CATTLE-Receipts this morning were
quite liberal, but the demand was in fairly
good shape and the market did not show
very much change so far as sood stuff was
concerned. There were quIte a few good
steers on sale mat packers bought up In
good season at practically steady prices.
The kinds that are selling from $40 to A.SO
did not move any too readily today and
sellers were calling that kind of cattle a
little 'ower than yesterday. They had to
take off "A nickel In most cases and occa-
sionally dime The liberal supply gave
buyers an opportunity to discriminate
against the common and half-fat stun,
which made II more difficult to sell that
class of cattle at steady prices.
The COW market was in very satisfactory
condition today and anything at all desir-
able sold readily at Just about yesterday =
prices. The choicer grades were of course
in the greatest demand, but even the
medium Kinds brought right around steady
prices and the same was true of Gamers.
Bulls. calves and stays also sold in yes
terday's notches.
The same as has been the case for some
little time there We're only few feeders
on sale, for which there was good de-
mand. A choice load of feeders would
bring good, strong prices and sellers hav-
ing cattle answering to that description
had no trouble to dispose of them. The
common kinds sold today just about where
they have been for some little time past.
What applies to feeder steers may be ap-
plied equally well to she stuff and to stock
bulls Representative sales:

lowered their bids TO $500 and s522i4, as
some late trains arrived that make the

was done Later on the provision market
