UNION STOCKYARDS, Chicago (Thurs-
day., Jan. 3.-Supplies We're delayed to-
day and much stock arrived too late to be
sold. The reported were larger than
expected and bids were lower in all
branches from the start. In the hog house
about $500 were held over fro mthe day
before. Car report for the local yards was
/ $50, but many of these were black" at
noon.
Receipts were II ,000 cattle, 81, 900 hogs,
% 900 sheep and 1000 calves.
Some choice heavy steers sold nearly
steady, and the best fat yearlings also
were little changed, but the general run
of steers showed decline or loo to zoe
from the values noted the day before
Some strictly prime yearlings went at
$12.25, while good heavy steers made Sl0.00
M10.60. Medium kinds were slow at the
full decline. Cows and heifers also sold
weak to 10c to 15c lower, while Gamers
Hog trade was off 1oc to zoe from the
average of the day before. This put prices
mostly 90 cents below the best time DE
that day, and sellers found it hard to move
the stuff even at the decline. Top hogs
sold at $40, against $3.50 yesterday, while
bulk of packing stocks sold at $625@6.7O.
Many hogs were unsold at the close.
Fat lambs were generally 15c to PC
lower, and the trade slow. The fact
that the run was so much delayed hurt
this end Of the live stock trade more than
the other branches. Choice lambs wee
placed at $13.50M13.75. Few aged muttons
were offered, but here also the trade was
weak to lower.
