CATTLE-There were a few cattle in the
yards this morning, but not enough 10
make a test Of the market. For the week
receipts show an increase over last week
and also over the corresponding week Of
last year. The increase for the year 10
date amounts TO over 10000 head and the
receipts so far this year are about $1,000
head, as against SIS coo head during the
entire year of 1901. From that IL will be
the receipts for this year Will be equal TO
the supply of all last year.
at this market At Chicago and some other
points receipts were quite liberal and as &
market was influenced 10 some extent and
caused the commoner and warmed up
grades to sell to poor advantage. The
would vary from 25c to SOC on the same
bunch Of cattle II is hard TO tell much
about the true condition Of the market;
up and half fat stun right close to soc
lower than two weeks ago. The best grades
week or ten days, but they have also been
selling rather u%nevenly.
The COW market ruled active and higher
the first Of the week, but owing TO liberal
receipts the market eased on the last Of
the week and closed l5Q25c lower than
week Friday. The demand. though. was in
pretty good shape most of the week and
desirable grades sold without much trouble;
Gamer were also in good demand and
some days there did not seem TO be enough

Good bulls and stays sold in Just about
last weeks notehes, but common KINDS
held Just about steady.
There has been a big run Of stockers and
from the country has been very disapopint-
ing the market has declined on all kinds.
The greatest break, though. has been on
the commoner grades. one reason Tor that
IS the fact that the quality has been below
the average, and a pile OF common 10
medium cattle are being carried over Sun
day. The market on such grades may be
quoted 25c lower for the week. The choicer
grades have not suffered quite thai much,
but still even those are 10dl5c lower. The
bulk Of the good feeders are now selling
from $40 10 $3.50 and IL takes something
