la-ges. receipts for one day on record
were followed by larger supply To-
day and today nearly everything was
offered for sale For TWO days about
800 cattle against 4-o9I the same time

II moderate and this left g greater
share OF the two days supply on sale
this morning. The trade opened out
decidedly slow and draggy and up TO
noon but nominal number of cattle
had crossed the scales. All classes OF
BUYERS in the regular trade acted very
Indifferent and made all sorts OF low
bids and seemed not at all anxious for
the cattle at the bids
The country demand was not vcry ex-
tensive considering the number on
sale and with no chance for compe-
ttion whatever sellers found it hard
work TO start any movement except at
the bids Of the regular buyers a
few sales made during the forenoon
showed iQc loss from yesterday On
good little calves aid almost quarter
of yesterday on common to fair stock
er stuff. Generally the average mar
ket was from 35 to 50 lower than the
close OF the week on the common 10
fair medium grades OF stockers and
25c of on good 10 choice grades OF
stocker calves and oest heavy feeders.
Receipts included q train OF Montana
rangers, and some closely akin from
the ranges Of North Dakota, but by
far the greater bulk OF the supply and
the cattle on sale consisted OF common
to ordinary medium Minnesota and
Dakota stockers and this class had less
call proportionately than any other
and sellers concluded that about all the
maximum decline quoted would result
before they can hope to make clear
ance The scarcity OF real good cattle
was remarked. In stock heifers the
trade was only moderately active at
prices variouslv ranging from steady
to 1oc lower Bulls had fair call but
they sold 10 TO 15c down from yester-
day. a quarter lower than tac close OF
the week. All grades Of cows were bid
at low pricesand easily So to soc lower
that the high time. Neais. oxen, etc,
were in modest supply and they ruled
quiet and weaker in sympathy with all
other classes.
