Of class which at low
time a few weeks ago We're selling ar
S9.75@11.0O, big crop of this stuff
showed advances of 75c@s1.0O over two
weeks ago, and in extreme cases sellers
cited sales of yearlings up to s11.SO
that looked 90 to 90 cents higher at
least than last Wednesday.
1t is a case Of killers being unable
to get a requisite quota Of medium and
weighty carcasses, going at the light
stuff as substitutes. Beef tonnage Is
their need now to fill the big demands
on both army and civilian account, and
with light supplies prospective as long
as the corn planting rush is on, and
little relief from beef scarcity due to
come from the southwestern grass
steer crop, a bullish market for all
grades can well be expected to con-
tinue in force.
Sheep.
Holders Of sheep did not manifest
the least anxiety about getting rid Of
their stocks.
