Good Weather in West Brings
Large Shipments - Re-
ceipts Yesterday, 49,
700 Head.

The cattle run at the Union stock
yards Monday morning broke all

more than were received a year ago.
A high range of quality was shown
and prices varied as widely. Prices
generally were about Is cerits lower

tai receipts 400 above any previous
week, the chances for a new high
mark for this week are excellent.
Prevailing good weather in the

menting the shipments of cattle
from the range districts.

mark being passed. Trading was not
brisk, but prices were from IS cents
10 Is cents higher than a week ago.
Lambs and sheep were extremely
