REVIEWS MARKET LETTER.
Furnished by Clay Robinson Co, the
Well Known Omaha Firm.

South Omaha, March 23rd, 1907
The condition of the cattle trade the
first half OF the week was fairly salts
factory. Supplies were liberal, ard
while the trade was slow, prices, were
about steady Tops on Tuesday and
Wednesday were sold at $500, but
since then $3.50 has been high figure.
Thursdays supply OF $500 cattle was
too much for the trade to stand, and
prices went off 10 (0 l5c for all killing
stock, and in extreme cases even more.
The general quality continues rather
common, and the bulk is quotable at
$3.50 ca 50 80, few cattle being offered
good enough to bring over the SIS 90.
Well finished cattle would command
around $500 or little better. Good
to choice heifers are selling at LAO "a
81 SO; best COWS $500 ca 1925; good
cows 1896 @ 1890; fair SO 25i Caos3. sos
veal calves $500 $3.50. Bulls de-
clined 10 "a 15c, best kinds now selling
at $500 @ $40. Stockers and feed
ers, although in moderete supply,
went off Is % Zoe in sympathy with the
general lower trend OF values, best
kinds quotable at 81 60 @485.
Hogs have suffered in the heaviest
manner the past week, prices being
fully 3Oc lower than Monday. On a
steady basis today the bulk sold at

the danger he had escaped.

only ground Of his enmity was a.

MEL was right In 1t. But the son of the
green isle was unforgiving and malici-

on the other hand, forgot a matter of
