CATTLE-There was another light run OF
cattle here today and the market ruled
fairly active and not far from steady.
The demand for beef steers showing
quality was In good shape and on such
were not many good cattle offered, how
ever, and the less desirable grades were
ra ther hard to move and prices little
lower. Packers orders seemed to be rather
limited, so that they did not have to Ike
the common cattle and for that reason
sellers found 1t difficult TO move their
poorer grades.
The COW market ruled active today and
not far from steady with yesterday Some
ga les looked "a little weaker and some a
little stronger, but as n general thing the
II a good steady active market. Heifers
showing quality were also In good demand
at fully Yesterdays prices.
Big heavy bulls and the medium kinds
were In none too good demand today, but
the handyweights OF fair quality were
ready sellers at good steady prices. Stays
also brought Yesterdays quotations and
veal calves sold at good Arm prices.
There were so few feeders offered that
even though II is the last end OF the week
buyers bought up the better grades at
course. hard TO move, as buyers were not
anxious to carry that class of stock over
until next week and there Is not much
chance of finding buyers for very many
this week. The advance In beef cattle this
week has carried the warmed-up cattle to
point where they are worth more for
killers than for feeders, and, as a result,
not many OF them are being shipped back
to the country. Representative sales:

Dry Gonda Markets.

NEW YORK. March s.--There has been
business In regular print cloths today at
25sc and the market is now on that basis.
No change in heavy brown sheetngs or
drills, which continue quiet on both home
and export account. Bleached cottons are
in fair demand. No new movement in
prints, ginghams or coarse-colored goods.
Linens are quiet but higher
FALL. RIVER. Mass. March S-The
sales In the print cloth market during the
week amounted to n scant 10000 pieces. all
odds. No regulars were disposed of during
that time. This Is the poorest weeks bus
mess done in many months past, which
have been marked by poor business
throughout and makes II even more GER
tain that before long some step must be
taken by manufacturers to relieve the un-
promising condition OF the print cloth mar
ket As a result of the reduction made in
New York and Philadelphia In the price OF
printed finished goods, the cloth market
here during the week became demoraliged
and buyers refused to pay the figures asked
by mann Jfacturers for their production. The
drop I'm cotton was also a factor In the sit
uation. The stock on hand is increasing
weekly. II is stated that majority OF local
mill men would uphold the selling commit
tee II II should make another reduction In
the quotation In response to n large bid.
The market Is dull at Sc for regulars and on
that basis for odds
