Chicago, July There is practic-
ally no new development in the tone
OF the market demand being narrow
for all commercial classes at station
airy prices. 1t is the national holiday
week, when outside buyers generally
are away on their summer vacations
and general trade is nominally at a
standstill. Commission dealers have
taken advantage of the situation and
are holding back country consign-
ments and suspending the regular daily
auctions and conducting the limited
trade wholly on retail basis Owing.
to the prolongation of the local team

harrow, except for saddle and harness
offerings, which is of normal proper
