CATTLE Receipts of cattle were large

us were the arrivals , they did not appeal
any too large to meet requirements of buy.
ers. Some of the packers wanted cattle tc
drive to their houses at once , and the mar
ket accordingly opened early and active ,
The prices paid were fully steady and It-
some instances sellers , who happened tc
have Just what buyers wanted secured a
llttlo stronger prices. The alleys were soon
crowded with caltle going toward the scales
and the movement In that direction was
only limited by the capacity of the scales tc
handle the cattle. Considering the liberal
run , the market as a whole was certainly in
a very healthy and satisfactory condition.
For such a liberal run of cattle the supply
of cows and heifers was small and It did
not take buyers long to effect u clearance.
The prices paid were steady with yesterday
and the market was without change or new
feature of importance. Bulls stags , etc. ,
also sold nt steady prices. Veal calves were
utcady , good calves bringing $ G.50 gen

Only a very few stockcattleor feeders were

market on good kinds of stackers Is llrm
and It does not appear to be any trouble to
dispose of anything in that line at prlcea

HOGS The market npenod 5c lower rlgh
nt the very start till * morning , under th
Inlluence of a correfvondlng decline at othe
points. As Is apt to b < the case on n dowi
market , sellers were n little slow about let
ting go. so that the movement wan not a
nctlv * ns on some days , but the hops kep
going toward the scales nnd a elMirnnro w.i
finally effected and In reasonably good ea
son. The hogs sold very largely nt $3.fi2Vif
3.65 , as against J.T67'ifTi.70 : yesterday. Th
top today was the same as yesterday , FOIIH
good heavy bogg selling as nigh as $3.75.
It will be noted from the table above tha
the advance of yesterday was more thai
wlprd out , so th.it thct hogs today did no
sieil quite ns well ns nt the close of las
week , but still n little better than on las
Friday. The market today wan only a shad *
lower than one week ngo , Representative
sales :
SH'EBP Receipts of both theep and lambs
were light , while there was a good demand ,
as usual nt this point. The market did not
develop any new features nnd there Is not
much to say about It except that It was
falrlv active at steady prices. There was
nothing hero very good , so that the sales
clvon below do not make very much of a
phowlng on paper. There was a small
bunch of snrlng lambs on sale , but they
were very common and not fat enough to
suit buyers.
