UNION STOCKYARDS. Chicago. (Thurs-
day., July 12.-Light runs were reported in
cattle and sheep pens today, and sellers
started out after more money for the stock
on hand. The totals for the week. however,
show big increase compared with the week
before. Less than 100 cattle were re-
reived by packers from other trading points,
while 400 hogs and 1000 sheep were re-
ceved that way. Sellers had nearly "a 900
hogs held over from the day before and this
delayed he trade somewhat. Chicago stock
sold strong, however. About seven cars of
range lambs arrived at the local market to-
day.
Receipts were 5000 cattle, $4,000 hogs,
5000 sheep, and 300 calves.
Steers sold mostly 100 lac higher after
somewhat slow start Choice heavy lots
went over at 81 GOAL. 40, with some prime
animals held higher. Even the palmer lots
of steers were in good demand, and all
grades showed the advance. Cows and heif-
ers went at 10@15c higher values, while can
ners ut So 00M3. 10 for the best, were up
1OM15c. Bologna bulls were taken at $5.15
M5. So. on a 15M25c higher price. Calves
held well and prices were 25c higher or fully
up to the best time of the day before. Chi

Light hogs sold at strong values from the
start. Most the deals were up dime from
the general levels of the day before, with
choice lots at $7.70M7. rs. Big killers again
held back and with the heavy stale supply,
consisting of weighty hogs, the demand for
heavy grades was slow. Top hogs made
$3.50 with the best lots mostly 10@15c
higher late in the session but other grades
were only strong.
Western lambs were strong TO 15c higher
with best lots at SIS. 10. while others of
good quality went at $1J .00@15. 10. Choice
natives at S14.5 were strong while aged
muttons again sold at unchanged levels.
