small. The receipts of cattle for two days
indicate an increase of about 800 over the
same time last week. The receipts TODAY
were a little larger than a week ago. and
about twice as large as a year ago. The
market opened with a very fair inquiry for
female butcher cattle. and sales. especially
of the best grades. were at about steady
prices. but all kinds of steers were badly
neglected and a clearance could hardly
have been made except at reduced prices.
The continued hot weather has had its
effect upon the meat trade, which has re-
stricted the demand for live stock consid-
erably. Very little business was trans
acted in the steer line. Fancy heifers sold
as high as s4.S565. but 81. 10 was practically
the top, and other sales. including stock
ers. ranged from So to $3.50. A few fancy
COWS sold as high as $3.50. but $3.50 was
