UNION STOCKYARDS, CHICAGO, Sept.
zI.LSuppiles were not heavy ut the local
yards today, but the trade was slow to
start. Western cattle are coming in large
numbers and palmer sorts of natives are
1eellng the competition, as range stock kill
out better than the natives, which can be
bought for the same prices. In the nog
house the trade also was slow from the out
set. Nearly $4,000 were held over from
yesterday.
Receipts were $4,000 cattle, 10000 hogs
10000 sheep and 1000 calves.
Cattle-Choice steers sold fairly we'll at
steady values. There was lack Of strictly
prime steers, and for that reason some sale
even looked strong late in the day. Best
steers sold at $12, but few were good
enough to reach above $11.50. Medium and
palmer grades of steers were easy. Best
going at $7.25@S.O0. Gamers, at $500 for
the best. were unchanged, while calves and
bulls also held well. Small lots of calves
sold at $12.00@12.5O.
Hogs-L1ght hogs again had the advantage
and butchers weighing around 200 pounds
sold at $10.55@10.65, with some choice lots
at 5000 Shippers and yards traders were
good buyers but big packers were slow.
