LIVE STOCK PRICES AT SOUTH OMAHA , Cattle Market Steady to Low er, Receipts Fair HOGS ABOUTJOC LOWER Sheep and Lambs Lower; Large Sup ply Causes Crash Similar to Last Monday’s. No Early Market; Few Clipped Lambs Sell Around Noon at About $10.00. Union Stock Yards, South Omaha, Neb., June G, 1916. The week opened with a fairly liberal run of cattle, 234 loads or about 6,400 head. Prices seemed to be lower for everything but the strictly good to choice heavy beeves. Owing to the advices from other markets being of a bearish na ture, and although the local dressed beef men and shipping buyers had pretty good orders to fill, they want ed the cattle lower, their bids being 10 @ 15c lower. Real choice heavy beeves brought $10.60@10.65, and very good cattle brought $10.15©) 10.35. The fair to good 1,000 to 1,250 pound beeves sold largely at $9.50© 10.00. The supply of she stock was small, and went at about steady ^ prices, the range being from $4.75 to $8.25, bulk of the fair to good butcher and beef stock going at a spread of $6.50@7.50. Quotations on cattle: Good to choice beeves, $10.20@ 10.65; fair to J good beeves, $9.50@10.10; common to ['fair beeves, $8.25@9.40; good to choice heifers, $8.00@8.75; good to choice cows, $7.75@8.50; fair to good cows, $6.75®7.75; canners and cut ters, $4.50@6.50; veal calves, $9.00@ 12.00; bulls, stags, etc,, $6.50@8.50. With the exception of a few sales, Monday’s hog market was about 10c lower. One or two of the packers needed a few liogs eariy. and paid prices that were not much more than 5#10c lower, however, there were only a few scattered loads sold this way. Shippers had some orders, but Uiey were not urgent, and were filled at about a 10c reduction after the packers got started. Most of the offer ings moved at $9.20@9.30, the tep reaching S9.40. ine supply ot sheep and lambs for Monday was liberal, some 21 cars, or about 5,300 head. The break at Chi cago on last week's close seemed to have a tendency to lower prices here, and as the packers have been protest'-' :ng for some *ime that prices ,vore far too high, they promised to get them down to a working basi.-- at the first opportunity. That today was the chance they have been looking for was evident right from the start. Buy ers came out at about the usual time, but refused to make a single bid, con fining themselves to the prediction that g prices would be lower than at last * week's close. Quotations on sheep and lambs: Lambs, spring, |8.00@11.00; lambs, fair to choice, handy, $3.00@10.0d; lambs, fair to choice, heavy, $S.50@ 10.00; yearlings, fair to choice, handy, $8.25@P.OO; yearlings, fair to choice, heavy. ?7.00@8.25; wethers, fair to choice, $i>.75@S.OO; ewes, good to choice, $6.50@7.00; ewes, fair to good, $5.00@t>.50.
