about the same as IL has been OF late. The
market was active from start to finish and
the prices paid were a little stronger. In
tie higher prices for the kinds that just
suited buyers, but the general market could
best be described by calling II active and
strong. Owing to the activity practically
all of the early arrivals were disposed OF
by the middle of the forenoon.

strong. Receipts were not very heavy, so
Il only took a comparatively short time for
everything to change hands. The medium

prove the most today. but 1t should be re-

that suffered last week.
Bulls veal calves and stays all continued
in liberal demand at steady to strong

There were not very many stockers and
feeders in the yards this morning and as a
result anything at all desirable sold with

common kinds, and especially common
