UNION STOCK YARDS, Chicago, Feb. 10.
The big feature of the live stock trade dur
ing the present week was the quick effect
that supplies had all branches of the
market. In the hog pens it looked like
big weeks supply early in the period
and sellers were compelled to cut values.
Demand from shippers was brisk however,
and the country held supply down later.
This again boosted values and sellers were
fairly we'll satisfied with their week S
ers were fairly well satisfied with their
weeks work. In the cattle pens values
closed higher, while lambs were easy at
the close.
1000 sheep and 400 calves.
No choice steers were on hand today.
Sellers were able to hold values about
steady, but the market was of little ac-
count. The total supply of cattle for the
week showed an increase of about 1000
over last weeks run. Demand was fair
ly active after a slow deal on Tuesday and
closing prices were up twenty-five cents
a gain of 25@35 cents for the best lots,
with Gamers up to $3M3.35. Bologna
bulls also closed more than twenty-five
cents higher. Calves gained mostly 81
during the week.
Light hogs were strong at the outset to-
day. Choice stock sold high es $50,
but the market was lower after the first
rounds and many sales were off a dime
sold down to 81, with bulk of good butch
ers at SS@S60. On account of the easy
trade late in the session, sellers had many
unsold hogs at the close.
or the estimated 900 sheep and lambs
for the local yards today nearly all were
received by big killers from other trad
ing points. Some ewes sold at $3.50, and
this was called steady. Compared with
last week, lambs were little changed, but
aged muttons showed a gain of 1925 cents
for the period.
