LIS. Feb ls.-Cattle-Receipts small: ship
ments none There were not very many
fresh arrivals of cattle and the market
was necessarily quiet. but sales did not
show great deal OF change compared with
the way equal kinds sold at the close OF
last week. Reports from other places this
morning were by no means encouraging.
and Of course there was naturally weak
er feeling here in harmony with this IL
quite often happens. however. that liberal
receipts at the beginning of the week are
followed by lessened supplies later. and
this may have a tendency TO hold values
on a basis OF those current last week.
Dealers. however. intimated that there II
nothing to indicate better market than
last week Quotations:
