as follows, each buyer purchasing the num-
Der of head Indicated:


CATTLE-There was a moderate run of
cattle in the yards this morning for even
a Friday. AS 1t apt to be the case toward
the end of the week the demand was not
quite as brisk, but still the prices paid
today for desirable grades were not much
different from those in force yesterday. j.
The beef steer market could be quoted
a little slow but about steady. Handy
weight cattle of fair to good quality sold
without much difficulty at steady prices.
Heavy cattle. however, were rather neg
lected, and sellers found 1t a difficult propo-
sition to get what they considered steady
prices for that class. The demand on the
part of packers did not seem to be very
heavy today, so that the market was rather
lacking in snap. Practically everything
was disposed of in good season.
The cow market was also about STEADY.
There was not the activity to. the trade,
though, that characterized the market
earlier in the week, and in some cases
statesmen thought they did not get quite
as much for their cows as they ought to
have. As a general thing. though, the
prices paid looked Just about as good as
those of yesterday.
Th hull market was just about steady
TODAY and veal calves also commanded as
GOOD prices as were paid yesterday.
TVhere were scarcely enough stockers and
teeders in the yards to make a market, ana
as specuiators sold out practically all the
csttie they had on hand yesterday. they
we're willing to pay about steady prices
Tor desirable grades today. Anything that
Ala moi suit them. of course. had TO sell
fSahnde lower. Representative sales:

ness was for local account. The only bear
factor OF note was the increased shipments
from Argentine, but this was easily over
balanced by the unfavorable weather, firm
markets in the west and a fair export de-
mand, together with the extremely bllllsh
