| UNION ST0CKYARDS, Chicago (Thurs-
| day., Dec. 27-On account Of the short
week, the total runs show smaller figures
! than a week ago, but for the day the runs
were comparatively large. Big killers did
| not have anything forward from other trad
| ing points. On account of the weak and
! lower market for palmer grades of steers,
many of these were held over from yester-
day, and there was little demand for them
| today. Sellers had more than 10000 hogs
! held over from the previous session, ana
! here the trade also was weak from the out
| set. Car report for the local yards was
| 1,52e
Receipts were "A 900 cattle, 81 900 hogs,
! 30, 600 sheep and 1900 calves.
Demand for cattle continued slow and
prices were generally easy. Some Of the
| light fat yearlings and also the best heavy
| beef steers were steady, going at $4,000
HOO, but bulk of stuff went over at $500
| $3.50. Cows and heifers sold we'll. This
end of the trade was again 10c to loc high
err This on account of light supply. Can
| ners and bulls also showed strength. while
calves were up as niue has $1.OO Shippers
paid $500 and down for choice calves.
Hogs again were lower. The general mar
ket was called weak to a dime off from
the average of the previous session, which
| thus was far off from the best time noted
that day.
Top lots went over at $7.20, against
$40 yesterday. Bulk of good packing
stock sold at $6.40@6.60. Sellers had much
unsod stuff at the close.
1t was more or less uneven trade for
lambs, but sellers were willing to call
values about like the close Of the day be-
fore.
Strictly prime lambs were still placed at
$13 0O6l13.50, while feeders sold strong at
$12.00012.50. Aged muttOns were fully
steady.
