The market for veal calves was
weaker in tone and prices averaged
a fraction lower. The market has
been overStOcled with young and
por calves. chiefly from New York
state. but It IS thought that these

terially reduced very soon. The best
heavy veals sell from 13I16c. with
good average calves 10Il3c. and
coarse and thin calves. drinkers and
grassers 71l0c. and small calves
s3.50GS5 each.
The western markets for hogs
we're much higher. but this was on
~ partially reflected in the local
market. The demand was active and
prices showed some moderate aver
age advance. Live hogs ranged from
10 l-2m2lc and dressed hogs from
o6026 1-2c. Receipts were only mod
elate.
Sheep and lambs were in the US
uai moderate supply at the yards
ana the market showed no change
from previous weeks. Sheep ranged
from 1880 and lambs from 9rI2c.
Mich COW trade is rather dull. the
demand for all but the best mixers
being quiet and the tendency Of
prices is downward to 4 moderate de-
gree. Good average mixers sell from
sloonS15O. with choice heavv milk
ers up TO about 5000. and poor light
mixers down to about s65. Stock
bulls range from about s35as15
