CATTLE There wan another light run of
cnttlo here today nnu tho market ruled
fairly active nnd not fnr from ntcadv.
l he demand ror beer nteers snowing
quality was in good shape and on such
grades prl.-es held nbout steady. There
wero not many good cattle offered, how
ever, nnn the less dcslraolo grades were
rather hard to move uud prices a llttlo
lower. Pnekern' orders seemed to bo rnther
Hinted, no that they did not have to tuko
the common cattlo nnd for that reason
ncllers found It illlllcult to move their
poorer grades.
The Cow market ruled active today nnd
not fnr from ntendy with ycsierdny. Some
snles looked a llttlo weaker and nomo n
little stronger, but nn a general thing the
situation could best be described by calling
it n goou iienuy ncuve marKet. iieiiers
showing quality were ulno In good demand
nt fully yesterday's prices.
Big heavy bulla and the medium kinds
wero In none too good demand today, but
tho handyweignts or rnir quality were
ready sellers at good steady prices. Stags
nlso brought yesterday's quotations and
veal calves sold nl good llrm prices.
There were so few feeders offered that
even though It Is the last end of the week
buyers bought up tne better grades nt
steady prices. Tho common stuff wns, of
course, nam 10 move, its nuyers were not
anxious to carry mni ciasn or stocic over
until next week and thero Is not much
chnnco of finding buyers for very many
thts week. Tho ndvnnre In beef cnttlo this
week has carried tho warmed-up cattlo to
a point where they nro worth more for
killers than for feeders, nnd, an n result,
not many of them nro being nhlppcd buck
to tho country. Reprenentatlve sales ;

HOOB There was only n fair run of b"gn
hero todny, nnd the mnrket opened a qhado
better than yenterday'n high lime, hr a
strong 21ic higher than yesterday's general
mnrket. The bulk of the early sales went
front $5.3714 to $5.42'. with tho long string
at $5.40. and a top of $5.45. There veir lt"t
mi many heavyweights here today, bm
thero wero a number of extra choien
medium weights nnd ns packers uro took
lug fur hogs showing quality, they paid the
top prices for them, even though tlioy wi re
not heavy. Hogs weighing 21.1 pounds sold
nt tho to of the mnrket, but they wero
good. Tito market wnn fairly nctlvo nt tho
advance, und tho bulk wnn sold In good
senson. but by the time seventy-live loads
had changed hands It slowed up 11 llttlo
and not much wns done for n tunc. Tho
Inst end of tho market was a nhailo eaaler
than earlier In the day, and most of the
sales wero nt $5.37W. though tho fuct should
bo taken Into consideration that It was
mostly the light hogs that were left until
the end. Somo of tho lightest weights sold
ns low 0.1 $5.35.
Today's advance carries the market to
tho highest point reached thin year nnd to
the highest mark since last April. Repre
