At the start the packers tried to estab- | Ushed anew grade, placing the lights I running from 160 to ISO pounds at $14.25, i a loss of 50c over the week-end, while : from ISO to 250 pounds 35c more was conceded. The sellers refused to budge, through, and most of the sales between 160 and 250 pounds wore made at a reduction of 15c from Saturday's prices, though some i brought, only $14.50. while a few went ; for *14.65. In the opinion of the packers too many half-fat hogs were on the market, hence j their attempt to establish anew scale of j weights. For heavies the market during the day j ruled fairly steady. Pigs were again an especially west spot, the top of §12.25 showing a drop of 50c. Roughs also were on the decline, the top receding 25c. Calves. Receipts, 350; active and 50c@$l higher. Rain kept down the truck receipts and quick sales were mado as soon as the i stuff was unloaded. Quite a number of extra fancy vealers : sold at $15.50. but the average was 50c below that mark. Good and medium '-alves ranged upward with the choice, whiie the dinks were only about steady, with sellers generally willing to accept any reasonable ! bid. Cattle. Receipts, 900: steady to weak. The market for heavy steers was the particular stumbling block for the sellers. ! these being in extra supply compared with other stock, resulting in n draggy recession to the basis of Thursday's f prices. This in lesser volume also applies to i other classes, but the call for butchers 1 was active. For stockers and feeders and canners and cutters the week-end ranges were generally well maintained. Sheep. Receipts and market both nominal. When only seven sheep and two goats constitute the arrivals the market could not be otherwise than dead. Embargo Lessening. Railroad conditions improved considerably over the week end. with nil of the east again open to outgoing freight on ,practically a normal basis Chicago and East St. Louis, however, continue on the taboo list.
