showed more life than has been mani
tested for some time. The market was
good for choice mixers, and they sold
readily at $6O0Ds5. Medium to good
grades formed the bulk of the offerings
and sales tor these closed more readily
than for some weeks previously. The
supply was the heaviest shipped for
any one week during the past five
years, and the quality averaged good,
the best mixers being unusually fin
well built cows. There were 700 mixers
and springers tied up in the barns. and
the better disposals seem to indicate
stronger market than has ruled OF late.
