CHOICE STEERS FIRM.
Ten to Twenty Cent Rise Shown Last
Week at Chicago Over the
Week Before.
Stock Yards, Chicago, Nov. 15.—
[r Price advances of 10025c for bulk of
steers at the start of the past week
were ceded back later for all but choice
to prime heavy grades. The latter
closed 10020c higher than week ago.
Receipts for the week at 66,200, fell
9,000 below the previous week and 12,
600 under a year ago, but proved large
enough to fill demands, local packers'
operations being curbed considerably,
On the other hand, shippers bought
freely, taking within 1,000 as many
cattle as the previous week. Choice
quality and strong weight had prefer
ence from shippers and packers. Ex
1 port demand for 1,300@ 1,400 lb steers
improved, but biggest outlet for thesis
was through the Eastern shippers. On
ly a scant run of prime steers was of
fered, these selling up to $8.75@9.25.
the latter price standing within 5c of
the open market record figure made in
June, 1882. Range cattle run totaled
18,000, and steer values went 10@15c
higher than the previous week, bulk of
westerns selling at $4.8505.60, with
tops at $7.60. Outlook for next week
favors liberal runs of medium steers,
but scarcity of choice grades in feed
lots assures continued light supplies of
these. A year ago next Monday cattle
receipts were 49,128. largest on record
for one day. Native beef cows and
heifers advanced 15@35c in the week,
selling mainly at $3.4004.50, while
eanners and cutters scored 10015c ad
vance. these going at $2.25@3.15. Bulls
were firm sale and calves held the pre
vi6us week's basis. Stockers and feed
ers scored 10025c advance on last
week under broad country demand.

though some feeders arrived and they
sold on a strong basis. Native lamtj"
were 15c lower on Monday, but that
decline has been regained and a gain
of 15@25c installed in its place, com
pared with the previous week. Sorting
has been usually light of late, and
quality was rather good In most in
stances. Top iambs, $7.55: bulk $70
7.50, with most Ctills at $5.5006. Feed
