Reporting on the mule market the Live
Stock Reporter saws:
THE mule market Of the week has con
tanned no new features and has worried
along in much the same position as the
two weeks before. There still exists that
small volume of demand from the South,
which has been characteristic Of the
market Size the virtual opening of the
Southern season in September, which
rules with slight promise OF there being
any improvement until after the holt
days True some few more carloads than
last week were bought and dispatched to
southern points, but the Dimensions of
trnde are stlll Of restricted nature, and
there has been not enough activity to
cause prices to react from the much
lower basis which they have gradually
assumed from week 10 week. The trade
as concerns prices has been very little
changed; perhaps II has been a little
frmcr by reason Of the limited supplies.
some conslgnments We're also bought TO
go 10 the East, but the total did not ex-
coed half dozen. The movement in the
commission department has been a little
more active than the week before, espe-
cially on the prime fat cotton mules"
