provided the sensation of the week on
the stook exchange. Tho decline of IS
points In Union Pacific, without a defi
nitely known cause beyond heavy New

of chaos for a time. Fortunately, deal

the market fears the outcomo of conti

losses In the American departments.

CATTt,h i nero Were no fresh cattle
today, at least nono of any consequence,
but for tha week receipts have beon fairly
liberal, being about the same as last
week, but around 3,000 head short of the
record for the corresponding week of last
year.
Conditions irovernlnir the cattle trade
have been unfavorable in all sections of
trio country, soft and unseasonable
weather In the cast has decreased the de
mand for western beef to such an extent
inai prices ai an marset points, regard
less or tne ract that receipts havo not
been burdtnsome. havo Btoadlly declined.
This accounts for tho fact that at the
close of the week beef steers are around
25c lower than last week.
Cows and heifers havu been subject to
the same Jnfluenco as beat steers, but
have shown oven more decline, they being
around 6dj50c lower than at the close ot
iosi weea. mo amount or the decline,
as a matter of course, depends upon the
quality and kind ot stock. Veal calves,
on the other hand, have been good sellers
an me weea anu nave snown compara
tively little change.
Tho mild weather has been verv fxvnr.
able to the stocker and feeder trade, nnd
mo movement ai came ot that descrlD
tlon lias vean very satisfactory. Irlcs
nava aeon strong an tne week on tho de
slrablc kinds at leust.

IIOQ8 The recent successlvo breaks In
hogs unmistakably caused a further re
duction or receipts this morning, as only
In tho neighborhood of 65 cars, or 4,4ss
head, were reported In. Tho supply was
the lightest for a Saturday since Novem
ber 9, and only about half of what showed
up a week ago, two weens ago or on the
same day lust year. Tho quality In gen
eral was very fair for this tlmo of the
year.
With such a light run at the yards the
packer buyers were the chief factors in
the trade and set out bidding prices about
a nlokel lower for the, bulk of the good
hogs. It was a case of sellers asking a
little more money with packers blddlnc a
trifle lower, and after some dickering a
compromise was made, the majority of
the offerings moving at a range of prices
iteady with yesterday's general market
In other words the bulk of the hogs sold
around $7.107.15. with several loads
reaching $7.20. top for too day and Identi
cal with yestcrday'a highest price. On
the whole the early movement was active
with trade apparently slowing up some
at the close. The pens wero cleared In
good season.
The average price of hogs today makes
the general run of sales around 4045c
lower than tho end of last week, the bulk
! U'lJl? week , bringing prices
at $7.50tt7.flO. aa against $7.107.15 today.
Hogs sold as high as $7.63 lost Saturday,
as compared with $7.20 today. Receipts
for tha week were fairly large, there
being around 62.700 head yarded, as
against 69.400 head last week. 48.200 head
two weeka ago and 68.200 head during the
Same week last year.

SHEEP The sheep barn was practically
bare of fresh supplies, which Is not un
usual on a Saturday. Therefore values
are quotably the same as on Friday's
market. '
Good to choice lambs. nVfint trlnw m
TO to 85 pounds, were in best demand all
... ,.u . ,u, net, rcaay sen
iors. Anything heavier than that mvi
more or lest slowly on most days and
trade waa somewhat uncertain, resulting
In an uneven range of prices. Closing
Prices for the week on the best iamb of
ferings are quotably a quarter higher
than a week ago. As the packer buyers
discriminated against the less desirable
Kradea, prices on them show not so muoh
advance. What was true in the lamb
trade was also In a measure true In fat
sheep, the discrimination be!n$r more ap
parent against heavy ewes than wethers
and yearlings. This may have been be
cause killing ewes formed the bulk of
the aged shep offerings most of the
wesk. there being comparatively re
yearlings and wethers coming. During
tho week the best ewes reached as high
aa $4.73, while on yesterday's market good
ewes brought $4.3J. as compared with $4.40
lost Friday. The consensus of opinion Is
that prices on fat sheep in general are
rjuotably 1MJ2SC higher than values at the
end of last week.
The feeder demand was limited most of
the week, the only Inquiry for anything
on that order being for shearing lambs or
for short fed stuff, to be taken to the
country for the Bocond time.
