CATTLE Receipts were not very heavy this morning, either hero or al any market points, but trey were plenty large enough to meet the requirements of the trade. Aa noted before In these columns the demand for beef is always limited at all market points during the holiday season. No one Is looking for anything like a brisk demand for cattle untk after January 1. The tew beef steers here this morning; moved aiowiy al prices that were cer tainly no better than steady and it any thing a little lower than yesterday, espo claily on the close. The best beeves here were good enough to bring $8.6u, there being nothing good In sight. Cows and heifers generally commanded good steauy prices, but the market rlosed weak. There were not enough storkers or feeders to cut much figure In the trade and prhes were without noteworthy change. All the live stock markets of tho country will be closed on Christmas day.

HOOS Receipts were ratr this morning;, about 123 ears, or 8.SU0 head, being re ported. About sixteen loads of these were consigned direct. For the four days tha run totals 3H.6HA head, a gain over lut wevk of 2.000 and 10.000 larger than a year ago. The fact that the Christmas holiday came on Thursday last year Is partly responsible for the big gain noted. The market opened out dull this morn ing, and as other points, especially Chi cago, reported anarp oecnnes, tne local trade opened with shippers and specu lators buying at 6uloo lower prices. Packers' early offers were even worse than that, being; In most Instances a flit dime off, but by the time a general move ment atarted they had Improved until tha lag end of the offerings finally sold at a 64fl0o decline. Trade remained dull thmtlarhollt. Tho bulk of sales was made at $o.90i(f IK. with quite a sprinkling at $7.00 and a ton of 17.05. For the week to dato prices ara around a nickel lower. Pack era have been bearish all through, but heavy shipping; and speculative buying helped to hold values up. Lights, which huve been ln poor request, probably show the most decline, but It has been noticed that the big, rough, packing grades have not sold so readily aa they did last week. SHEEP The packers were food com petitors for another light run consisting for the most part of lnmbs and a sprink ling of ewes. The demand fur killing lambs was so Rood that sellers were able to realise prices strong to KWflnc higher on lambs and fully steady on ewes. If anvthlng tho general quality of the lamb offerings was not quite as good, though some pretty good lambs were on tne market, there being sveral loads good enough to command 18.65, with the bulk going at $M.jib4i8.40, the most Of which were on the wheatfleld order. Most of the ewe nn sale brought $6.80(35.60, wl'h the quality In many respects Ilka yes terday. Trsde being brisk the clearance was naturally early. Two cars of feeder lamha moved at $7.80. Friday being Christmas today prac tically cloaca the market for the week, with lambs Improving 4fl"rfOc since last week's close and ewes showing an ad vance of UaifSTic. Yearlings have been In moager supply and moved up 1(kq16c. The upward tendency to prices and the healthy condition of the trade this week has been attributed largely to the fart that the country has been conservative In hipping to market, the receipts for the Cattle atronar IloKS 1 nsettletl ahees r)tnii(.
