spending week last year.
Cattle receipts at this point, while
not equal to the total Of the preced-
ing week, were liberal, and the supply
was more evenly distributed, which ev-
eryone interested in livestock markets
is interested in encouraging. The runs
the first two days were heaviest, but

The killing cattle market was largely
the same as it was last week, the avail
able supply consisting. almost entirely
Of cows, the quality Of which was onlv
common to fair. Beef steers have been
very scarce, while demand for that kin
has been very strong. Prices, in sym
pathy with eastern declines, broke the
first day, best stuff being quoted a dime
lower, but on strength gained later
when receipts were lighter, the loss was
recovered, and the week closes steady
with the close Of last week. Good grass
steers are quoted 1878 to 1928, and
good cows 1915 to 1926, but there was
| little selling within those figures, ow-
ing to common quality. The bulk of
the cows have been cutters and can

Stockers and feeders were in good
demand thruout the week, and in spite
of heavy receipts of medium quality
stuff prices were fully steady at all
times. Demand remained strong for the
good to choice heavy feeders, weighing
l,lOO to 1900 pounds, but there was a
marked scarcity of that kind as there
was of beef steers. There were some OF
that kind, selling from $3.50 to $500

fall season opened, and quality was
mostly medium. The yards were
crowded the first two days, but the out

The tendency Of the market is towards
a lower level It had been predictet
that within short time the marke
