Cattle receipts last week were larger than they have been running for several weeks, and the market averaged the high est of any week this year for all kinds of killing cattle. Stockers and feeders reached too high a fig ure Monday to hold up, and as re- ceipts of this class were liberal. and the demand restricted account of the high range, prices dropped 30 to 50 cents by the close of the week. The run IS 10000 today. market about steady on all kinds. There is better sale for the meat than short time ago. and all though receipts are running heavi- CT than expected, the situation is healthy.
