how many persons noticed and com
mented on the changed location OF

sternation when they missed the fa.

Is also in custody in this city Gold
pieces such as Frehr'5 is supposed to

ever Western fed steers closed the
week 10 to l5 cents to the good, and
ranged from SO to $40. The stun, on
the other hand, came In for few
knocks from buyers, and lost 10 TO 20
cents. Most sales ranged from 81 to
$2.65. Gamers lost most. Stockers
and feeders had a fair week, with free
movement. but with little change In
prices. Spectators held over very
few cattle. Prices ranged from $3.50
to $40. Stock calves were plentiful,
and had little urgent demand. Cattle
receipts today are relatively small, 1t
10000 head, and buyers were early In
