South Omaha, Neb., March 21.-Ciay,
& Co, the commission men
here, advise as follows as to he N
.dition of the cattle market at this
place:
The run OF hay-fed cattle has been
very fair for this time of the year. Inc
demand has kept up well for all classes
of stockers and feeders, more especial
" che heavy neshy steers suitable Tor
feeding purposes. Prices have held
fully steady for most all classes during
the past week, and while there Is a
drop of about a dime today on killing
steers, all kinds of feeders are fully
steady.
Wyoming Cattle Sell Well.
Two cars of choice Herefords and
lShorthorns today from Wallace Bros,
of Parkman, Wyo., brought $4.65, aV-
~eraging 1854 lbs. A few head of cows
lin the shipment were good enough to
bring 81. The general butcher stock
market at his time is fully 10 to 10
Ieents higher than one week ago today,
although there was a decline of about
la dime on COWS an heifers today in
general. Indications favor a good in
quiry right along during the spring for
both feeders and stockers, and with a
favorable outlook for dressed beef, be
lieve the heavy and fatter end will al
so meet with good strong inquiry.
