UNION STOCKYARDS, Chicago, Mon
day., Oct. 22.-Comparatively large runs of
cattle and hogs were reported for the local
yards today, but the supply of live NUT
tons fell a little short Of what sellers re-
ceived a week ago. About 225 cattle were
forwarded to big killers from other trading
points, while $50 hogs and $50 sheep were
received direct. Demand for plain cattle
again was slow fro mthe start, while hogs
also showed weakness. Car report for the
local yards was placed at $3.50, and about
40 of these had not arrived at the opening
of the trade. In the hog house abuot $500
were held over from last week.
Receipts were 10000 cattle, $4,000 hogs,
$4,000 sheep and 1000 calves.
Best steers sold about steady, but few
were on hand. The general run Of stock
showed a decline of 1925 cents. Few
steers were good enough to reach $11.50, as
quality was plain. About IL 900 western
cattle arrived and the trade was lower. In
the butcher alleys the market was nearly
steady for the best cows, but othea were
mostly 10 cents lower, with more decline IN
spots. Gamers and bulls were weak. Bulk
OF bologna bulls sold at $4.0004.5 so for best
stock, while packers paid $1O0O@11.00 for
most veal calves on a % to 50-cent lower
market
Hog trade was mostly 10 cents lower
from the start Prime weighty butcher sold
at $7.40@7.50, with good 200 to 240-pound
stock at $715@7.30. Demand for light
hogs was not active. Good packing sows
went over at $6.40@6,50 showing hardly a
dime decline from the close of last week.
Native lambs were fully steady. Some
sales showed strength late in the day, but
both westerns and natives lacked quality
and quotations were not changed for the
better. City butchers paid $12.25 for choice
natives, while prime westerns were placed
at $125O@12S0. Plain feeding lambs were
weak, while aged muttons sold slowly.
