few decent cattle which brought Si.Oo, St.l5,
81 20 and S4.45. the market was fairly
active and the buyers soon cleared the
yards, the prices paid being strong as com
pared with yesterday.
Butchers stock was in very limited sup
ply, there being only about five or six loads
OF cows and heifers in the yards. Every
thing sold early and at strong prices. one
little bunch Of heifers sold up to $500.
The market on stocliers and feeders was
slow and n little easier, but still everything
in first hands sold before the close. The
cause of the weakness was apparently, due
TO the fact of its being near the close OF the
week and also to the soft Weather which
keeps the pens in bad condition and makes
the cattle look at their worst. Representa-
tive sales:

pounding the market. They started out bidding
