Ed Lyle Of the firm OF Riddell & Lyle,
was up TO Stanton during the early part OF
the week. He found quail quite plentiful, but
the weather was too cold TO make hunting
very enjoyable.
1t is no easy matter at the present time to
get apples to I'LL country orders. Western
apples constitute about all the supply there
is. but they are meeting with a good deal Of
favor at the hands Of BUYERS.
The Omaha produce market has not been
very active during the week Just closed.
In fact a good many houses are complaining
that business IS positively dull. As TO the
market, prices have not shown much
change.
Should the consumption Of butterine con-
tIuue to increase at the same rate that II
has during the past year, butter will cease
almost entirely to be an article OF commerce
in this market before very long. The
butterlne sells to the consumer at about the
same price as country butter, but the retail
merchant makes a much greater profit IN
handling the butterine, so that it is to his
interest TO push the sale of the latter.

The course OF cattle values has been unln-
terruptedly downward. In addition to the
usual ante-holiday dizziness in the cat
tie market, the prevailing stringency
in the money market is hurting the con
sumptive demand. and in consequence the
dressed beef men have no difficulty in filing
their limited orders at lower prices. The
bulk Of the receipts are half fat, warmed up
and shortfed cattle, and these kill out very
unevenly. Cattle that looked cheap in the
pens killed out dear, and cattle
tina looked comparatively high priced
on the hoof killed out more than worth
the money. In order to DE on the safe side
buyers have endeavored 10 get everything
cheap, both good aud common. TIL com
paratively liberal supplies have enabled
buyers to take of fully PC on all grades this
week, except, perhaps, the fancy stock, Of
which the supply has been too limited to cut
much of a figure.
Dun Saturdays Trade.
The market today was but a repetition Of
the FIVE preceding days trade. Receipts
were not heavy, nor was the quality any
thing extra. There was the same indiffer-
ence on the part Of buyers toward anything

hardly quotably lower than Friday, but
they were not any higher. Business was
slow on all but the better grades, ana
altogether the entire supply was light.
1t was late in the afternoon before the
last cattle had gone over the scales. FART
good 1850 TO l,400-lb. steers sold at from
81 u to S4.35. There were no really good to
choice oeeveS in the yards. Poor 70 fair
stuff weighing from $50 to loo lbs. sold all
the way from $ to $40. A few western
cattle were received, but they were mostly
butchers stock and feeders.
! There seemed to be a little more life and
tone 10 the COW market, this being due more
to the rather limited supply than 10 any i'm
provement in the demand. 4 bunch of very
choice cornfed cows brought s365. Really
choice cows have sold all right all week, but
the general run of the offerings are selling
all OF q quarter lower than a week
ago. Sales today included poor TO
choice cows and heifers at from sl.25 to
S3.25, with fair 10 good stuff largely at from
S2.l5 to s 10. Common large calves and
yearlings were slow sellers at from g 10 y,
while fair TO choice veals were in active de-
mand and firm at from 1915 to 81. There
was a far inquiry for rough stock of all
kinds and prices were firmly held, common
TO very good bulls, oxen and stays selling at
from Sl.65 10 81.
There has not been much life TO the
feeder market all week, but the trade today.
as is generally the case on Saturday, was
particularly dull. Supplies have not been
heavy, but with the demand from the coun-
try also restricted the market has weakened
materially, and while really desirable
feeders are not more than l0c or l5c off on
the common light and rough stock there
has Dceu a decline OF from loo TO 25c. Good
to choice feeders are quotabie at S3.OOGl3.5 80
