GRASS STEERS
With Some Stuff of . Good . Quality
Formed Bulk of the Receipts.
THERE WAS A SHARP CUT
Packers Are Trying to Break the Mar
ket for the Better Grades Hogs
Were in Fair Supply and of
Excellent Grade.
IHoujton Post SHcial.y
PORT WORTH June 4. Cattle receipts on the
first market day of the week were moderate 3100
head against 2313 a week ago 1040 a tnonth ago.
2333 a year ago 8044 two years ago and 1818
three years ago.
The supply for Monday was principally of grass
steers with a good supply of good ones of this
class. Heavy fed steers were not very numerous
. but medium weights seemed to be hers in ample
numbers.
It became apparent st the opening of the
market that packers intended to narrow the spread
that has existed for some time between choice
and medium cattle. They succeeded In taking off
25 to SOc and were anxious to get off another
dime' but shippers Balked at this and shipped out
their stuff. A load of twenty-two steers from
Cresson handled by one of the best feeders in
Hood county blocky hard fat and weighty enough
to scale 1245 pounds could only make 4 35. A
week ago such cattle sold at 4.8$. Bidding on
other fed cattle not quite so good as these was so
Low as to result in loss to feeders In their est!
mation- and St.- Louis became their usual limit
of destination. It was an unexpected and disas
trous cut. Medium fed and medium weight steers
sold but little there st last week's price tbs
range being $00 to S.40 an 4 weights running
from BOO to 1050 pounds. Market conditions
were very unfavorable and selling dragged from
the very a tart-
Butcher cows were really very few and medium
in quality. Very few good cows and not many
cannera were in sight. The demand for cows was
sufficient to absorb all offerings at fully steady
prices. Top cows brought 8.00 with the bulk
3. 40 2.70.
Bulls were scarce and selling lower on 8 very
weak demand.. 'A right good supply of calves
was on offer consisting of five loads the most of
these rating good to choice. A strong demand
prevailed from packers with local butchers also in
the trade; end the supply sold early on a quick
clearance-at pries fully steady with tbs close of
last week. Choice veals sold at 4.8O04.T5.
Heavy calves met with a good demand and New
Orleans stutf was scarce and stronger.
Tbs supply of hogs waa the largest for a month.
230$ head against 1731 s week ago 1SS4
month ago 887 a year ago 478 two years ago.
and 1801 three years ago.
The quality of offerings was very good the
run having a heavy packing end with it medium
packers and light butcher weights showing ex-
cellent finish for the most part.
Although there were three outside buyers in the
trade whose purchases ran up to one-fourth of the
day's supply snd took in some of the choicest of
ferings the market sagged uneven and a big dime
lower on the bulk from the start. The choice
run was not excessive snd prices there were only
half a nickel lower. . At Kansas City the market
was weak to 8c lower on a run of $000. It was
difficult to understand the deep cut st this mar
ket. The top brought 8.S0 to go to Mexico with
the bulk making 8.25 Pigs were scarce and in
good demand the buying side however intend
ing to keep the price close to 5.0$.
Sheep came to market in two doubles and one
single to the number of 8111. The single lead
was of a common ordinary class and did not selL
The two doubles were of s better class than has
been seen on the yards for a yesr but sold lower
quality considered though bringing the high price
of the year 6 50. They were all wethers.

up and the stand generally good. Seventy-
five hundred acres are now under water.
The crop is two months earlier than It has
ever been; will be ready for some harvesting
by August 1. A new industry has been the
lnf!t:lling of a saw mill near the large
pumping plant at the river. Ail improve-
ments over the farm In the. way of new
bridges boxes and flume repairs have been
mudfj of live oak the output of this
plant to say notninjr of fences and tho
very general repairs that have been given to
the tenant houses. Through T. V. Lane

snd the one at Placedo before there wilj be
