Weekly Market Letter.
South St. Paul. July Is

South st. Paul, July Is, 1899
CATTLE-The receipts of cattle this
week were a little larger than week
ago, and especially so on stockers ana
feeders. The supply of good butcher cat
tie, however, has been light and the de-
mand continues very good and strong Tor
the best cattle. The market on half lat
grass cattle is a little lower than last
week. We look for a good strong mar
ket on butcher cattle the coming week.
The market on stockers and feeders has
been rather dragging and not many buy
ers here owing to the fact that most
everyone is busy with their crops. We
look for a quiet market the coming week
on stockers and feeders and especially
so on the common ones, which are very
slow sale. We would advise shippers to
hold their stockers and feeders until after
harvest, except where they have real
choice cattle.
We quote: Good to choice dry-fed beef
steers, $4.75 to $685. fair to good, $4.2O to
$3.50; good to choice dry-fed beef cows
