Mallory , Manager. South Omaha , July 20. Cattle The supply of cattle at all markets contin ues moderate and with cooler weather the demand has shown some improve ment. Strictly fat cattle of desirable weights and quality arc selling a lit tle better while other grades have barely held their own. Choice butchers' stock Is selling well but the trade is weak and it will only require a good run of grass cattle to cause a still lower range In prices on all but choice dry fed cattle. Stockers and feeders are in small demand and prices are the lowest of the season. As wo have stated several time's in our letters , wo look for still lower prices tills fall and we again advise keeping In close touch with us and shipping all kinds of cattle just as soon and as fast as they arc in proper condition. The range in prices will continue to widen as the strictly choice cattle will hold up fairly well while the other grades are very liable to sell still lower. Range cnttle will move freely from all sections by the middle of August but the trade Is expecting this and af ter we have had the llrst good receipts the trade will soon become adjusted to the new conditions. Ship your fat cattle and butchers' stock as soon as they arc ready. Hogs The hog trade is still In good shape and refuses to stay down. The receipts are more moderate and qual ity indicates a let-up In the near fu ture. The trade has had the usual yel low fever scare and although there Is some foundation for the "scare" this year , with the modern facilities now in vogue and the prompt action taken by tbe proper authorities , we do not think this former "bug bear" will have more than passing attention or effect. The provision market has about recovered - covered from Its reaction and we look for h'lgher prices later on as we do not believe the supply of provisions for hogs are or will bo large enough to warrant very low prices this year. The shipping and fresh moat de mand continues good and light and smooth medium weight hogs are sellIng - Ing at a good premium In Chicago and a little premium here. Shippers should study these and other market condi tions carefully and any of our readers in this territory who are not In close touch should do so at once as wo will always give them the exact situation as we understand It , regardless of how it may effect our revenues at this olllce. Today the hog trade opened active and 5(0 ( lOc higher , the greatest ad vance being on the desirable weights and quality. The bulk of the hogs sold at ? 5.57 5.C2j with top $5.05 and the heavy packers $5.50ff$5.55. We look for a fairly steady market balance of this week and good prices right along but we will also have na tural reactions which must bo guarded against as much as possible. Sheep and lambs slow sales and prices show another decline of 20J50c ( during the week. Rurnl Route No. 3.
