LIVE STOCh MARKET
Receipts and Comparisons.

Sheep ............ 800 700
Cattle: As the result of a 25c ad-
vance in beef steers this week, show
ing that much rise over the CORE
spending day last week, the fat steer
market today attains a new years
record when well finished cattle sell
at $3.50 per 100. Other sales were
made around SIT per 100 for cattle
weighing less than 1900 pounds and
especially did the class of cattle sell
ing from SIG to ST., weights and
flesh considered, look unusually high.
Stockers and feeders continue to find
fair share of activity at the prevail
ing prices, but the weightier varieties
where carrying little flesh, even of
off-colored quality, have had packer
competition at higher prices, how
ever, strictly legitimate stocker COM
petition has resulted in steady sales.
The market on butcher cattle, mixed
stuff, Gamers and the like has shown
no advance, offerings finding good
competition from all buyers. Indica-
tions point strongly to the usual
spring dropping off in receipts and it
is our opinion that espG5ally on good
cattle the market will continue to i'm
prove the next 80 or 40 days, while
short-fed and in-between cattle will
still command attractive prices, yet
we think it highly advisable for hold
ers of all unfinished cattle, who anti
cipate marketing in the near future,
to take advantage of present selling
rates than wait for competition of the
Southern grass cattle, which will ex-
| oI-f st,H
er priced cattle.
Hogs: More stability to the trade
the past week than for some time
past. 1t is true the market has shown
variations, but they were of minor
Importance and generally speaking the
trade today is steady with week
ago, with the sole exception being on
the stronger weight hogs, even the
extreme hcavies, which are probably
Toe to 15c higher, fact developed
through the scarcity of that variety,
rather than a better outlet. Light
weight hogs continue in best demand
and sell at top prices. Top of the
market today was $3.50, against
like price week ago today. The fu-
ture looks very promising, though as
long as receipts continue their present
volume, we hardly anticipate any per-
manent improvement. liza
Sheep: Unusually high prices have
had their effect in weakened condi-
ton of the trade this week in spite of
the fact that the supply has been
: small, in fact, very light. The mar
ket attained such lofty level that
the competition has been restricted IN
less concessions were granted and as
result lambs broke 75c to 81 per 100
and sheep 25c to SOC per 100 pounds.
While satisfactory prices still pre-
vail, yet the approach to the market
ing time for spring lambs is close
and we will then see general read
, justment in selling rates.
