lOlG.-i-il'he cattle run this week
looks like an institution that was
pretty fur spout without much ip-
BorvoTorco. Tho supply estimate yos-
tordtty called for 1J!000 but only n
llttlo niordthan 11000 camo In. To-
day the moderate run of 8000 was
marked up. Prices on tho best cattlo
wore firm yesterday and cows and
Uockers and feeders also sold strong-
er. Mod'um vnd wlaln cattlo sold a
shade lower. The fcneial market is
stead' today some strong spots and
tho top went a notch higher to
?10.85 paid for ton cars of. pulp fed
Colorados. Near primo natives Bold
at $10.80 and 510.75 .and It was
easy to placo tho choice ones. At
the same timo time toward the cl030
today there were Indications that for
the present tho market has almost
reached the climax and no great ad-
vances need bo expected on euon the
best cattle for a llttlo while. Tho
tendency of medium and common
steers to work lower Is not as strong
this week as last sales of beef steers
ranging down to $8.25. Cows and
butcher stuff are selling stronger
this week choice heavy cows 8.50
and Borne fancy heifers today at $10.
In the quarantine division 7 cars ar-
rived today sales firm top $10.10 a
new high record for quarantine cat-
tle. Eighty-five cars of quarantine
cattlo came in yesterday and sold
readily. The shippers hero" yester-
day seemed disposed to take It easy
for awhile having confidence in tho
market and llboral shipments of
feeders aro a shade stronger this
quarantleB will not commence for a
couple of weeks yet. Stockers and
week .good stock steprs around
$7.75 range of sales $6.75 to $8. SO;
fcedeis $7.75 to $8.25. Hog re-
celpots .arc running liberal rains giv-
ing owners-opportunity to haul to
loading points without interfering
with corn cultivation. Receipts to-
day were 18.000 market 5 to JO
lower top $9.35 bulk $0 to $9.30.
Buyers say that the lower trend of
values If duo to tho liberal run and
should heavy rccolpts contintto the
market might go a dollar lower. At
tho samo time they admit that short
sttpplles will send prices up Immed-
iately for consumptive demand Is
vory heavy. As an Indication of the
popular opinion regarding future
hog prices Immune stock hogs an?
bringing $10.25 to $10.50 as high
as any time although a break of 25
cents on theun fs looked for this week
as there Iff quite an accumulation at
tho plants' around thfB markot. Sheop

ing choice hero plain native spring
