UNION STOCKYARDS. Chicago (Tues-
day., Oct. 30.-All branches Of the live
stock trade showed increased supplies today
compared with last Tuesday, but totals for
the week in the cattle and hog pens were
little changed from what traders had on
hand last week.
Receipts were $4,000 cattle, Sc, 900 hogs,
10000 sheep and $500 calves.
Cattle trade was slow and values were
not fully steady in all cases, but good
steers sold fairly well after a somewhat
late start. Plain steers were not IN active
demand, even at the best time, and sellers
again had many of these unsold at the close.
Few steers were good enough to reach
above $1150. Bulk of steers sold at $4,000
$50, as quality was plain
The hog market was slow from the start,
but all grades of butchers sold steady later
in the session, when choice lots made

the best time the day before.
Fat lambs were quoted steady to strong
after a somewhat late start. Choice west
ems were placed at $3.50 and down, with
bulk of good lots at $13.00@13.25. Small
killers paid $13.45 for choice natives, while
feeding lambs sold at $500 and down on a
steady market.
