 Receipts were rather too heavy in view of the fact that several of the packing plants had not then resumed operations except Cn a limited scale. There was a good shipping demand for fat cattle which materially helped out the market. A larger supply of cattle is looked for this week, but all the packing houses will be in operation and a better demand is expected. or the increased receipts a large proportion will. it is expected, be stockers and feeders. of which the supply last week was small.
 Of the cattle received last week, nearly 14.0OO were butcher stuff. and the remainder stockers ard feeders. Good cattle sold rather evenly all week. fiuctuating not more than 10 cents. Medium steers fluctuated about % cents up and down and up again. Heavy cattle with good finish com ! manded the best prices. Top pric-s were better than the week previous, the ! quality also being higher. On Monday top was $4.95, Tuesday s5.05. Wednes- day $5.10. Thursday $5.OO Friday $5.1O The supply of stockers and feeders was about equal to the demand A better tleIpand is expected this week. as the | railroads, are now all in condition to | take out supplies.
 The supply of cattle on Friday was ! 5000 head, the largest for a single day since May. There was large propor- ! ton of beeves of rather medium quail | ty.
