CATTLE-There were not as many cattle
here today as arrived a week ago. but more
than a year ago. Tn demand was In good
shape on the part of local buyers. so the
market ruled active and strong from start
10 inish, everything being sold at an early
hour.
The beef steer market in particular was
active and str ong, and anything at all de-
sirable was safety 5ulUc higher than at
the close of last week. Handy weights sold
TO the best advantage. but still even the
heavy cattle of good quality were higher
:han they we're last Friday. The quality
of the offerings today as a whole was very
good, and as high as S5.05 was paid, which
4, the top price for some time past.
There was also an active demand Tor
cows and heifers and the prices paid looked
a little stronger than those In force last
week. There were not very many on sale,
so that trading was brisk, as all the buy
ors seemed to have liberal orders and an
early clearance was made. Gamers, how
ever and the commoner kinds of cutters,
did not show much of any change from
last week.
The better grades of bulls sold freely
this morning at good. strong prices, with
calves also sold 20 good advantage and
we're fully steady.
There were comparatively few stockers
and feeders In the yards, and In fact there
were scarcely enough good cattle to tell
much about the market. IT was evident.
though, from Inc way =. eculators acted
that they were willing TO Ey fully steady
prices for desirable grades, and while the
commoner kinds were not exactly active,
still they held fully steady with last weeks
decline. Representative sales:

OF sheep and lambs here this morning for
this time of the year. and while there
were a few punches of good stun the bulk
was again of inferior quality. The de-

highest price of the season, Western lambs
with the wool on sold as high as $7.95, and
clipped wethers brought $3.50. When II
came to the common kinds the market was
slow and weak and some sales looked quite
a little lower than the same kinds sold
for at the close OF last week. Packers
claim that these common kinds do not kill

are pounding the market on Them I'm bad
