Tho cattle run at all tho markets Is small today, supply hero 10,000 bead, and prices nro 0 to 15 higher all around. Last week closed dull on all kinds, heavy supplies of fed cattle tlrst of tho week enabling killer buyers to 1111 ud nrettv full, and storms Into in tho week keeping country buyers nt home. Todny's run was below the expectations of packer buyers, which excited keen competition' among them, while the bright sunshine and the satisfactory way fat catllc arc now selling stimulates country demand today, and the loss of hist week Is being recovered. Offerings from tho range uro small now, confined to a few Blockers at 3 75 to 4 50, and panhandle cows at 2 00 to 3 15. The feature In the olTerlngs from tho rango country todny Is a ship-ment ship-ment of twenty cars of Idaho hay fed cattle, bulk of which weighed 1273 Jbs. and sold for 5.00, about thteo loads of light steers soiling at 1 00 to -i 25. Corn fed steers sold up to 0 40 today, with numerous sales nt 5 70 to 0 30, bulk of sales 4 00 to 5 75. The moderate supply of fed cattle at nil markets today indicates indi-cates that future receipts of this clns may not be as heavy as has been counted, on, In which event better prices mny be expected, as tho demand from killers Is first class. Tho supply of sheep arid lambs was 38, 000 head last week, and the market closed tho week about steady on nil kinds as compared with clobo of previous week, ewes nnd wethers possibly a shndo higher. Somo of the Standard Meat company's stuff sold to nrrlvo today, the wethers at 5 75 and ewes nt 5 25, considered consid-ered a strong price as compared with Eastern markets. Tho top on lambs re-cently re-cently Is 7 50, the best yearlings rccelvud lately sold at 0 50, although neither pric e ropesents tho limit of tho market. Tho light weight pea fed lambs are not killing out as good as It had been hoped they would, although averaging rather better than last year. Light weight lanlbs, below 70 lbs., bring 7 00 to 7 20, while those from 70 to 77 lbs. bring up to 7 50. The mnrket on Iambs 80 lbs or better has not been tested recently. From this time forward for about a month the market was weakest last winter, but this is likely to be rovcrscd this season, on account of tho short number avnllablo for this nmr-ket. nmr-ket. ! J- A.
