CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle were very
light even for Thursday, there not being
enough TO make very much Of a showing
In the yards. The mcst OF the cattle were
cornfed steers, some of them OF pretty good
quality.
The light receipts yesterday followed by
an extremely light run today seemed to
make more hungry for supplies and they
were out in the yards quite early in the
morning. Under the influence OF the good
demand and the very light offerings, the
desirable kinds OF beef cattle sold very
freely at prices that were at least lOc
higher. Some statesmen, in fact thought
for the two days cGn safely be quoted
l5q25c higher on desirable kinds OF killers
This makes up for all the decline OF the
first OF the week. Undesirable kinds OF
half fat cattle have not shown very much
improvement and cannot be expected 10 az
they come into direct competition with
yeaFlings are also hard TO move at as low
prices as have prevailed at any time
Everything desirable vas sold and weighed
up at an early hour in the morning.
What has been said regarding the steer
market would apply in most respects to the
market on cows and heifers. Desirable
cornfed kinds having both flesh and quail
ity have shown strength during the last
two days and are l0al5c higher, and, In
some cases, 25c higher. On the other hand.
common grass kinds have shown very little
Improvement, the market being slow on
that kind every Gay and very uneven,
There were no stockers or feeders Of any
consequence in the yards. but what Few
there was here sold at about steady prices.
