The disposition of the days receipts was
aS follows, each buyer purchasing the num-
,C h.,



The market starts out with mu7h larger
receipts of cattle and hoes nan the previ-
Gus week, but with fewer sheep indica-
tions all point to a large run of stock this
week at all markets.
CATrLE;-Todays receipts were more
than double the receipts OF, Mcgday a week
ago and the largest of any day since October
2S While the most of the cattle were
from the ranges, there were more natives
than have been seen here In some days.
The demand was good for cattle of all kinds,
but the sharp break in eastern markets was
the cause of lower prices here.
There were more cornfed native steers
here than for some time, and while none of
them were very choice, there were a few
lunches of pretty decent stuff One bunch
of very fair little cattle averaging LII lbs,
sold up to A2O, and heavier and coarser
brought S.@0n420. The buyers wanted the
cattle and they got out and bought them
without delay, but the unfavorable reports
from the other markets depressed values
somewhat, However, 5al0c would easily
cover all the decline.
and heifers, but none too many for the
size of the demand Buyers. however,
wanted a concession from last weeks prices
to Offset the decline at other markets. In
consequence their bids generally were about
10c lower. and they succeeded in getting
them their way.
The tendency of the feeder market was
lowor-that is, there was a feeling that the
heavy cattle, at least, ought to sell lower.
Anticipated large receipts for the week ad
prepared statesmen for declining market,
but the demand was most too active to adj
on the CONTRARY. handy light cattle sold
strong, ana heavy cattle Were so close to
steady as to leave little room for a change
