CATILE--Receipts Of cattle today num-
bered only fourteen cars, which was not
enough 10 make a test or values. For the
week receipts have been fairly liberal. run
ming very nearly on a level with last week
ana a year ago. At the same time other
market points have been having large
runs, especially the first Of the week.
Good corn-fed cattle have been very
scarce throughout the week anc are fully
steady to a little stronger than at the
close Of last week. On the other hand,
the sharp break at eastern points in half
rat grades has brought about a sharp de-
cline all along the line, prices at this point
being around 6Oc lower for the week on
that kind. Range cattle have been in
limited supply at all market points, and
anything desirable along that line has sold
very freely throughout the week.
Cows and heifers showed some weakness
early in the week, when fat cattle were
breaking, but still at the c.ose of the week
they are not far from where they were
last. week, being generally quoted steady,
so Tar as the better grades, al least, are
concerned.
A good many stockers and feeders have
changed hands this week, but still the best
grades have remained about steady, while
the lighter and hinner cattle are generally
lodlbc lower than one week ago. Buyers
that the medium and common grades have
moved Slowly all the week.
