NOTES ON THE
STOCK MARKET
Status of the Trade Given By
the DrOver-.-StOck-
mar

The fat cattle market was steady
to a shade easier. Cow stuff ruled full
~ steady and there was little change
in stockers and feeders. Hogs sold
$40 to $7.35, the bulk at 1920 %
7.25. Sheep ruled steadier to a shade
easier.
The general beef steers market was
not a great deal different from the
last few days previous. There was
an active inquiry for the desirable
light and handy weight beeves. and
prices were just about steady to any
thing of this kind. When it came
to the good heavy grades the trade
was dull and unsatisfactory most of
the statesmen quoting values weak to
a shade lower, fully a dime lower
than the close of last week. Very
good 1850 to 1,500-fb beeves sold
around $4.65 q 4.85, with the fair
to pretty good 1850 to 1,35O-fb beeyes
at $40 O 40.
There was a liberal run of sheep
with only small proportions of the
receipts consisting of choice sheep
and very few lambs of m kind. The
result vas that the best sheep, as vel
as choice lambs, sold at prices not
much different from steady, in fact
desirable killers were generally
quoted as steady. On the other hanC
the common to medium kinds were
generally 10c lower.
The following are the days quota.
tions: Good to choice Mexican yearl
