s Weekly Market Letter.
&c CO.,

CATTLE-The sreceipts of fat cattle at
South st. Paul have been fairly llperal
the past week and the market has been
very good compared to Chicago. Yester-
day we sold three foads of 1,2s0-ib steers
at $3.50, and one load of 930-lb yearling
steers at $470. Oh Thursday We sold some
.2so-lb Iowa steers at $3.50. The owners
or these cattle were very well pleased
with the sale and think they gotta little
more OUT of their cattle than they would
have Melted them In Chicago. We think
Northern Iowa Shippers who have fat
cattle for sale, as well as Minnesota ship
pers will makes money by shipping to
South st. Paul.
The stocker and feeder market has been
very dull and slow,eand especially on the
fair and common. This class of stock has
sold lOc to 25c lower than last week, and
we anticipate further decline in this
grade of cattle. We look for a good de-
mand for stock cattle Of real good quail
ity.
