For the week, receipts have been about the same as lor last week, out a nine neavier man for the corresponding week of last year. The demand from killers has been very limited and trading has been slow, with the tendency of prices decidedly downwaid. A liberal proportion of the receipts this week consisted of cornfed beeves. The de mand for beef, the same a Is generally the case just before the holidays, wa very 11m lted. and aa recelota of fat cattle were lib eral at all point the market could not help but suffer a sharp decline. This was true at all points and the Omaha market euf fered no worse than others. J Big heavy cat tie and shortfed . and -ervmed-up t grades suffered the worse and ctiuld be quoted all of 25&S5o lower. The cbqloef handy weights are around 16026c lower- fdr the week. Warmed-up cattle may be quoted from 13.00 to xs.,6, lair to gooa rrom vs.nu 10 . ana a-ood to choice from 14 to S4.V5. witn some. thing extra fancy at 16, pr possibly a trifle more. Aa compared with a year ago, choice heavy cattle are around 21 per hundred lower, while lightweight and warmed-up kinds are not much different. Last year, however. Immediately after Christmas the market began to Improve and In a short time had advanced materially. ' The row market has also been In bad shape this week.' The medium grades have ruffered the worst decline ana may be quoted 2541 35c lower. Cannera are not so mil 'h different and the choice grades are around 16026c lower. Canners are selling from 11.75 to 12.15, fair to good grades from ?.16 to $2.60 and good to choice from 12.60 to 13.26. As compared with a year ag- h better grades of cows ars sl of 2Cg)63o lower, while Cannera ana tns me.ium e-radea are not much different. Bull are a big quarter lower than a week ago and slow sale at the decline. Fnlr to good bulls are selling from 12.C0 to 12.60 and good to choice from 12.60 to 13.26. These nrlcea are about 60c lower than a year ago. Veal calve have not shown much change, best grades selling up tq 15, or about 60c lower than a vear ago. Blocker and feeders have been In light upply all thl week and with a fair de mand prices on desirable grades have held fully steady, and In fact some sales are a little higher. Choice yearlings and cattle ef good quality weighing from 850 to 900 pounds sell to the best advantage. Cattle of that description In some exses show an advance for the week of lMilSc. The le s desirable grades are only about steady for the week and rather slow sale. Common cattle sell from 13 down. Fair to good a-radea ao from 12.00 to 13 26 arid good to choice largely from tl.25 to 23.60. As high as 13 86 was paid this week for a choice bunch of yearlings As compared with a vear ago, stock cattls average about iOTSo lower. BEEF STEERS. Ma ,' ' At. rr.

Packers all seemed to be anxious for supplies and the market opened about IHo higher, but soon Improved and was 2H'a&0 hlaher, but mostly 6c higher. Trading was quite active. so that an early clearanoe was made. The bulk of the hogs sold from 940 to 94.96. with some early sales and llaht welahta at M 27H. Highly mixed loads or those that run all tha way from heavy hogs down to pigs were very siow saie ani in several caaaa had to sell down from 14 .11 to 14.23. For the week receipts of hogs have been fairly liberal and. while prices have fluc tuated back and forth .to quite an extent, the general tendency has been downward.
