The cause for this larg run 1 to ba found In the fan that pnoe at the close of laat week were very sauaiactory. A It I a well known fact that the country Is very anxious to unload cattle owing to the high price of feed It was not at all surprising thai Chicago waa completely swamped wlin receipts mi week. As a result prices there broke bad I v. Missouri river mar. kst were also heavily loaded, and they loltowed Chicago down, so that toer ha been a heavy decline all along the Hue at all points. At the close of the weak It la safe to quote all kind of killing cattle, that Is, steers, cow and heirers, as around 4oMi0o lower than last week' close. Tli best grade of feeder on the other hand have been In light supply, and for snai reason price have been but llttl changed. Mtlll they are poaslbly a trifle lower than last week. On tli other hand the medium grade of cattle, which were In very plentiful supply and not In such active demand, felt the break In beef steers to such an extent that they are around 26c lower. Common and Inferior cattle may be even lower than that.

In the general way, big bulk of a fully normal supply changed hands at steady to strong figure. Packing demand had an active tone from start to finish and speculators put additional life Into movement by the purchase of about one-sixth of the 123 loud estimate. There waa llttl or no inquiry from bona fid shippers and most of the selection made on apeculatlve ac count were load with a butcher weight average. Assortment of supply was much th same a uttual, light grades being the rule, with good lard classes the exoep. tlon. The best heavies on sale brought 66.17H. a split nickel above yesterday's top, and attractive butchers landed around IS.00.O&. Bacon and high-mixed stuff ranged from 34.00 down to less than 66.76. There were no pig of consequence on sale, but prices 'are still quotable at wide spreud of 34. Win. 26. In most In stances prices for all weights were paid readily and the yard at 10:30 o'clock were ptacticaliy empty. Itatner large receipts during tne week were distributed very creditably over the five daye and neither buyers nor sellers claimed any advantage, the market wav ering about a steady level throughout. Heavy hogs are closing about a nickel higher, while light, high-mixed and com mon butcher offerings show no material change In values. Kill K Kl There was nothing doing In any branch of tha sheep and lamb trade, as etor(lay u clearance if both feeders and fat stork was complete. Freeh ar rtvula conalated of four loads of. fat lambs consigned direct to a packer, leav ing the open market barren. On moat day luring the week re ceipt seonted to be slightly under re quirements, the first two runs claiming th only total lu excess of lO.OwO head. Offerings usually carried plenty of flesh for killing purposes and, with the ex ception of yesterday's supply, lsaa than 10 per cent of each day display was ahown In feeder tens. The rings season has praallrally terminated and fed stuff Irom the corn-belt conatitutea bulk.
