Live Stock Market

UNION STOCKYARDS, Chicago, Oct 10.
An irregular market in hogs, with the de-
mand showing strong drift to the packing
grades, indicated that the packing season
is well under way, choice bulls sold lower.
A quiet Friday trade took care of the light
cattle run at steady prices, while live NUT
tons enjoyed a comparatively brisk demand
at the best prices of the week, notwith-
standing the volume of offerings here.
Receipts were $500 cattle, $4,000 hogs,
II 900 sheep and 1000 calves.
Cattle: Offerings largely TO common
steers and an inferior grade of butcher
stock, practically fresh westerns being
offered A delay in railroad service held
back half the run until after the poening
hour of the market and gave the trade a
slow start. A load of 1,360-pound steers
reached $12.75. but there was little stuff
good enough to pass $40. Cows and heif-
ers were steady and sold largely within a
range of 2,75M 600. Bulls were unchanged
and calves also brought yesterdays prices,
packers paying $10.00@10.50 for vealers.
Hogs: Best lights and butchers off
10@15c, selected weights averaging from
22O to 26O pounds going at So. % 80,
while prime 2O0,pounders topped at $685..
Packing sows and pigs were firm at steady
$50, while pigs sold at $s.25@9.00.
Sheep: More than $4,000 live muttons
arrived mere tnlS week, an increase OIL w.
600 over last week. Inquiry has improved
gradually and sales at $i4.10 were made
today. Feeders showed more lively interest
in the market and bought stuff as high az
ter than ordinary quality and stopped at
$13.75. Aged stock was scarce and sold
steady, handy-weight ewes bringing $3.50
