TONE OF THE MARKET
The market for beef cattle showed
| some Improvement due in part to the
| smaller receipts, and in part To the re
| covery Of the slaughtererS from their
scare over the inspection. Very few
choice cattle We're brought to market,
ana these commanded from GI6hc.
Good steers brought from 5G6c and
some extra good cows sold above &c
The average for good COWS cover from
415dl5c, and the poorer COWS sold from
that figure down to 1hc.. which was all
| that some of the bologna COWS would
bring The inspection bears hardest on
the poorest cows, and buyers are afraid
of these
Veal calves range about as before
with the demand smaller and the re-
| ceipts fortunately lighter at the yards

erage but the demand was active and

| TIC, with some thin hogs lower

for sheep and lambs, and the supply
at tho wards was extremely small
