day., Jan 10-Gompared with last week
all branches of the livestock trade showed
increased supplies this week. Today the
run was reavy in the hog house, but only
normal supplies were estimated for cattle
and sheep. Only about one load of cattle
was received by big killers from other mar
kets while less than 400 hogs and about
$500 sheep We're billed that way. little
more than 5000 hogs were held over from
the previous session and prices were lower
from the start.
Receipts were 1900 cattle, 10000 hos,
1000 sheep and 1000 calves.
Demand for steers was better than sell
ers had expected, and values were fully
steady for all grades with many sales of
good and choice animals showing a gain of
25 cents over yesterdays average. Some
choice yearlngs sold at $12. 90, but bulk
of beef steers went over at $S.00M10. co.
Feeding cattle also showed strength. Cows
had a generally steady market but demand
was not active. Good canning cows went
at $2.75@2 90 while best bologna bulls
made SIS .00Gl5. %. Best veal calves sold
down at about steady prices, but palmer
grades were off 25@50 cents.
Hogs were 10 cents lower. Choice BUTCH
ers stopped at 81 10, with light stock at
81 90 and down. Bulk of packing hogs sold
at Sc. 50@6.75, with good pigs at $6. so
Demand was fairly active at the decline late
in the day and sellers did not have much
hnSold stock.
Fat lambs were fully steady but the
trade lacked action. Prime lots We're quoted
at SO. 80 and down with some choice ami
mails al $13 80. Big killers took good lambs
at $13 .D0M13.3 5. Some choice feelings
made $t2.75 a strong market, but aged
muttons sold to killers at values that were
weak to % cents off. Choice light ewes
were placed at SIS 00@S.25.
