Mich cows were in small demand
| and the market was without life, with
| the general tone weak. Very few
buyers were about the barns and sales
were late in closing. with values hard
| to hold and the bulk Of the sales were
made at a lower lever than prevailed
at the previous market. Some high
| grade cows sold readily at good fig
ures, but other grades which were not
| ,,fa nd r6 of "
| sold hard. There was a great many in
| fcrior cows brought in. not worth at
the most over $25. and these are very
poor sellers, and are drag on the
| market All through the spring the
| demand has been very light and the
| weekly shipments are too heavy to in
| duce active trading.
| The beef cattle trade showed no i'm
provement from that of the preceding
| day. Bids were shade more brisk,
but not lively enough to help trade
and the market continued depressed.
