cars being I'm sight when the market
opened. The quality. on an average, was
not very good, the bulk of the receipts be-
ing on the common to medium order No
very important change was noted in the
days trade, conditions being about the
same as yesterday
Beef steers of desirable quality were in
fair demand, but the quality was not very
entlGng and packers requirements not
sufficiently urgent to put any great amount
OF life into the trade. Still there was
SUFFICIENT demand to effect a reasona bly,
early clearance, but prices remained in
about the same notches as yesterday. There
were a couple of loads of cattle here good
enough to bring $3.50. but the most of those
on sale were the kind that are selling at
or below $500 1t might be added that the
prices paid today are a little stronger than
last week; that is yesterday and the day
before cattle values took on a little more
strength, making the market somewhat bet
ter for the week.
Cows and hefers were i'm extremely light
supply, the offerings being limited to six
eight cars. Some OF the better grades
looked a little strong, but the market. as a
whole was without any important change.
In fact, there were really not enough cows
on sale TO make very much of a test Of
the market AS is the case with beef
steers, cows are a little stronger than at
the close of last week.
There were no stockers or feeders of any
consequence I'm the yards. but II Is safe to
say that there were many as there was
a demand for. Shippers will understa nd
that the season is so far advanced that
very few feeders are wanted and as noted
yesterday the market is decidedly lower
than a week or ten days ago
