UNION STOCK YARDS CHICAGO. Jan.
26.-Sellers have fought cut in values in all
branches of the live stock trade during the
present week. Plain and medium steers were
hit hard during the last few days, while
even the best lots were slow. This notwitlI-
standing the fact that the weeks supply
was comparatively light. Mild weather and
big runs of hogs broke values here, while
sheep and lambs also failed to hold without
decline.
Receipts today were 1880 cattle, 81, 900
hogs, 5000 sheep and 600 calves
Few choice steers were sale. Trading
was called generally steady in the steer al
eys, but there was some strength in demand
for good cows and heifers. Bulk of steers
sold at SIS. 2509.75, with few lots up to $40.
Some good cows were called 10GG15c higher
compared with the day before but it was an
about steady Gamers and bulls showed no
change i'll quotations, but here also 1T was
Il Friday" market.
After some days of weakness in demand
for hogs, sellers were able to make little
better values for choice light stock today
Most of the nearly $4,000 stale hogs consist
ed of heavy animals and this helped the
market for light stock while it cut demand
Off fresh heavy animals. Some choice i1ght
lots went over at So. 251S. 80, with bulk Of
stock held at S6.73M1.00. -
Lambs weighing so pouns sold at $1o.25
today Some sellers called them shearers
but they were really feeders and they will
be taken ont ana fed after the wool is off,
The general market for killing stock was
slow and steady with good lots goin. at
S14 50@ IA 80. Few aged muttons sold az
unchanged price levels
