CATTDE-There were a few cattle in the
yards this morning, but scarcely enough to
make a test of the market. For the week
supplies rave been fairly liberal. but still
there is a decrease as compared with last
week. When comparisons are made with
the same week of last year, however, 1t
will be seen that there is a good substan-
tial increase. The table above will show the
exact figures. n
The beef steer market has been in very
satisfactory condition all the week. Pack
ers nave apparently had liberal orders, so
that each days receipts have been dis
posed of in good season. AS compared
with the close, of last week, It is safe TO
quote the market strong to a dime higher.
All grades have sold to better advantage
this week than last and shippers have been
better satisfied with the prices they received
than for some little time past. The bulk
Of the fair to good cattle have sold from
$4l5 to $3.50. Good to choice $3.50 to $500
and strictly prime cattle may be quoted
The COW market has also been in pretty
good shape all the week. There has beer
some unevenness to the trade, so that some
others, but as a general thing cutters and
the better grades of beef cows are about
steady for the week. Gamers have been
somewhat neglected and are, perhaps, a
been in strong demand and the prices paid
show an advance for the week amounting
to 15q2Oc. Gamers have sold from $L75 to
and choice grades from $3.50 to A.25.
Bulls have sold to better advantage this
week than last, and are, II anything, a
little higher. Veal calves, are selling In just
about the same notches they have for some
time past.
The supply of stockers and feeders has
been moderate, and as there was quite a
