CATTLE-Light receipts and a steady

today AS Is most always the case on tne
last day of the week, the market was not
active, still the cattle sold in reasonaply
good season.
Beef steers during the week have shown
n decline of 51l0c. Very choice light cattie
have shown the least loss and some would
say that the best are close to steady ana
at the most not over &c lower. on the
other hand heavy cattle are fully lOc lower
for the week and on some rough kinds 1t IS
safe to say that the decline would amount
to 15c. The demand has been good all me
week and it has been very evident that the
packers have wanted the cattle at the pre-
vailing prices. on some days there nave
been hardly enough cattle TO Ill all the
requirements of the market.
Cows and heifersl have been in active de-
mand and the market Is as high as ever.
The supply of that kind of cattle continues
