CAT'rLE-There was a fairly liberal run
OF cattle here today. but the demand on
the part or packers was in good shape, and
as result the market was active and not
far from steady all around The better
grades OF beef cattle sold readily at fully
steady prices and the less desirable kinds
also moved In fairly good shape at about
STEADY prices The warmed-up and half-fat
stun always sells more or less unevenly
ana today was no exception to the general
rule, but still sellers disposed Of their
holdings at very satisfactory prices.
The COW market started out in good shape
ana buyers were paying good, steady prices.
There were about thirty-hve cars on sale
and later on the market did not seem to
be quite as good. Sellers in some cases
claimed they had to take a little less money
than the same kind would have brought
yesterday, so the market could best be
quoted as steady to a little easier.
There was no change noticeable today In
the prices paid for bulls, calves. stays. etc.
They were in fairly good demand at about
yesterdays prices
There Were only a few stockers and
feeders on sale today and as yard traders
were looking for a few OF the better grades
the market on such kinds was active and
stronger. Good, heavyweight feeders that
are ready to go into the feed lot are good
sellers and command strong prices. Choice
stock cattle. however Of most any weight
are selling In good shape. but the common
kinds are neglected. The same is true of
stock cows and heifers. stock bulls and
calves. Representative sales:

SHEEP-There were only a Few cars OF
mand on the part OF packers was in good
shape the market came to an early close.
The prices paid looked just about steady
with yesterday. Lambs sold as high as
$3.50, and wethers brought SALE. and ewes
up the more desirable kinds show that
the demand is sufficient to take all that is
being offered at the present time
