De- IDeTe were no premium cattle IN the market, nor
were there any considerable number very thin ard
coarse oxen and stays IL might naturally be supposed
that with the much lighter supply of beef cattle this
week. ana the scarcity Of sheep prices would have adj
vanced but it be borne mind that
in the market last week than could be sold and that
reported numbers on sale this week do not represent the
actual supply there being in the yards about 200 left
from the week previous. Besides last week government
agents took 200 head and probably while this week
ihey Gld not purchase single bullock Hence while the
supply 900 head less there has been sold
for consumption here about the NUMBER
prices paid by them one week ago.
With only about $50 head of fresh cattle received on
Tuesday and but few buyers in the yards the market
closed dull with a downward tendency. Ii is said that
for next week there will be only about 200 Western cat
tie added to the O0O head held of this weeks
ke and that the supply will be less than head: but
theres just a. much reason to suppose that there will be
over 1000 sale week, a. less There Is however
good reason TO believe that until cattle begin TO
arrive, prices viii continue high.
