REMARKS.
Drovers have been very we'll satisfied with
their returns today from veal calves, swine
and sheep and lambs, and in another week
we expect TO sec larger throw from the
country Of this stock. Mich cows and
springers were plenty, but few buyers were
seen. Beef cattle were In larger supply
than they have been for several weeks.
and the call Is rather light. Stock can easily
be kept up country a few weeks longer and
be benefit to the market and drovers
rather than pay for frcightnge each week.
A few cattle from the country is all that is
needed
