The receipts for the week have been very liberal, showing a large gain over last week and a lair gain over a year ago. In other words, the re ceipts lor this season of the year have oeen unusually large; in fact, most too targe lor ine time just preceding the noli as ys. 1 There has been a good active demand all the week for desirable beef cattle of good I to choice quality, suitablo for the holiday 1 trade. Cattle of this description have cum- 1 manded good prices all the week and are 1 Just as high a they have been any time. The beat cattle this week sold as high as 9.86, the best price paid on this market I since i:iu2. v hlle the best grades have sold to such good advantage, the high prices prevailing brought in a flood of warmed-up and naif -fat steers, which do not kill out well. Under the influence of the large re ceipts of these undesirable, cattlo tho mar ket eased off and the more common kinds are 15-325C lower than last week. Com puratlvely few range cattle have been re celved during the week, but anything In the way of desirable steers met with very ready sale at good, steady prices. The fact Is that the range cattle kill out to much better advantugo than the warmed-up na Uvea, and hence buyers give them the preference. The season, however, is prac tically at an end for that kind. Cows and hellers have also been in very liberal supply all the week, and while, as was the case with beef steers, the demand was very good for the best grades, there were most too many of the medium kinds. The result was that while good cattle for the week remained about steady, the me dium grades eased off and at tlr4 close ot I tne week are lOTfibc lower than Hint week, fanners, on the other hand, have been very good sellers all the week und to far a can be observed hare commanded about steady price. The country continue buying strictly good feeders and is apparently willing to pay the prices for that kind, at least, the market for all desirable grades has been strong all the week. On the other hand, even the low prices prevailing for common and Inferior grades of stockers and feeder fail to get them off very rapidly and the market on that kind has been slow from day to day. Still there has been no very great change In prices, as they were low to begin with. HOGS Hogs were 240 higher this morn ing than yesterday's general nuukei. S01110 ol the big heavy l.oga did not look wry much higher than yesterday, while, on tho other hand, some of the beet light and butcher weights may possibly have been as much as 6c higher in epots. Still the gen eral markca. a noted above, could baldly be called better than 24o higher. While the) trade wa not particularly active there wa a fair demand and the moat of tho aiTlvals changed hands in fair season. As mill be noted from tha sales below, the great big buk of all the hogs sold at 96.0746.16, as against .0ia4.10 yesterday. A few loads of light bogs sold up to 964, as against Stt.'-O, the top yesterday. The receipts of hogs this week show a large gain over last week, but a falling off as compared with a year ago of about 10.Ua) head. The market for the week lias had both una and downs. At the beginning there was a considerable advance, but on Tuexday ar.d Wednesday price broke bidly. During the last two days there has been a slight xaction, so that the v-ek ckses with the market on an average only about Jo lower than the close of last week.

BHEEP Receipts cotislBted of onlv ti,r car of ewee, aihtch were sold at t".!6 be fore the break in the market, for delivery today. Tho rtcelpt for th week ahow a very llljeral gain over list weeK rii srt lightly larger tham a j ear ago. A great change has taken plac In the market ot the country this week. As usual, just preceding the holiday reason, there was a very good demand for strictly good to choice ahep and lambs 1'aJoi tunately the high prices prevailing, tu gtiher with the high price of feed In th country, acted as a great Inducement f0. shippers to send In their sheep and lamt.s Thus the markets st practically all point wera flocalad aith infeiir and uiifti.isl.ed stuff, the very kind thl is never in tr goJ demauu just prevlo-j to tLe Lvll-Jay season. Smothered with an ovcrsupply of unfinished or interior grBdes, it was 1101 Kun'ixtng that a general decline took pluco at ull market points. As usual, when tho mark' t breaks from an ovcraupply of Inferior grades, the de cline vaw not limited to the kind causing the trouble, but good to choice grades were carried down with the others. South Omaha experienced un exceptionally good di niand fur both sheep and liuulie until Wednesday, when the packers began to get filled up and from that day until tli close of Uin week the tendency of values was downward. It became, In fact, not so much a matter of prices an of llndlng some one who wuuted tho ututt. As noted yes terday, h decline lor tli week on wsthuis and vearllngs Is generally l&(Jic, although choice light yearlings on the lanib order are not much lower. Ewes generally are 2o lower and come of the medium kinds possibly i.x: lower. The lambs, owing to their not having been very plentiful at this point, have sold about steady, although they are lower at most market. In t lie 1 a.tt the situation Is very bad, t!i Chicago Di overs Journal of yesterday savs; "It is hard for the toiiutrymen to realiio the hard and long fall, the market for both sheep and yearling ha had in late days. Many offerings today showed 4'o( 6.H1 decline from the being time of the week, which was Tuesday, with Instances of stock too flecliv for the feeders and not fat enough to attract the serious attention of the slaughters, being a much as 75; off." In speaking of the lamb trade the Chicago Drovera Journal says: "Where the salesmen were willing to accent price 4fw7;o lower than Tuesday, the high day of the week, It waa possible for them to clear the. oeiie. Where thev resisted il was im possible to Interest the buyer. The mar ket tor the half-fat to fairly good lambs continued In a demoralized state ana luanv of such titterings were still dragging on the late market with bids iuu.oui low.
