Live Stock by Wire

UNION STOCKYARDS, Chicago, Oct 80.
Heavy runs of live stock were reported at
this and most of other western markets to-
day and trading was weak. After decline
in the market for medium and palmer steers,
ID many places quoted at Is cents, there
Vas no chance to bring in a stronger tone
today. Less than 5000 hogs were held over
from last week, but sellers had many stale
cattle on hand. More than 1000 cars of
live stock arrived at the local yards today.
Receipts were $4,000 cattle, $1,000 hogs,
sc. coo sheep and 5000 calves.
Cattle: Lack of choice cattle helped this
end of the trade and values were generally
steady. a small lot of heavy steers sold at
$3.50, while some 1,0J0-pound yearlings
went at SGD. Quality was one of the
poorest in a long time. More than 10000
westerns arrived during the day. Medium
and palmer steers were weak to 25c lower.
Best cows sold steady, but here also medium
grades were down. Gamers and bulls held,
but colves were down more than 25c, choice
yealers going at $9I5M10.50.
Hogs: Trading was slow from the start
and while some light butchers sold at $0.05,
sales were made at decline of a dime
from the levels noted at the close of last
week. The trade was off 10c to 15c late
in the day. Rough packing hogs sold down
to 81, with choice lots at $S.00MS.30.
Sheep: Lambs sold mostly 25c lower.
Several loads of natives went at S14, but
bulk sold at $13.50@13.75. Few prime west
ems were hand. The top was quoted at
going at $13.35M13.S5. Few aged muttons
sold at weak prices.
