There was a very good demand for fat

The lamb market on both killers and
teeuers was not to the liking OF the sellers.
me Chicago Drovers' Journal Of Saturday
quoted the market at that point on range
lambs as +0d50c lower for the week. At the
same time the prediction was made that
the market this week would be still lower.
IN regard to prices, the same paper quoted
strictly good killers at ss,o0 and fairly de-
cent offerings at N.76d6.90. With reports
IKE that from Chicago staring buyers in the
race, IN addition to their own reports, which
indicated that buyers bought very good
range lambs at the close last week at Cht-
cago at $50, It was not surprising that
buyers at this point were decidedly bear
ish in their view. AS a result the market
on fat lambs was a little slow right from
the outset, with prices generally all OF log
l5c lower than last week.
There were plenty OF buyers in the yards
looking for feeder lambs, but the fact that
killers were lower naturally weakened
them, so that they. too, sold q little lower
than last week. Still, there was a good
demand and the market throughout was In
a good, healthy condition. Several big
punches of lambs sold promptly upon the
opening of the market. so that the big
bulk changed hands in pretty decent sea-
son, all things considered.

ITS funny, said a hotel clerk, what
little vanities some people are caught in.
Take the signing of a hotel register for
instance. Now. here's a nam who Genes
from a little town over here in a NEARBY
state and he signs up from New York. 1t
looks big, you know, to put New York
or Chicago after your name. but after all
Il seems rather foolish. as the only CHARGE
these people have for distinction is to come
from some town where nobody else ever
travels. But they seem to prefer the big
towns as a part OF their signature.
"A lot OF these false addresses are given
by travelling men. who very naturally give
the town In which their house is located
rather than the town in which they live.
Others, however, have TO such good sx-

This naturally made buyers very cautious
and the morning was very well advance
before the cattle were ready 10 go on saie
and before buyers were ready TO DO pusi-
ness. "
AS will be readily understood from the
above. the trade on beef steers was SLOW
and the tendency lower throughout the
day. Some cattle that just happened TO
suit buyers, did not possibly show that
much decline, but a good many sold leo
16c lower than last week. While the mar
ket was late, a good share of the offerings
finally changed hands before the close.
Cows and heifers showed about the same
decline as beef steers, being
from slow to lOd15c lower than last week.
The best fleshy feeders were in very
light supply, there being comparatively few
cattle OF tina description and prices we're

hands there were a good many common to
