Cattle-Another small supply OF cattle arrived
for the market to-day and although there was
not complete variety represented there were a
few OF most OF the different grades. The quail
ity and condition Of the offerings were probably
equal TO the standard represented for several
Gays. There were not many cattle IN their class
good enough to command extreme prices hut
this has been the case for some time The mar
ket opened with practically all regular buyers
In the helG and the demand from outside sources
developed more strength than Il has for several
DAYS There was also good local demand but
the competition between buyers was hardly as
strong as might have been expected. There was
enough, however. TO create rather an active trade
and sales In all departments indicated that prices
were steady TO strong compared with those rre-
vailing the past few days or course the cattle
that were the best in quality and fat showed
more strength than others. but there out
let for all kinds. In their present position prices
are more satisfactory than some time ago But
the additional strength is attributed largely 10
the small supplies and statesmen do not have
much nope In maintaining steady prices should
the receipts exceed the demand az anv time
There was a very fair request for the good stock
ers and feeders this morning. and they sold at a
very falr advance in prices over those prevailing
some time ago. Altogether the general markell
was In a healthy condition and will probably
continue satisfactory as long as the receipts are
