The disposition Of the days receipts was
as follows, each buyer purchasing the num-
Der of head indicated:

CATTLE-Receipts o. cattle this morn
ing were not very large, only lis cars being
reported in. Among the offerings were
some pretty good killers, although a con-
siderable proportion of the receipts was
made up of stuff none too good as re-
CARDS quality. The market as a whole did
not show very much change.
Buyers did not seem to be in any very
great hurry TO fill their orders for beef
steers, with the result that the forenoon
was pretty well advanced. before very much
business was transacted. AS a rule sales
men were reporting their cattle as going
at steady and in some cases strong prices
What has been said regarding the steer
market would apply equally well TO the
market on cows and heifers- The change
was not noticeable in any direction.
Feeders which were quoted a little mora
active yesterday, did not move quite so
freely Today, with the tendency a little
easier. This means that the market is just
about where It was a week ago on feeding
cattle.
