. UNION STOCK YARDS, Chicago, March
1G.-A1l branches of the live stock trade
show light runs compared with last week.
In the cattle pens this was re-enacted in
better values for PRACTICAL yall kinds of
animals, compared with the close of last
week, while hogs also went higher. While
sellers had nearly $1,000 hogs held over from
yesterday yet the trade was stronger today.
Big killers had close to 5000 forwarded
from other trading points. III the sheep
house the trade was uneven during the
week, and while values were strong today,
the market for lambs closed lower than a
week ago.
Receipts were 1000 cattle, $4,000 hogs,
5000 sheep and 1000 calves.
Cattle trade was generally steady. Some
Of the shippers bid weak prices for good
steers but sellers refused to cut values.
Other grades We're steady to strong from
the start and the supply was sold out in
fair season. Choice heavy steers made $40,
while some yearlings also reached that fig
ure. Cows and heifers again sold weak at
steady to strong values, while bulls were
picked up early. Some stale calves received
weak bids early, but the market closed
about steady. Hogs were up a dime at
the start but many sales were 15c higher
after the first rounds. Big packers were
slow to take hold. They came into the
pen with better bids later, however. Choice
light hogs sold at $S.S0@S.S5 for the high
est point of the week, while many light
butchers went at $S.70@s.7j. Few rough
packing hogs sold below $3.50, with good
lots at $7.T5M7.Sj.
Demand for lambs was fairly active and
values We're strong to 25c higher. This
advance did not wipe out the weeks losses
however Choice wool lambs sold at $14.T5
while some S7-pound shorn animals went at
S1l.5O. Aged mutons were strong. Choice
ewes made 1915, which was equal to the
high point of the week
