the market. For the week the better grades
such as sell from $3.50 up may be quoted
just about steady. The common kinds,
far from a quarter lower than they were

packers can get enough of the western
grass steers to supply their trade at a lower
part-fat corn cattle.
The COW market did not show much
change today. Buyers took hold quite
good season. AS compared with a week
ago the COW market looks a little higher,
particularly on the good heavyweight cows
and heifers. Tn medium grades and can
ners, though, are also higher for the week.
Bulls, veal calves and stays did not show
enough change today to be worthy of mem
ton.
very quiet. Good cattle were extremely
scarce and the common to fair cattle were
hard to move at any price. The market
could be quoted dull and weak. As com
pare with the close OF last week all kinds
OF feeders are lower. The decline in most
cases would be covered by l5c, though some
statesmen put IL at l0q2Oc.
There we're not enough western beef
steers here today to tell much about the
market, but good stun would probably have
sold steady. For the week the msTSet is a

SHEEP-There was a liberal run OF sheep
and lambs here today, but the demand was
fully equal TO the occasion, and an active
and strong market was experienced on de-
sirable grades of killers The proportion
OF fat stun was larger than usual, and the
quality, II anything, a little better. Buyers
were out early, and 1t was not long before
the most OF the desirable grades were dis
posed OF. Western lambs sold as high as

ewes. g. 25. Those are the highest prices
paid for westerns In some little time. As
compared with yesterday, those sales looked
a little higher. The general run of the
offerings. though. could best be described
by calling them strong and active.
Thu feeder trade was far from being ac-
tive this morning. as there were but few
buyers on hand. The sales that were made
did not look much Of any lower and the
market could be quoted dull.
