CATTLE Cattle receipts today were
not large enough to cut any figure what
ever so thare nranilnullu ...
Ji"v''For tne wk rPts foot up

7ui 'rer man a year ago by over
8,000 head. The arrivals have consisted
very largely of range steers with a

good advantage. Prices on that class of
tattle have, however, been about steady
for the week. On the other hand there
were a few good cornfed yearlings hers
that sold as high as $10.00. The better
grades of range beet have been tree
sellers throughout the week and at the
close are 25a higher than last week, with
Inferior and common kinds at least
fully steady.
Cows and helfors have been In exceed
ingly good demand all ths week ami on
most days have been very free sellers.
Prices have gradually firmed tip snd at
the close of the week are safely tog 16c
higher.
Stock rattle and feeders have been In
large supply all the week, a very con
siderable proportion of the cattle arriv
ing being of that kind. During the first
two days of the week the market broke
about 25c on the medium to pretty decent
kinds of cattle. The break brought In
a great many country buyers and the
market during the latter part of the week
was very active, which always means
a little stronger. Thus at the close of
ths wtek ths general market on stock
cattle and feeders cannot be quoted over
16r25c lower and the choicest grades
very little if any lower.

HOOSHog pr:ces rirmed up again to
day, the general market Indicating an
advance of a big nickel over yesterday's
values. The small end of the offering
In first hands was taken by the packer
busrs at about a nickel advance, while
the majority ef the holdings was secured
by speculators and shippers at prices gen
erally fitflOo higher. As Is usual when the
supply is comparatively light speculators
brought freely, thus compelling the pack
ers to finish tilling their orders with hogs
from second hands. Although a strong
tone was apparent In the trade, business
at no time could be described as any bet
ter than fairly lively, the yards being
well cleared by 10 o'clock. Two or three
loads that came in on a late train sold In
about tiie same notches as the previous
sales. It might be mentioned that the
general trade at outer markets, accord,
ing to early messages, Was In very satis
factory shape, prices being reported as
strong and a shade higher. A feature of
today's local trade was the fact that the
t limit was reached with a load of very
choice pure-bred Berkshire hogs. This Is
the high mark for the year and the record
price since October, 10, when $9.06 was
paid. Bulk of today's offerings sold
around $s.858.95.
Considering the Rise of the receipts
quite a sprinkling of pigs was In evidence,
in the neighborhood of 400 head being re
ported in. They sold largely at $6. 664?
(.75- The whole supply amounted to about
thirty-rour cars, or 2,200 hesd, as against
8,282 head a week ago, 2,310 two weeks
ago and 2,24 on the same day last year.

SHEEP The sheep barn was bars (his
morning of fresh receipts and In con
sequence values remain -nominally ths
same as on Friday and the day before.
Sellers have bad a very satisfactory
week- in sheep and limbs. The tetsl
supply has been moderately large, , but
short of last week and less than two
weeks ago. The receipts also fell below
those for tne corresponding period a
year ago. This fact may bs taken as
one of the first indications of the rang
season drawing to a close, a marked
decrease being noted in Idaho shipments.-
Wyoming is now the chief contributor.
Although ths market has been fairly well
supplied on most days for this time of
the year, everything on the killing order
sold almost as readily as - the packer
buyers could conveniently get at It The
packing Interests evidently had a goad
outlet for the big majority of the fat
offerings and in consequence a very fair
clearance was effected dally . in good
senson. A bullish feature Of this week's
trade was the revival of a broad demand
for dressed mutton In the east Another
uplifting Influence was the strong posir
tlon of the general trade at other live
stock centers. Prime killing lambs
reached as high as $6.60 during ths week
with the bulk of the good killers selling
around $6.26g'6.40. The consensus of
opinion anion salesmen seems to be that
lambs are anywhere from strong to
15o higher than last week's close. Killing
wethers also shared In the advance, most
of the holdings being let go from $3.l;ra
4.00. Good ewes found a ready outlet at
$3.35$r3.50. Ewes and wethers are regarded
as all of a quarter higher than a week
ago. Fat yearlings show about the same
Improvement as lambs, t
Plenty of buyers were here from the
country wsnting feeders. As both feeding
sheep and lambs were In sufficiently larg-j
supply from which to make selections a
fairly large volume of trade was done.
Ths bulk of the feeding stock moved to
moat esses as soon as sorted up, the barh
being fairly well cleared every day. Trade
on the whole has been snappy and prices
show a substantial advance. Good,
smooth light-weight feeding ewes sell
freely st $3.0093.25; heavy and coarse
grades around $2.6o2.90. Lambs weigh
ing around 60 snd 60 pounds were aelllrtK
late In the week at $60006.20, the coarse
heavy kinds and extremely fine woo led
grades being disposed of less readily than
the most desirable kinds. Feeding sheep
and lambs in gtnoral are now selling at
least a quarter higher end In some cases
as much as 8040o higher than price pre
vailing a week ago.
