CATTLE-There was a very fair run OF
cattle this morning, but of the number
reported IN some twenty cars were direct to
paeKers and not offered for sale.
Beet steers We're slow and dull packers
evidently feeling that they were entitled TO
aaslittle concession with the result that
they were generally bidding lower. While
the ofterinBs were not very large II took
some little time for buyers and sellers 10
get together, but the cattle we're finally
sold at prices anywhere from steady to a
little lower.
Cows and heifers were In fair demand
and the market on the desirable kinds at
least steady with yesterday. While the
trade was not exactly what might be called
active there was enough movement to eff
feet clearance of the most OF the cattle
in reasonable season
There was nothing new in the stocker
and feeder trade. The demand as has
been the case all along was, fair and prices
generally about steady.
