strength being shown by cows and heat

same as last January this month, but the
tendency seems toward smaller runs for

that there should be phenomenal de-

&c, 900 head, which is several thousand
short of corresponding week last year.
and the supplies for January will show
a shrinkage of more than 2O% from jan
uary last year. With no prospect Of any
increase In receipts. the market should
