the rush to the buffet, and the unbridled

There has been fair percentage OF

for the killing stuff are generally

but few outside buyers on the market.

are generally $5,s and demand is limited

the market was advancing all week and
is now about even with the middle OF

Taken as a whole the news for the

With a further drop in sight sterling
to 4.S4S5, the lowest level since the

Wall Street bankers are of the opinion
that early gold imports are among the
possibilities, In fact tentative in
quiries were instituted abroad as to
available supplies of the yellow metal,
that no large amounts could be picked
up in the open market. The Bank Of
England has of late weeks been per
sistently accommodating gold and does
not favor competition from outside
bankers. Secretary Shaw, however, is
not likely to offer assistance at this
iuncture. London is not expecting gold
exports to this country. The reduction
in the. discount rate is an indication
would be placed in, the way of such q
movement. ..-..N . =. .,

The marketing of cattle this week
comprised killers very largely and the
of stockers and feeders has
been limited. The fat cattle trade has

upward tendency in values, trade ruled
active. For the week an advance of
25 and 80 cents is noted over last week.
Beeyes comprised the big share of the
ing uN sold largely at H s5@5.s5. The fair
to good kinds sold at $475@4.90, with
light inferior grades at $4@4.50. The
sale of note this week was made on a
load of choice quality Hereford steers
that averaged 1850 pounds and topped
the market at 1855, which was the
highest paid at this market SO far this
year. The sale demonstrated that
strictly good beeves will sell relatively
as high as at other markets and ship
pers could well afford to save shrink

while there is not much change yet, as
receipts become more liberal, packers

found leading in many things and hold
