cago, March 29.-Cattle supply fell
short of the expected number today
while light runs also were reported
in other branches of the live stock

the trade with a strong undertone
noted even for palmer grades OF

active late in the session. Sellers
had nearly 10000 hogs held over

600 were received by big packers
from other trading points. No good
spring lambs arrived during the day.
Receipts were 10000 cattle; $4,000
hogs; 10000 sheep, and 5000 calves.
Good steers sold mostly 1O@15c
higher from the start and demand
was fairly active on a small supply.
Some heavy animals made $l0.lO
while good yearlings sold at 1919.
Bulk of beef steers went at $S.5OW
$50. Best COWS and heifers also
were strong and mostly 1OQ15c up
while Gamers sold at $3@3.5O for
good lots showing fully steady val
ues. Good bologna bulls went at
$5@535 on strong market but
calves were again weak to 25c lower.
Bulk of vealers went to packers at
S8O8.50 but shippers paid up to
$1,000 for sorted lots.
Hogs started steady compared with
the low time of the day before but
the trade was more active later IN
the day and prices were better.
Choice light stock made $40 which
was equal to yesterdays high point
while bulk of butchers sold at $50
$50 Shipping orders were light.
Some plain packing hogs sold at
$7.25 and below but good lots made
$7.5O@7.60.
Choice wool lambs sold to packers
at SIS while quotations were placed
at $3.50 for prime lots. The trade
was generally steady to strong.
