CATTLE-While several cars of cattle
were reported IN today, nearly all OF them
Was nothing of any consequence on sale.
Ihe receipts for the week have been very
liberal and have run largely to feeders,
theTe having been no great surplus of
killing cattle, especially the better grades.
Very few cornfeds have arrived during
the week, in fact, not enough to make a
market or to really establish quotations.
As frequently noted In these columns, the
demand for cornfeds is very limited, owing
to the fact that packers prefer the range
cattle at the present time. AS a result
cornteds are very uneven sellers, depend
ing upon whether there happens to be an
order In for that kind of cattle just at the
time that they put In an appearance. The
best range beeves, such as $500
or better, have shown comparatively little
change during the week, being about steady
with last weeks close. On the other hand.
fair to pretty good kinds of beeves are as
much as 10Q15c lower, with the medium to
common kinds Dd25c lower.
Cows and helfers have been in very good
demand throughout the week. and, although
the supply has been fairly liberal, everything
received has met with very ready sale.
Prices early In the week eased off a little.
but later recovered, and at the close of the
week are about where they were one week
ago.
The SUPPLY of feeders has been very large
throughout the week, a considerable pro-
portion of all the cattle arriving consist
ing OF that kind. Still good kinds have not
been so very plentiful and they are not over
10000 lower for the week. On the other
hand, the general run Of feeders are safely
2c lower and the medium to commo kinds
are 2SS04Oc lower than last weeks close.
