THE HOOF MARKET.
Receipts Shipments and Sales on Our
Stock Exchange.
There were no receipts at the stock
yards yesterday after the Light's re-
port and the only business of import-
ance done was the sale of 20 head of
cattle belonging to A. M. Jackson of
Stockdale. These sold low as Mr.
Jackson wanted to clear out and re-
turn home. The prices realized were
2% to 3 cents and the buyers were
mainly local butchers.
There were no receipts this morning.
This is accounted for by the rains
which have produced grass and enables
people to hold cattle that they would
otherwise sell.
Two consignments are expected to-
day; one of cattle from Richard Fal-
tin of Comfort an danother consisting
of cows and calves from New Braun-
fels.
Fat cattle are scarce and in demand
as are also corn fed hogs but the mar-
ket generally is extremely dull. The
local butchers are buying lightly and
seem to have little money to invest.
The prices today at noon were as fol-
lows:
Beeves $2.75®3.35; cows s2@3;
calves $3@3.50; sheep $3@3.50; hogs
$2-70@3.50.
In the Union Meat market prices
were flrm and as follows:
Dressed beef 4%@6c; dressed calves
6%c; dressed mutton 7%c; dressed
pork 5%c; ham BH@9c; sides B%@9c;
shoulders. 6!4®7c; breakfast 'bacon
10c; pure lard 6c.
Telegraphic advices from the stock
yards in St. Louis Chicago and Kan-
sas City showed that the cattle market
was steady and Texas steers were
bringing from $3.50 to $4.45.
The general indea is that the present
good prices must prevail because the
demand is better and the supply no
greater. The demand from abroad and
at packeries are far greater than ever
and must be met. The concentration

a farmer friend. They rode to New
