CATTLt) Receipts of cattle wera ex
tremely light this morning only eighty-
nine cars oeing reported In. Still there
wea a very fair run for New Year's day,
being considerably larger than a year
ago.
It was very evident that packers
wanted a few killing cattle and they
were out In the yards early this morning.
Anything carrying flesh met with very
ready sale and the yards were cleared
by 10 o'clock in the morning or soon af
ter. The prices Paid were at rone- to 10
cents higher than last week's close. This
would apply to beef steers, cows and
heifers equally well.
in the feeder division the situation was
Just the opposite. The severe cold wea
ther has limited the demand for feeders
and stock cattle with the result that there
were very rew country buyers In this
morning. On the other hand speculators
were apparently afraid of the near future
of the market and they were holding
back and not trying to do very much.
Cattle having any kill sold to the packers
at goou prices out tne medium to com
mon kinds of feeders and stock cattle
were nara to move and Drloea were
shsrply lower.

H041S like most New Year'a markets.
today's hog trade was a small affair, in.
volvlng the sale of only an odd forty
loads. The packing demand opened early
and active and clearance of the bulk
was made within the first hour of trad
lng, prices ruling 5rrl0o higher. The im
provement, especially at mldsesslun, was
very pronounced, but inquiry slackened
toward the close and a few scattered
loads, unsold late, had to move at shaded
figures, as compared with those In force
early.
Miippers ana speculators bought spar
Ingly. as local values are almost on
parity with those In the eaal. and the
absence ot a Working margin woe directlv
responsibie for outside orders calling for
less tnan a nan aosen loaas.
Not much change developed In the
spreads between lard, butcher and bacon
weights, the best heavies selling at the
top, with common lights at the bottom.
Smooth hogs, weighing 2M pounds.

SHEKP Parkers cleaned up the limited
receipts of fut lambs without any q nih
il. .tig or delay, paying prices about a
dime higher for anything fit to kill. Im
provement was warranted by aluea at
other points, but the fact that local sup
plies navs Deen unuer requirements lor
some lime past furnished the best argu
ment for a higher scae of quotations.
Hood fed lambs landed at IV 40 and shorn
lamba sold at t:.&0. I-at lam be that were
nothing to brag about brought 4o.wxio.ou,
the price ranse on fair to choice wooled
stuff being decidedly wide, the same as
recently.
There were 110 sheep of consequence
Included In the run, but the few scat
tered buuehea that did ahow up moved
readily at levels easily firm. 8onie na
tive ewes-a few head reached 4.ut, ao
that It la safe to yiit.t fed westerns at
this limit Plirue wethers would probably
sell around 84 I.VfM 25 and tonpy yearlings
are tld named at or nesr 15.00.
Feeder trsde wan a psrkase affair, the I
amount or buslne proving too small to
afford anything like an accurate Idea of
country cot In the various lines of stock.
Dally piirclie f feeder have eldom
exceeded l.fi head lately, a both the
supply and demand have been very small.
