The weeks trade on beer steers ope s,,itS
at nrices that were just about steady with
those OF last week. The run was only
moderate and the more desirable xmas
were not any too plentiful, which AIDED the
sellers in Keeping prices up. But the puy,
eTs were inclined to be rather bearish all
during the week and at all times tried 10
force the market down. But as the run
of beef steers was only moderate ana ser
ers were not disposed to make any con-
cessions they were not very successlul.
an tuesday and Wednesday the market
was inclined to be little wea Seys any az fSe
week recovered its tone and the week closed
with prices on beef steers practically
steady with those OF last week ei,,o Mo-
Cows and heifers sold on little on Mon
dav for the reason that the receipts az
the other market points We're large anu
the prices lower. The run mere the nIst
day of the week was not large out the
b,,yers were very bearish and the decline
nj the other market points alded then IN
Forcing the market, so that II closed ABOUT
ntber decline of about l0c, but after that
the market firmed up little and at the
close Of the week II is lO4loc lower imam

that taking the average conaiuoh OF. th re
COWS into consideration on the market 1t
is not much lower than II was a week ago
A very considerable proportion OF the
cattle coming forward this week mas con

were a little better than those paid yester
