The trade on beef and butcher cattle of all
grades had very strong tone during the first
half of the week, and prices at the close OF
Wednesdays trading were strong TO Htue
higher than at the close of the week previous.
During the past few days a rather easier tone
has been noted in the trade, and the strength
noted earlier in the week has been barely nam
tanned. The demand is strong for all useiW
killing grades. and taking into consideration
the weak and lower markets elsewhere the
trade here has been highly satisfactory to snip
pers. Quality is running poor. considerable
number of pretty good butcher cows are selling
landing at $3.25 to $500. Dry-fed beef steers
are a minus quantity yet, but are IN STRONG
demand and prices quotably the best OF the year:
