sirable grades.
There were quite a few beef steers here
today, but, the same as has been the case
for some time past, the quality of the
offerings was not particularly choice.

many cases, the same as noted yesterday,
sales were made that looked 5910c higher,
but other sales did not look any more than

choiced punches and It was on such kinds
There was also a very active demand

Buyers took about everything they came
to that was at all desirable and sellers

continued moderate and the market on
such kinds could not be quoted much more
than steady. II, was not a hard matter,
however, to sell out at fully as good
prices as were paid yesterday.
Bulls of good quality that were fat COM

were neglected. Veal calves and stays
also sold at good, strong prices.

and stronger on the better grades. There
have not been too many stock cattle offered
this week to meet the demand, so that
prices have held up in good shape. Com
