calling the market steady to a shade lower:
The highest price of the year was paid

will be seen from the sales below, there
were a good many cattle above 81. SO that
trading was not particularly active at any
time, still practically everything was dis
posed of in good season.
There was not very much change In the
grades were concerned. The same as was
the case with steers. buyers did not seem
to be overly anxious, but Sun they took

cases sold a little lower. The fact that

day. Packers were all anxious for supplies
and as a result they were out early, and,
while a few loads sold on the start at not
much better prices than were paid on yes
teroays close. still 1t was not long before
the market was generally a nickel higher.
II was the most active market that has
been experienced here in a long time and
everything was disposed of in good season.
AS the morning advanced the market
seemed to gain in strength, so that on the
close sales were. made that were easily
09T1sc higher than yesterdays general
