eddy strong, and there has been no further
pressure similar to that of yesterday. The
outside markets were all higher, particu-
larly the northwest markets. There were
continued crop complaints from the south

CATTLE-There was a liberal run OF
cattle here today and in fact receipts were
considerably ahead of expectations. Local
packers, though, took hold in good shape
In spite of the big run all the week, Sc
that prices did not suffer to any extent.
The beef steer market could be quoted
steady to a shade lower. There was quite
| little unevenness to the trade and IL was
very evident that packers were not veIy
anxious for supplies today, as the big run
all the week has filled them up In GOOD
shape As a general thing the medium and
handy weight cattle sold at about steady
prices, but the heavy cattle were slow
-ale, and, II anything, a shade easier.
Traders have noticed for several weeks that
packers nave been inclined to be Uearisn o.
the heavy cattle every Friday. -l
The COW market showed very little change
from yesterday. The big bulk of the offer
ings consisted of beef steers, so the supply
of cows and heifers was not excessive
The better grades in particular sold freely
at steady prices, and If there was any
change at all II was a weaker feeling
on the medium grades. The tendency all
the week has been to buy the medium
grades lower.
BULLS held Just about steady and veal
calves sold in yesterdays notches, but they
are lower than they were a week ago.
There were very few stockers and feed.
mrs on sale and the demand was very
limited. as is generally the case on a Fri
day. The few cattle that did arrive IL
most cases had to sell a little lower. Rep
NAaenfat tive sales.
