well supported on every reaction. En
couraging news for the bull was . re
ceived from the Canadian northwest,
where damage bv frost waa reported ana
the official prediction called for continued
cold weather tonight. Prices at WinnU
peg were strong. During the last few
minutes oi tne traninj a targe commis

the side of a wider spresd between the
light and heavy weights. Thus the best
light hngs were a little stronger, or as a
good many would put It light hogs were
already to a little stronger according to
quality. On the other hand heavy hog
were steady to a little easier. In some cases

time very active and yet the hog were

BHh.h-1' Receipts of sheep were again
large this morning, tnere being a liberal
run of both killers and feedera. The de
mand waa very good and tne market In
consequence In lairly satisfactory condi
tion. '
Although the demand for fat sheep was
goud, the fact that Chicago was reported
lower and that prices here were already
high In comparison put buyer on the bear
side. With liberal receipts In their favor
tiiey were able to buy killers pretty gen
erally 10c lower than yesterday. Still the
market was active and the trade In a
good healthy condition. Even after tbe
decline pricea were high and seller well
satisfied with results.
Feeder buyers were again out In full
force and the barn waa lull of men look
ing tor something to take back to the
country with them. Feeder lambs were
frnod active . seller and fully steady. A
ong string of right good feeders brought
86 90. Feeder wethers on the other hand
were In many Amies as much aa loc lower
than yesterday. The trade was quit ac
tive on all kinds, the market opening early
In the morning and continuing In good
shape until clearance was effected.

CATTLE There was a liberal run
cattle this morning; and While there was
corresponding good demand the market
waa not In satisfactory condition, uncer
tainty regarding the action of the govern
ment on the quarantine quostlon put every
one at sea, with the result that the trade
waa later than uaual In opening and It waa
well on toward midday before any great
amount Of business had been transacted.
Good corn-fed- cattle seemed to be -In
fair request at about steady pricea. On
the other hand western beef waa slow and
very dull from start to finish.
There waa a very good showing of cows
and helfera and they sold, generally at
steady prices. The market yesterday was
stronger und some who did not have cattle
on yesterday' market or who did not have
the right kind to get the strength were
reporting their salea today a little stronger.
Good lieshy feeders were steady, but ev
erything else was extremely slow and it
waa late before '.he market opened on that
kind and still later before anything like a
clearance was effected. '
