WEEKLY maRKETLETTER.

CATTLE-The receipts of cattle al
South ST Paul the past week have been
fairly liberal. The bulk OF the receipts,
however, have been of an inferior quail
ity and all grades of common cattle
have been dull and slow of sale. All
real good cattle sold readily and at
steady prices and especially so with good
beef cattle. There are not near enough
good cattle coming to supply the de-
mand, and shippers will find that they
can obtain almost Chicago prices for
the best grades of butcher cattle We
desire to again caution the trade ON the
condition the market on the fair and
common grades of cattle as there Is a
big spread in the price between the fair
grades and the good cattle. We con-
slider II 10 the advantage of everybody
interested in the live stock business to
encourage the breeding of better cattle.

HOGS-The hog market for the week
has been active and prices have been
well sustained, and the bulk of good,

general has been quite fair. We do not
anticipate any higher prices to speak of
for the coming week owing to the pres
ent condition of the provision market.
