so,-cattle-Receipts. 1.aOO; shipments. 200. The
receipts to-day were over 600 smaller than a week
and nearly zoo smaller than year ago.
The market opened with practically all buyers
IN the field and there was a fair demand for the
thick fat stock Buyers however, moved eau
tiously, and IL was evidently their intention to
avoid any appearance of urgency and thereby
prevent any competition. Therefore. statesmen
did not find 1t easy to transfer even their best
consignments. but they succeeded In getting at
least steady prices for that class Cattle that
were between feeders and fat stock did not find
many friends and difficult. to sell at barely
steady prices, while all common to medium
grades and grass-fed cattle were exceedingly
Low sellers, and most statesmen quoted the mar
ket lower for such kinds. There was practically
no country demand for feeding cattle. therefore
professional buyers were asking concessions in
prices and there was not a great deal Of bust
ness transacted in this line. 1t is evident that
all dealers are little puzzled the situation
and the probable developments in the near future
II appears. however. that traders are in
ciined to believe that the thick fat cattle of
prime quality and not too heav will continue
TO sell at comparatively stead rices so long
as there is no considerable Incl .ase in the sup
ply. Everybody is expecting t.Io usual supply of
grass cattle, and there will proc ably be a great
discrimination against that class in the future
