better force of buying In the local
livestock market although so far as
prices are concerned there was no
change since yesterday.

far In evidence.

week ago today.
The best price received for cattle
in the yards today was $435, and this
represents about the best stuff avail
able for the yards at this time. Grass
stuff Is selling unusually high, and
this is bringing forth a larger show
ing than had been anticipated.
Buyers Again In Market.
Local and outside killers who have
practically been out of the cattle
market for about a week because of
the large supplies held in their pens,
are again sending their buyers into
the yards. and the result Is that
about everything that comes Is picked
up at the prices quoted The Union
Meat company, Carsten and the Fry
Bruhm company were all quite good
buyers in the yards today, and S. &
S. Is said to have taken some sup
plies. Small butchers are likewise
more interested in the market than
they have been. For awhile these
were making considerable effort to
cut prices, but they were generally
unsuccessful and in order to get
their wants they have been compelled
10 compete with the others.
