CATTLE-Receipts of cattle this morning
were quite liberal for a Wednesday, 2s
cars being reported in, as against 24o last
week ana 1873 cars two weeks ago. The
quality OF the cattle was about on a par
with the runs Of the last several days,
the arrivals consisting almost entirely OF
killers.
The trade in beef steers was very slow
and dull and il wss much later than usual
before anything like a clearance was eff
fected. Handy weigh cattle OF good
quality were, as usual, the best sellers,
and In some cases they brought prices thar
looked about steady. Still the tendency
was ca sier. Other grades of cattle were not
only slow, but lOc lower than yesterday.
Cows and heifers were also slow and
dull, The best kinds OF choice fed cows
and heifers did not show so much chang =
but the general market WAS downward, and
in many cases loo lower.
There were no stockers or feeders OF any
consequence in the yards, II being hard
work to find a full load. The feeling in
consequence of the small run was firm.

some cases reporting that they were COM

the market was active al the advance and
