CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle this morning
were Unexpectedly small. Estimates as
cars Of cattle for today, whereas there were
not many over 200 cars. The receipts ran
largely to feeders, there being some pretty
good cattle at ri 3 that trss, Kind 6r5 and q Thsrs a T SSqe
also a good many killers; quite a number
of them on the rough order. Among the
offerings were a few corn-feds, one bunch
at least being right good stuff. Owing to
the fact that receipts were lighter than
anticipated, while advices from other points
W.T. somwhat encouraging, buyers were
out in the yards earlier than was the case
on many days last week and were ready
TO bid about as soon as cattle could be
shaped out ready to be shown.
Desirable kinds of western beeVes ware
active sellers at prices generally a little
stronger than last weeks close. A good
many sales actually looked 1OQ1bc higher
than the extreme low point on last Thurs
day. More than that, the trade was more
active than any day last week and the
feeling better. Choice western beeVes sold
as high as $5.65, the best price paid at this
point In some time. On the other hand,
corn-fed steers were not particularly active;
in fact packers did not appear any too
| anxious for them, and there seemed TO be
quite a difference of opinion between buy
ers and sellers, so that the trade was
rather dull on that kind.
Cows and heifers were also free sellers
at stronger prices, sales in many cases
looking as much as lOc and in some cases
possibly l6c higher than the low day last
week.
Good. fleshy feeders sold freely at firm
prices and, although a good many cattle
were carried over In the hands Of specu-
lators, still even medium kinds sold a little
more freely than last week.
