RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

As compared with the marketing for
some time there was a small Monday run
of 5000 hogs, but apparently there were
as many as the trade required and this
was reflected in the statement Of the
principal buyer that they did not want
normal number at the present level in
prices. There was sub-normal demand
from outside sources and the best terms
sellers could secure did not represent a
material advance in prices. The heavier
grades that sold all the way from $15,15
to Sl5.S5 last Saturday brought $15.75
and the others, averaging less than 250
pounds, that sold mostly at SIG, were
only steady. The tip top price, S16.10,
WAS steady were also the sales of pigs
from SI5.50 down and the sows were
strong from S14 down. There was a
good clearance and nearly 5000 hogs
went to local interests.
CATTLE.
The fact that there was general com
plant of the cattle market as viewed by
statesmen indicated prices were more or
less lower and it also appeared that it
was difficult to sell certain kinds, re-
poor outlet for steers that were too fat
or too common for feeders and they
were considered 25d50c lower 1t also
appeared there was that much loss in
prices OF nelIeTS valued 0tRlef IMAM
81 and practically the entire line of
cows suffered a decline from last weeks
closing prices. There was a decline IL
prices of bulls for the hrSt time in
several weeks, and they were 25950C
lower. There was a limited demand for
feeding cattle and the market was
weaker, in sympathy with the general
situation. Calves We're 81 lower, with
the top price practically $50 and the
medium veals from $14 down suffered
more than the good kinds. All the cat
tie were not sold.
SHEEP
In the run of 200 sheep and lambs
there were no lambs sold higher than
S21, and they were considered SOC lower.
but the sheep that sold from $40 down
were as high as they have been at any
time in the last few weeks.
