cATTLE-ReceIpts were hardly as large
as dealers were anticipating, S51 cars being
reported In. As has been the case for
some time lately the cattle were late get
trading. Business opened out rather slow,
with packers generally more or less bear

lower prices reported at Chicago. Up 10
a late hour, however, very little trading
had been done and that generally on the
basis Of steady to a shade lower Figures
ing for the day was over prices would
show more or less OF a decline as COM
pared with yesterdays strong prices. Ihere
and heifers as supplies were by no means
excessive and the demand from all sources
very satisfactory. Medium and common
stuff was in very liberal supply and ruled
somewhat easier in spots, but the choice
grades as well as the thin and canning
kinds sold at fully recent quotations. the
market for veal calves was active and
strong and bulls, stays, etc, sold In about
the same notches as yesterday
In stockers and feeders the trend OF
values was lower right from the start.
Outside orders we're not overly numerous,
while the attendance of country buyers
was rather disappointing. Heavy feeders,
IN particular, were rather slow sellers
and at more or less shaded prices, while
the good light and medium weight stuff
went at figures not waterway dltterent
mon tight stuff here that was hard to sell
even at prices 1Oql5c lower than yesterday.
