evidence of Armour support, and there has
been a good deal of covering. The May

port this morning that all the flour mills
at Minneapolis were closed on account of

CA1ILE-There was a very large run of
cattle here this morning for a Friday, so
tnat the supply Tor the week is much
heav.e: than for last week or for the same
week OF last year. Owing TO the liberal
re ceipts packers were very bearish and the
market was slow from start to finish, with
the tendency of prices
Beer buyers did not a hold with much
life this morning and in fact II did not seem
to make much difference to them whether
they got any cattle or not. There have
been so man steers on the market this
" eek that packers are pretty well filled up
and consequently they did not have to
hustle for supplies today. Their bids were
generally a dime lower than yesterday, al
though some of the kinds that suited buy-
ers the best were not a great deal lower
than yesterday. The ma rket was very slow
from start to finish and II was late before
a clearance was made.
The COW market was also rather slow and
weak. The very best handy weight cows
and theifers did not suffer to any great eX-
tent, but others were slow and 5q1Oc lower.
Sellers did not like the idea of taking of
again today, 80 they held on for some time
and the, day was we'll dvanced before a
clearance was made.
Bulls were slow and a shade lower today
as a result OF the weaker feeling on steers
and COWS. eNal calves, though, did not
show much change.
There were comparatively few stockers
and feeders in the yards this morning and
rot many were wanted, as the end of the
week is too near at hand for much to be
doing In the feeder division. Anything
strictly choice did not show much change,
but the general market was slow and weak.

oats for a time attracted more attention

were compelled to bid prices up In order to
get any. This started shorts to covering

SHEEP-There was not a very large run
OF sheep and lambs here this morning, but
the market was rather slow and weak, as
the demand was not very brisk, and be-
sides that, the reports from other points
have been unfavorable TO the selling inter-
ests all the week. The break in prices
this week has been the most disastrous
and far reaching of the season, as all kinds
have been affected, the good kinds as well
as the common stun. There was very
little good stun here today with which to
make a test of the market, but some lambs
Of fairly good quality sold at 1915. The
situation could best be described by calling
the market slow and weak.
There were not very many feeders on
sale today, but II Is safe to say that the
price of feeders has been following the
downward course of fat stun.
