the same as last week Eastern points continue
to report lower prices on butcher stuff, but there

not begin to meet the demand. In so far as

on the killing order, and only very light pei
centage were stockers. The stocker market ha
been fairly satisfactory and the demand ha

been nothing of a choice nature on sale thi
week, and the best of the stockers and feeder
have sold from $3.50 to $3.95, with the fai
