CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were light
this morning, as usual on q Friday, but
compared with the week before and with
the corresponding week of last year.
For a Friday the market on beef steers
was in very satisfactory condition. Local
packers all seemed to want a few cattle
and there was buying demand from the
outside so that the trade as a whole was
fairly active. AS to prices, the general run
of the cattle. was at least steady, with
the heavier cattle a little stronger. Most
everything in sight changed hands In fair
season in the morning.
Cows and heifers we're steady to strong
and the trade was more active than usual
on Friday. The demand was sufficiently
of the offerings.
There were no new developments in the
description have sold to- good advantage
all the week and the country demand has
been sufficiently large to keep the receipts
well cleared up,

with 2 melodramatic flourish Mr.. Bull
lard produced a wonderfully and wierd-
~ shaped key, and, without the least
hesitation. he walked ever to the bicycle
and unlocked the lock.
Walter leaned back in his chair ana
wiped the ciammy perspiraJion from his
feverished brow
Dish h5ah is a apprehension" he
gasped. and he tried 10 suggest that Mr..
Bullard had stolen the key from him.
But arguments and pleas were useless.
