BUTCHER CATTLE-As far as values. arc
concerned. there is practically change from
Thursdays market, any class of killers.
However. the trade fully as slow. II not
more So. than any day this week. for buyers
were pretty we'll filled. and we're in no urgent
need OF supplies. though this was about offset
by the fact that the supply was not large.
In sympathy with the peef trade there has
been n sharp decline this week. Supplies have
been LIBERAL and there have been largo per-
centage of the offerings showing short feed.
This has had the effect OF fyrc.nS values
downward. At no time during the week has
there been tho least ACTIVITY slown Buyers
seemingly have awaited until tho middle por-
ton OF each day before doing business Of any
consequence. Consequently, with plenty of Of
ferings to pick from. there has been moth ng
to hinder a decline from taking effect. One no
ticea6le thing about the heller supply has
been that the majority CT them have been q
little too heavy. Weighing 500 lbs, and above.
and quite few of them being on the COW or
der. This has also worked against tho trade
considerably Compared with a week ago the
general trade OH COWS and heifers shows a
decline on fair to choice heifers and medium
to choice COWS OF 25G35c. Cutters show a. de-
cline of 25c. while Gamers are mainly l5c low
err though in spots they are as much as &c
OF. Verv little change has transpired on bulls
One thing must be rem@lnbered-that It takes
strictly fancy hcifers to- sell around $3.50
4 So Plenty OF good hcifers are selling on the
market at ss.6oGi. good as are wanted.
Sales OF butcher cattle during the week were
based on the following quotations:

LIVESTOCK MARKET.
Native Ran LIYht-Bcef Cattle Steady
Sheen Close Dull.

NATIVE cATrLE-Beef Stecrs-The supply
OF native cattle was light. but fully enough, II
not more. to rncet tho demand. Trade was slow
ns it could possibly be. and It took tho hard
est kind Of effort Oh tho part OF sellers to dis
pose of the few loads that were offered. Moth
In. c!loco WAS offered. Some sellers wnro
hardly satisfied with prices but generally tho
trade was about as good as Thursday.
This has been another week where tho bottom
has almost fallen out OF tho market. Supplies
have been liberal. and the bulk OF tho offerings
have been shcrt-fed medium to pretty good
grades. With many short-fed Cattle on sale
buyers have not been slow to take advantage
OF this. and upon them the greatest decline has
resulted. which amounts to 2blt35c. There liayo
been few str,ctly go0d to choice cattle avail
able. and they liavo declined but 1Oc TO l5c.
while the coimoner class Of killers have not
declined moro than loapl5c, as the demand for
them. instead OF Texas, still continues. Cattle
Weighing 1900 lbs. and upwards ;.ro very un-
satisfactory sellers. Quite share OF such
weights have been unsolI this week. Cattle
have to be strictly good to choice to bring s.
