WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
SOUTH ST. PAUL.

CATTLE-Thsre was another very light
run of cattle the past week and all the
good cattle In found a ready sale at prices
little stronger than were paid the pre-
vicus week. Most of the fat steer stuff
sold at $4.65Q485, and the bulk OF the fat
cows and heifers at $3.65Q4.
There was a strong demand for stock
steers weighing from 600 to 900 pounds and
the best quality cattle of this class sold
for $4G4.40, with the bulk bringing 81. 25JD
40.
We are not getting enough good cattle
at South st. Paul. Too many Scrubs -
Jerseys and Holsteins are being shipped
in. This class of stuff is always hard to
dispose of. and during the past week,
while good cattle were selling readily at
high prices, the common stuff was slow
sale and brought very low prices where
buyers could be found at all.
The demand FOR good little neifers con-
tinues very strong. Good stock bulls sold
readily and were in better demand than
for some time past. Most Of the good
color, smooth bulls, weighing from 500. to
500 pounds, sold at $3.25Q3.65, and some
choice animals brought as high as a.
We think that the stock cattle market
Is very high and is likely to suffer a Sc
we're decline in the near future, and ad-
wise shippers to be very conservative in
buying.

Paul is only 10 cents lower, and We believe
that your hogs will sell as we'll or better

We would respectfully call the attention
OF shippers to the fact that II will pay
you to be very particular in loading your
cars. Care should be taken that the cars
are well bedded with either sand OF Gin
ders. We would also caution you against
overlooking. During the past week many
of the shippers have not been paying as
close attention to this matter as they
should in warm weather and the result
has been that many hogs have been ar
irving dead in the cars. Take every pre-
caution possible in loading and shipping
and 1t will pay you we'll in the end
