Tuesday, Sept. 10 OF the 264
loads OF cattle received $50 were
western rangers. Beef cattle were
in rather limited supply, the offer
as usual, being largely stock
ers and feeders and COWS. There
a vigorous inquiry from dressed
beef men for good killers at steady
to Il shade stronger prices, ana fair
to very good grass beevcs brought
from $4.25 to $3.50. The COW mar
ket was rather more active than IN
Monday and values, ii anything, a
trillc better on fair to good stock,
with sales largely from $50 to So
60. Good tlcshy feeders were in ac-
tive demand and sod at a shade
higher than yesterday. On the
medium and common stock there
was no Improvement. Prices we're
no lower than on Monday, but there
was the same difficulty in finding
buyers 1T any figure. An active de-
mand from slillcrs has relieved the
situation very materially. NclS
Norris took over Il thousand for slop
feeding. Common light weight stuff
is simply a drug ON the market, but
there was a better demand at
stronger prices for good to choice
light cattle and ycarlings. Some
Slack Hills cattle on sale, but quota
tiOns were not gwen out.

The market for COW stuff was not far
from steady. The supply ON sale
early was not very large, and with
Il good demand both from packers
and feeder buyers, prices ruled mr.
mrr. Later trains swelled the rr-
rripls considerably, and values
shaded off ON all but the desiraDI,
grades. In StOckcrS and feeders
trade was quite brisk. Good stoct
OF all Weights was il active demand
and a shade stronger, while TIL,
medium and the common stuff rulct
dull and unchanged. On gooc
