So far this week ther has been a most deckled pain In the receipts of cattle over last week. It was to be expected that the break In the market would cause a havy reduction In tlio receipts and It doubtless will later on. The market today could hardly have been worse and all the unfavorable things that were suld yesterday would apply -squally well again today. The situation In the east is very bad as- regards the. market on dressed meats , and the market on llvo cat tle is simply a reflection of the unsatis factory conditions governing the market for the product. This morning there were , not many corn- fed steers on sale and the quality was rather common , but there were fully as many as wsro wanted and the quality was as good as thu market. The. trade could be summed up In a very few words as being extremely slow nnd weak and unsatis factory , with values 30035c lower than on Monday. It was lats before anything was done and the cattle changed hands very slowly. The market on butchers was also Blow and weak and the' offerings changed hands slowly , so that It was late before anything llko a clearance was effected , although the receipts were light. Veal calves sold well , choice veals going at JC.75. There was not very much In the way of stockers or fesders In the yards , but , na usual toward the last of the week , there was an evident decrease In the dmand , and after such a sharp break In beef valuss buyers did not feel Inclined to give steady prices. In fact the market was a little sloy end lowor. Representative saUs : BEEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. IT. No. Av. Pr. 1. . 9W Jl !

HOGS The change In values this morn ing was very slight , but what llttlo did take place wun on the side of easier prices. Common light and llgnt mixed hogs , especially , were a llttlo easier , Huyers HH a rule were reporting th * market as about Hteady , but they admltlM that they had bought u llttlo better hogu for the same money than yesterday. The trade WOH a llttlo slow to open , its salesmen were asking fully steady or even strong prices , but mill everyone got down to business reasonably early und It wo * not long until the big bulk of the hogs Siad changed hands. Other markets were re- port'd as barely steady or easier , und that being the cabo It was hardly possible to hold this market up and salesmen cut loose. Light and light mixed hogs sold for the most part at $3.50 3.57'.i , heavy mixed loads at J3 GOys C3 , and choice heavy at J3.70. It will 'be remembered that yesterday the rang ? was J3.50ij3.72V4. One thing Is notlre- abld nt the present tlmo and that la th * very good demand for cnolco heavy hogs and the wider range between common and good kinds , Iluyers are discriminating very much more closely in the matter of quality than they were u week ago. A planco at the table of receipts above will show that there hn been a considerable gain In the matter of receipts this week. From the table of average prices It will bo noted that for three fi ys In succession there has been little chance In the uverago price paid for hogs on tills market , aUo that the market is now Just about where it was nt tlio opening of the month , Her No , Av.
