Hide and Fur Market.
Stockers ard Feeders.

When the market for stockers and
feeders opened last week prospects
We're brighter. There was an advance
in the trade the previous week OF 10
to Is cents on about all Of the desir-
able qualities and when last week
started local buyers were quick and
active traders. During the first half
of the week the demand was very sat.
isfactory on both sides Of the fence.
and the market sailed along under
good wind. After Wednesday sellers
OF fresh cattle did not like the COM
plexion Of the trade so well. They
met hesitating disposition on the
part of the local spectators and bids
were generally weaker. The condition
prevailed to the end Of the week and
those who had stock cattle to sell de-
clared that the market for the week
declined 10 to Is cents. Some of the
spectators would not admit this how
ever, and claimed that they bought
cattle at the close of last week as high
as at the close of the previous week.
AS a matter of fact the demand for
cattle from the country was not as
good as usual and this accounted for
the slump last week, though To-
cal traders really have fewer cattle on
hand than they had on the finish OF
the week before. The eastern inquiry
for feeders is not as broad nor reli-
able as it was, though several buyers
were her last week who seemed quite
willing to pay a good strong price
for the right kind of cattle. few
were sold up to s400@4.15. but there
we're comparatively few above 1915.
Most of the feeding steers went at
s3.4o@3.65, while quite a long string
sold at s2.75@s.00 and the common at
S2.40m260 and inferior down to 81.
