The market on beef steers opened early
and active and the offerings Of all de-

cattle were at least lOc higher, the best
kinds being safely SOC higher than at the
close of last week. A bunch OF heavy
cattle sold up to $3.50, the highest price
paid so far this season. 1t will be noted
that the market is rapidly approaching the
highest point on record at this market,
which was &.15 for beef steers. While
choice cattle were selling higher today, the
common TO medium kinds were at least
steady and in some cases possibly a little
better. The spread between choice cattle
and common to medium cattle Is widening
very p~erceptbly and that fact naturally
makes the common to medium kinds look
stationary.

Good dry-lot stuff was strong TO a little
higher, but the grassers, especially those
on the common order, were slow, the feel

There was a small sprinkling OF stockers

steady with yesterday, but the market yes
terday was l5qSc lower. Pretty good
kinds of S0-pound cattle sold up to A.s5
today. While the best feeders have not
shown very much change, light stockers
especially those on the common order, are
decidedly lower than they we're last week.
