reported in. This makes the total for the
four days slightly' over 1,000 head mantr
than for the same period last week, but
over 5,000 head larger than for the ame
day last year. . ,
While receipts or tat caino a mo

market, however, was very slow and fully
lOo lower than yesterday.
What has been said regarding beef steers
would apply equally well to cows and heif
ers, they, too, outside of the first sale
were a good 10c lower than yesterday, with
the trade slow at the decline.
Good feeders were again In active de
mand this morhlng and anything answering
(hat description commanded good steady
prices. Quite a string of desirable feeder
sold as high as $6.10. There was no great
number of stookers In the yards, the sup
ply being limited principally to odds and
ends, but the feeling on the common thin
stuff Js still very weak and the demand
limited.
The market rraw worse on killing cattle
and at the close was safely 10ft 15c lower
than yesterday morning.

HOGS Bids were lower all along the
Una at the opening this morning and the
market was lacking In life In both di
vision. Most offer during first rounds
were Just about a nlekel lower than yes
terday's average market and a few hog
Changed hand on this basis. Selected
loads of strong weights possibly were no
worse than weak to 6e lower, but the de
mand was limited, and the amount of busi
ness transacted necessarily small.
Later In the morning after sharply lowrer
messages from the east had been posted,
buyers demanded concessions of a big dim
and sellers were forced to dispose. of the
largo portion of receipts at this decline.
Movement, however, waa by no means
active and the general dullness to trade
waa apparent from start to finish. Mixed
load, underweights especially, have been
meeting with a sharp discrimination lately
and the best figures that could be obtained
today were all of a big dlmo lower than
yiuterday and In many cases 15o lower.
Total receipts were normal.
A wldo spread of fi3&ilt).65 bought up a
considerable slice of supply and tup
reached $9.70, as compared with yester
day's record top of $9.75.

flHKKP There was not much activity to
the trade In the heep barn thl morning,
but In spite of the Indifference of dr-manil.
practically everything on sule commanded
generally steady prices. Supply wijf some
what heavier than recently and a uig por
tion of the early arrivals consisted of
lambs. Colorado were especially in evi
dence, four loud of the best Colorado-
Mexicans el!tng at $9.36. the bext price
ever paid for full loads st this point. Two
loads of Nebraska fed Mexicans were good
enough to realise $9.25. Ewes, wethers and
yearlings that looked at all good to killers
met with a reasonaoiy tair uniuiry. nut
movement was rather slow and hardly
enough business was done during early
hour to afford an adequate tet of value.
For the week thus far, supply Is some
what larger than tho combined runs of the
ii mo four days last week, but Is much
less than receipts during the corresponding
period of last yenr. Quality as a ruio has
been featured by plenty of finish and rec
ord prices, of course, occur almost dally.
Any advance, however, is only nominal,
but the call for good ewes and high dress
ing lambs appears to be more urgent than
Inquiry for other classes, and they havo
been selling to a better advantage as a re
sult. .Demand from shearers for wooled
Stuff Is tUI brisk, but the volume of trade
is seasonably limited. The highest price
paid for wooled lambs this week to be
taken back Into the country wss $9 00, hut
they carried plenty of flesh and the shearer
was forced to compote with the packer In
order to obtain them.
