CATTLB There were no cattle here of
any consequence, but the total for tho
week foots up 24,307 head, a gain of about
2.200 head as compared with last week and
a falling off of about 5,600 head aa com
pared with a year ago. The market as a
wfiole has been in very satisfactory condi
tion from start to finish.
Reef Hteers have been In moderate sup
ply on most days of the week, and the ten
dency of values has been upward until at
the close of the week, when the market Is
safely 25f35c higher on the desirable kinds
than one week ago. Beef steers sold during
the week as high as $7.80, the best pric!
paid on this market since September of
last vear. Range cattle have also touched
the highest point of the year to date.
Stockers and feeders have been in very
much better demand this week than usual
of late the country neing a iree ouver
of all desirable kinds. As the supply ha
not been overly large prices' have shown
considerable strength, being quoted for the
week 15ri2.".c higher.
The feeling on the market at the close of
the week la decidedly better. The sentl- i
mcnt among cattle men has undergone a
very decided change within recent weeks,
due to moderate receipts and to the pros
pect that the run for the year is not going
to be overly large. At the same lime the
splendid consuming demand has caused a
sharp advance In prices for the product at
large eastern centers of population, all of
which Is most encouraging to the producer.

lKMiS Hog supp:y had limited size and
generady common quality, nothing extra
guod showing up with which to make u
ciedltable top. Huyers gave lack of quality
scant attention. however, and bou;ht
freely of all up-and-down grades from tne
star. Prices paid rubd strong to a nickel
higher, everything; s. Illng within an hour
or so after the opening.
Selections by shippers were necessarily
limited, a.i s:nooiii uiierir.g" eic r
I crption lo the rule. The demand from this
i quarter was lively throughout, and the
scale house recra sio.weu u mm. u. auu...
eiM-tten loads purcr.aseo Dy iraorrs not
associated with lo.ial packing concerns. En
tile offerings amounted 1o an odd seventy
ar. pnvkers' droves involving ahout 75
per cent of this estimate.
Bulk of business was done within a nar
row spread, most of the ordinary bmchers
selling at $7.1.VU7.SO. The best light butcher
animals on sale topped at $7 35 This price
is 2c under limit a week ago. but the com
parison is obvloualy an unfair one.
Continued light rune thle week have
cleared easllv. but the trade has ahnwn
very slight changea In point of prices.
Current sales average about oiiflOc higher
than bulk of business a week ago,1 but
spreads have narro-ved considerably.

SHEEP No fresh sheep or lambs were
received today and in the absence of stale
stock of any kind no market developed,
prices remaining nominal.
Normal receipts during the week cleared
with little difficulty on a trade closing
steady in handy sheep, a dime o perhaps
a quarter higher In heavy sheep and gen
erally firm in lambs. Feeder lambs show
uneven advances of 15(7j40c.
Improvement In heavy .sheep, while mod-.i-nte
hsH been attended be a bealthv de-
i mand from all packing quarters and the
discrimination aiainst weight seems to be
gradually vanishing. Wethers weighing 121 1
pounds that were taken out to be "scenery- 1
fed'' last week returned yisterday and sold
at $3.55, 30c more than they cost the specu- j
lator who bought tliem last Friday. Handy
wethers are still selllnR as high as $3.75 1
and classy ewes touched $3.65 Thursday. I
Most of the good kinds of ewes available;
lately landed at a spread of $3.25'i3.70. :
Handy yearlings have been selling around I
$4.fiOfc4.75, Indicating an extreme quotation !
of $5.
Some strength was shown in fat lamb
trade Monday when a $7.15 top was made. I
but prices settled back Into former notches
the following nay, ruling steany through
out the remainder of the week. Demand
at all times has been active and ample,
present limit being $7.
According to packers' figures on feder
purchases something like 40 per cent of the
total receipts found a country and specu
lative outlet. Free buving at advances
was the main feature of the trade. Feeder
lambs are now selling from f5.90 downward,
while good feeder ewes are drawing bids
of $3. now 3.30. Feeder yearling brought as
much as $4.80 Thursday and unfinished
wetlrs were wanted at $3.2583.40.
