Live Stock Commission Merchants,
SOUTH ST. PAUL.
Weekly Market Letter.

CATTI E-The supply Of cattle at
South st. Paul the past week has been
quite moderate, especially on good beef
cattle, the demand being far in excess
of the supply, and the market, we con-
slider, is very good compared to other
markets, and we think shippers tribu-
tary to st. Paul can realize more money
cut of their beef in South st. Paul than
in any other market
The receipts OF stockerS and feeders,
of real good quality. have been light and
the demand good There have been quite
few of the fair and common stockers
and feeders on sale which have sold very
slow and 10 to zoe lower than week
ago. We respectfully desire to caution
shippers that there Is big range in
prices between the good and the fair
and common grades of stock cattle.
The common stockers are going to sell
lower.

HOGS-Hog receipts the past week
have been fairly liberal and prices on
Wednesday and Thursday declined 10 to
2ec, owing to. the liberal supply of hogs

advance of to TIC in the hog market,
