SOUTH ST. PAUL.
Weekly Market Letter.

CATTLE-The receipts of cattle the
past week have been very light. Good
strong prices have been paid, and we an
ticipate a good strong market the COM
ing week on fat cattle. Fair and half
fat grass cows are not selling very well,
and we do not look for very strong
market on this class of cattle the coming
week. However, we consider our prices
on this class fully as good as any other
market
The receipts of stockers and feeders
have been fairly liberal, but the quality,
as rule, was common. All the good
quality sold about at last weeks prices
but the fair and common ones are 15@
25c lower. 1t is our opinion that we will
see lower prices the next few weeks on
stock cattle. This is usually the case
every year at about this time
Stock bulls are 2O@25c lower than a
week or ten days ago. Real good fat
bulls are selling at about steady prices
Mixers and springers of fair and ordi-
nary quality are selling very slow and
SOLO per head lower than two weeks
ago. Very few real good choice mixers
and springers are coming.
