CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Nineteen thousand
cattle on sale, and less than 1900 or that
good shipping cattle to meet the demand,
while OF the common and medium kinds
there were too many; therefore. while the
former were wanted at full steady prices,
the latter had to sell lower. The recent adj

Of half-fatted stock was depressing. and
the demands of holders for better prices
not good enough to sell for S or better
were lower TO the extent OF 5dlOc per 100
pounds, and moved slowly at the decline.
The range Of quotations for natives was
NI6.15. and sales were principally at $3.50
$50 for cows and bulls. and at $15.5O for
