Weekly Market Letter.

CATTLE-The receipts of good butcher
cattle at South st. Paul the past week
have been light and not near enough
coming to supply the demand. Our prices
compared with other markets have been
very good and our market is second to
none.
The market on stockers and feeders has
declined Is to 80 cents the past week. es-
pecially on the fair and common grades.
The very best stockerS and feeders have
declined Is to 20 cents. The bulk of the
receipts this week have been of ordinary
quality, and not many cattle of real good
quality have been sale. We look for
a lower market the coming week on the
fair and ordinary grades of stockers and
feeders, and respectfully suggest that
shippers handle this class of cattle on
very wide margin.
Coed fat bulls are selling steady, also
feeding bulls of good quality, but the
fair and common ones are 10 to Is cents

good, are selling at last weeks prices.
