LIVE STOCK MARKET, MAY 4
Today's Receipts

The strike situation in some respects
has materially improved, particularly
on some roads, namely: those operat-
ing in Illinois and also some of the
Western roads which have brought
live stock into the market with their
road crews. Receipts are ruling fair
volume, although the market is being
handicapped to some extent by the in
ability of the Eastern roads of NOV
ing shipments in that direction, but
conditions in general are becoming
more normal and indicaties are for
better improvement in this respect.
CATTLE.---This trade from gen.
eral standpoint is dull, light yearling
butcher cattle(and all grades of beef
steers averaging 25c to. Soc lower than
the close of the previous week,
though the market on cows, bulls and
stocker and feeders is STEADY.
HOGS.--This trade naturally has
been very sentitive to the prevalent
condition, at times working up to
fairly strong level then weakening to
considerable extent. Especially has
this been apparent today when the
market opened 15c lower than yester-
days best time or about steady with
yesterdays opening, while the CLOSE
was fully Doc per cwt. lower than yes
terday's opening. At the outset of the
trade today few choice light weight
hogs were taken by city butchers at
top of $15.75, but the later market
was entirely in the packers hands,
who at that time bought the very best
light hogs att$15.40, most sales being
made from s15 up, while stronger
weight hogs had decidedly less sup
port, especially the extreme heayies
over 270 pounds, which sold at $14 to
$14.25. s
SHEEP Supplies have been fair
lly generous, market slow, but the
TRADE has been fairly well maintained,
top lambs bringing SIS to the city
butchers today, packers paying $17.-
rs, with the best fat wool lambs at
$1S to $40; springers, $18.75 to s21;
fat wool sheep, 9t3 to SID; fat clipped
sheep, $1t.50 to $12.25.

sary.
