CAITLE-The week opens out with a
surprisingly heavy run, 1000 more thsn 1
more than for the corresponding day q
year ago. AS usual western rangers mace
up the big bulk Of the receipts, but there
was liberal sprinkllng Of fairly desirable
beef steers included in the arrivals u ltll
beartsh markets east and heavy Local sup
plies the trade opened out very dull, VIII
buyers bidding and paying prices about lVc
lower than last week for the desirable
offerings, and paying fully lOqlbc lower
natives and westerns. The trade was
necessarily slow and dull and put off to 8
late hour in the morning.
Cows and heifers were also in liberia
supply, and while there was good genera
outlet, the heavy receipts enabled al
Glasses Of buyers TO shade prices and the
fully 1Oc decline from last weeks closing
figures.
heavier than dealers we're expecting, ano
as they had carried over quite g. gooo
many cattle from last week, they were II
no mood to take on an additional supply
except at shaded prices. Country demand
was rather slow, and with fat cattle on 9
lower basis the general tone to the traat
was decidedly weak Bids and sales on the
early market were fully a dime lower thar
at the close of the week. and II looked
very much as II the decline would be ever
greater before the close OF the day.
