UNION STOCK1ARDS. Chicago, Dec. 81.
Supplies again We're cut to comparatively
small figures today and. under ordinary
market conditions prices should have made
gains. Demand was more or less slow, how.
ever, on account of the coming holidays.
Some eastern shippers came into the cattle
trade. after the first rounds, and this
strengthened the market for all grades. The
hog market weakened after strong start.
Receipts We're 5000 cattle, 40 600 hogs,
-. 1000 sheer AND 5000 calves.
Catte-Demand was better than sellers
had expected. Plain grades Of steers sold
fairly well at fully steady vanes. while
shippers paid as much as 15c to 20c higher
for choice lots. Quality was improved. and
heavy steers sold I'd $500, while bnlk Of
stock went at Ss.0GQ 1000. Cows and heif-
bulls were steady TO a dime higher. Calves
We're picked up at unchanged values. Bulk
of yealers went at $9.25M9.75.
Hogs-Values were strong in the hog pens
at the start, but demand weakened after
the first rounds and prices were nickel
off from the early levels. Choice light hogs
and best light and medium weight butchers
sold at $3.50, with bulk of good stuff at
SS.10@S.30. Few rough packing hogs sold
down to S7.2j.
had looked for. Prices for fat lambs showed
a gain of 25c in most cases, with some sales
up more. Prime lots were placed at $1,000
M15.25, with buIk at $1475615.00. Shorn
lambs, at $12.s5. and feeders. at $14.40.
were strong, with aged muttons fully
steady.
