part of last week. Buyers seemed TO want
a few light cattle, and anything That suited

also picked up a few heavy cattle at very
satisfactory prices, but the majority OF the
heavy cattle and everything on the plain
order was very much neglected, II being a
slow market with a lower tendency. Buy

SHEEP-There was some improvement
