direction OF lower prices After about 10
O'Clock there WAS slightly freer buyIng and
a steadier feeling obtained. The run was
| about average for a Tuesday, amouut-
| ing to 5000 head. More than half of that
number consisted of range cattle. Ma
tlres of good to extra quality were in
scantv supply and again showed firmues>;
| other descriptions were slow at Mondays
/ quotations. There was good inquiry for
stockers and feeders and many sales were
! reported within range of s2d3 30. Sales
/ of native cattle were on n basis of SlEI6 20.

/ about nickle higher, but good many
1 hogs changed hands ut not better than
( steady figures. The receipts did not near
I " come 10 to the expectations, barely
! reaching l3, 900 head. as against more than

many below 81 - and still fewer at So 30,

at II goo, which would make total for
the last two days of AZ 600 head. Only
once before were as many received in the
space of fUrty-eight hours. That was
during Oct. 10 and II last year, when
