Beef Cattle Quiet-Native Receipts

NATIVE CATTLE-Becf Of
cattle in the native fvision were Gerry light.
there being a very small representation OF beef
steers. none OF which were above an average.
Trade was quiet and steady. Strictly choice Of
ferings were very scarce during tho week and
good kinds not plentiful. the bulk running to
medium and half-fat offerings. Trade has ruled
very slow all week and by the majority OF deal
es was considered around a quarter lower than
a week ago. with some calling the decline more
and others less. with most OF tho loss on the
better grades and less on the good qualified UNI
finished steers. on which there was competition
by feeder buyers. Some thought that there was
practically no loss on these kinds. but anything
lacking in flesh and of poor quality sold slowly.
Receipts at the Western markets have been
heavy this week, which naturally resulted in de-
clines. and. although clearances have been a lit
clined to advise conservative marketing for the
