AIlLE-1he run OF cattle this morning
was mss OF no consequence whatever and there
was pructlcaIly no quotable changes in the
prices today from those of yesterday Ths
receipts or cattle for the week were as
head. which is the smallest run for any
week since the first week in Septemher at,2
the run for the week is also Smaller tina
that Tor the same week one year ago bv
the offering this week has NOT been YER
good, great deal of the stun being on
the inferior order OF stock. The receipts
have been small this week and II Is nr5h
able that now that the range season ia
practically over there will not be very
much change from this week in the size
or the run FOR some time, probab bly, NOT
until about the holidays, when the TAI
cattle commence coming In.
There has not been much choice cornfed
stock In this week, the most Of the stun
being on the warmed up and short fed
order and the fore part Of the week there
was not much good stun on the market
Monday and Tuesday, but later the small
run coupled with the Improvement in
quality, caused the market TO firm up, so
that the week closed with beef steers
practically steady with last weeks prices.
Cows and heifers also experienced quite
a slump on Monday and Tuesday. owing
TO the Oversupply and inferior quality OF
the stun received. but there was 2 slight
Improvement noticeable on Wednesday, the
quality Of the stock arriving was OF a bet
ter order and there was an increased de-
mRnd from both packers and outside buy
ers. so that the week on cows and heIfeTs
closed steady with last week.
The trade on feeders and stockers opened
with a slow market and lower prices but
the quality improved and the demand be-
came good for light handy feeders, with
the result that the weeks trade on feeders
closed with an advance OF lOdfl5c on good
choice stuff.
