South st. Paul, Dec. 7.

CATTLE Receipts have been unusual
ly light this week. There has been a
decided improvement in the stock cat
tie division. While individual sales of
the better quality stockers and feeders
have not been much higher, the average
is fully % cents above last week, with
many orders untitled even at the adj
vance. Owing to the light run and the
good demand we have been enabled to
move the common and tail-end cattle
along with the good. We believe that
there will be good demand for the good
quality cattle from now on at the pre-
vailing prices. This is due to the fact
that it has been found that feed condi-
tons are not as bad as has been sup
posed. The common cattle will con-
tinue to drag as they have in the past
and will be very hard to sell at any price
if we have heavy receipts. Good cattl5
will yield profit, but our advice to ship
pers is to let the common stuff alone.
Killing cattle of all kinds are in good
demand and selling fully steady. We
have had some good butcher stuff in
