With cattle as high as the skies In
price and corn limited In supply this
year tho feeder lots aro bcpg filled with
sheep and. lambs by stock growors. At
the Union Stock yards lact week cattle
receipts ran under last year's receipts
by a margin of 11,000 "head, while hoga
fell behind S-il.esi, aa compared, with the
same time one year "ago. ' Kiep,' how
ever, balanced the slump :n tho hoc and
cattle receipts, running 231,905 head above
the sheop receipts at the local market a
year ago.
This pretty nearly touches the high
water sheep mark for 1910, which set tha
record at 197,912 head. The receipts in
sheep so far this year aggregate 191,733
head, being a slight margin under the
record which was made. In October, 1910.
Reports from different markets showed
less falling oft In cattle and hogs by
comparison with their records of a year
past, but the supremacy of the local mar
ket In sheep receipts easily distanced
those' of the other markets.
Prices In cattle and ' hogs looked up
steadily, while the sheep prices of a week
ago still .held sway. In cattle the raise
went up from 23 to 83 cents, with hogs
looUInc upward 15, to 20 cents for the
week.. '
A remarkable feature of the closing oi
yesterday's sheep, market was the steadi
ness of the price notwithstanding the
reqelpts, whlph well nigh touched the
record.' Usually under such heavy 're
ceipts prices sag, but the- last week has
been an exception, stockmen say.
Accounting for the steady sheep mar
ket under the heavy receipts, stockmen
say that Instead of high-priced cattle
apd hogs being sent to the feeding lota
this year, lambs and feeder sheep aro
being-bought Instead. Corn , Is high and
cattle are high, while tha stock growers
aro too afraid of cholera to risk money
on-hor feeding. Sheep' offered the next
best bet and It Is being snatched up.
