LIVE STOCK MARKET

National Stock Yards, Ills, Feb. IA
Todays receipts: Cattle, 5000; Hogs
1900; Sheep, 200.
Cattle:-In the close of the cattle
market this week the most satisfactory
selling basis in several weeks was re-
corded The facts are, the general
trade is about as high now as it has
been any time in the past month, kill
ing steers 100 lbs, upward closing so
to 75c higher, and lighter weights,
stockers and feeders 25c higher, while
butcher cattle of all varieties are 25c
to soc higher.
HogsI-Market Is to zoe higher than
Yesterdays close, with a top of $16.40.
Shippers and butchers bought the ligh-
ter weight hogs freely, but did not
want the heavy hogs. Some of the
packers were not in the market.
Good to choice hogs 40 lbs up $16.20 to
$3.50; good to choice mixed hogs
from $50 lbs up $3.50 to $500; pigs
125 to 40 lbs $14,75 to $15.25; 40 to
12O lbs $14 to STATS; lighter pigs II
to $14, and rough sows at SIS.
SheepI-This trade has been really
in normal condition most of the week,
owing to the very meagre supply each
day, and for that reason alone the
trade has been inactive, hardly enough
being valuable to excite competition.
The general market however, has been
about steady for the week.
The outlook for the future markets
is very encouraging more so than it
has been in many days. By April LIST
we expect to see the market start on
is upward trend and gradually reach
the hie1 est level on cattle, hogs and
sheep ever recorded
