fair, but not liberal for Wednesday mar
ket The different grades were not well
represented as usual at this time in the
week, and there was quite a scarcity of
strictly choice cattle in their class Buyers

some concessions in prices for practically
all kinds. Statesmen were, of course, re-
luctant in accepting lower prices. and at
the start there was not much change In
the market, compared with yesterday. In
fact, all strictly top cattle sold at steady
prices all day, and the best exporters were
considered strong. After the first round
common 10 medium and pretty good cattle
sold on lower basis, the decline generally
being considered 10c. A few cattle aver
aging around 200 lbs sold at $500 and full

with the same time last week. The re-
Celpts to-day were fully 1900 smaller than
IL week ago and about the same as year

show an increase of nearly LOCO over the

We're unusually large, showing an increase
of 1900 over a week ago and fully 1000 over
year ago. The arrivals included some
very good kinds in their class, but a large
number were not fat enough for butchers,
and not few were only ordinary stock
| ers. With the liberal receipts buyers were
naturally inclined to want to fill their or

most part on that basis; Common to

Horses-The receipts of horses continue

| The attendance of buyers was about the
same as at the initial sale of the week, and
| with untitled orders the trading fairly
active at quotably steady prices. Some deal
| ers claimed that values We're little lower,
