day was active from It's inception. \
great many country buyers were pres
ent and the regular dealers, despite
the fact that they purchased pretty
freely yesterday, were liberal buyers
again this morning. Receipts were OF
good extent, short OF yesterday, but
larger than a week ago. making the
total for the two days within 90 OF the
run same time week ago. Nearly ev
erything was for sale. Yesterdays
shipments to the country were fair fol
Monday, but good share of the tr.c
days run was in the pens this morn
ing. Fair to choice calves and the
lighter weight grades of steers led il
early call and the demand for little
calves was SC brisk as to create almost
an excited trade in that commodity
Real good light to medium weight
grades shared a better cali also. bu'
there was nothing exciting ahoue the
demand. Common stoc,.ers ruled dull
and neglected early. Prices on cIlves
ruled firm with last night and fully 5lt

Montana-Texas feeders sold about
steady with yesterday and South Da-
kotas fully so. In the She stock line |
there was likewise brisk, active trad |
ing on the good to choice stock heif-
ers and good young COWS. Old feeding |
cows ruled less active, but sold fully |
as high as yesterday, and the values q!
the light heifers were stronger than |
early yesterday. Fat cows and heif-
ers were in comparatively small sup |
ply, fair demand and steady, while the
poor to ordinary and medium plain
cows ruled quiet and hardly steady. |
Bulls had active call al steady figures:
veals, oxen, etc, scarce and the former
ruled firm Country buyers being
plenty and from every direction re.
ported rain badly needed. The wealth
