same as on Monday, with q slow, dragging
trade Ordinary to extra native Steers, Sas1
with few of the best up to l34c, and ordinary
TO choice Texans ranged from 81 to 9lc, dressed
The common impression and belief among the
trade respecting the near future is that prices
must touch lower mark, both here and in the
West, before there can be q steady and strong
demand for beef, and that all the efforts of the
speculators to control and regulate prices must
be futile so long as the supply is greater than
the actual wants of consumers.
Caves-Receipts 30 head, chiefly State grass
ers: The demsnd 'ras steady at trmer prices,
and the market closed firm at 6alOc per 10 for
