Hamilton Lee Rothschild Werthelmer , Other Buyers Total 6.620 7,740 10,719 CATTLE There were more cattle here today than arrived yesterday, and, as Chi cago was quoted dull and weak, packers were Inclined to be rather bearish at thlj point also. Feeder buyers aljo failed to take hold with their usual amount of energy, so that that class of cattle suffered to quite an extent. There were quite a few cars of cornfed steers in the yards this morning, and, while the choicest bunches sold at about steady prices, the short fed kinds were t-low sale and undoubtedly lower. The top price of the day was only $5.50, so there were no strictly choice cattle on sale. Although packers did not take hold very freely, prac tically everything was Bold In fulrly good season. The cow market was also a little lower than yesterday. A large proportion of tlie receipts consisted of cow stuff and that fact gave buyers a good opportunity to pound the market. The medium to com mon kinds naturally suffered tho rro t, as there were comparatively few choice cattle offered. The decline would safely be covered on even the common kinds by 5loc. Trad ing was not active at any time, so the day was well advanced before a clearance wj.3 made. ... Bulls, veal calves and stags could be quoted steady ta a shade lower. The stocker and feeder market sufferel the most of any today. The demand from the country yesterday was rather a dis appointment to the trade and as a result there was no life to the market this morn ing. Some of the best grades of heavy dehorned cattle arJld early at about steady prices, but aside from thoso the market was slow and considerably lower. The kinds that broke the most were yearlings, and especially the horned cattle that were lacking In quality. That class. In fact, waa almost unsalable at any price. It Is aimost Impossible to quote the amount of the de cline, as the prices paid were very uneven, some sales showing a decline of 1526c. There were only a few western .rasa beef steers on sale, but In the majority of cases the market held steady where ths quality waa at all good. Common stuff, the same as usual, waa neglected and was certainly no more than steady. Range rows were a little slow and weak to a in- inD.r ntnekers and feeders, as noted above, suffered a sharp decline, except where the weights were heavy and the quality exceptionally good.

There was considerable unevenness in tb prices paid so that while some sales were not quite a nlrkel higher others were a dime higher. The hogs began moving toward the scales at an early hour and the bulk of the early arrivals was soon out of first hands. Heavy hogs sold largely around $5.45 with some common heavies going be low that figure. The medium weights went largely from $5.50 to $5.60, while the light weights sold from $5.60 to $5.80. The last end of the market was hardly aa active as thu opening and the late sales were, If anything, a shade easier. Except for the late arrivals an early clearance was made. About noon several cars of hogs arrived and these sold In about the game notches as those that came In early, so that the extreme close was steady with the open ing.

Pack ers all seemed to be anxious for supplies and bought up the few bunches of killers that were offered at good steady prices and claimed they did not have near enough to fill their orders. The feeder market was also In good shape aa a large number of buyers arrived and took hold freely. The more desirable grades were disposed of In good season at steady prices. In view of the large Supply of feeders In sight the common kinds were more or less neglected but still even those could not be quoted much or any lower.

The California and southern Importstions could do nothing but wonder at the horde of them. Over 100 wagons were drawn up around the wholesale market corner at Eleventh and Jackson streets at an early hour and late comers were forced to beck up under the windows of the Windsor hotel. Tomatoes, corn, grapes, cucumbers and apples were In abundance and potatoea and cantaloupes were more numerous than for some weeks. The tomatoes opened up at three baskets for IL but took things more seriously later on and got down to 26 cents each. Potatoes were a hit cheaper also, running about 76 cr 80 crnts, with one load getting away at 80 centa. Corn was given away nt or 7 cents. The Wolff river apples from Iowa would surprise anyone, some of them without the scales weighing a pound or a pound and a Quarter.
