DISPOSITION.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
CATILE-As usual on a Saturday there
was nothing of any consequence on sale in
the way or cattle. Prices were nomlnally
steady as compared with yesterday. As
compared with week ago there has been
no particular change except that both local
dressed beer men and eastern Shippers have
taken more kindly to the heavy cattle and
prices on these are perhaps a shade
stronger than week ago. On the other
hand, the heavy weight and rough grades
are selling little easier than last week
ana the demand for them is less keen. The
general market, however is practically
steady with a week ago and desirable cat
tie OF all grades are in good demand.
INC market Tor COWS and heterS has
3een steady throughout the week. Choice
tat heiters are selling as high as at any
tiine this season, while the common and
canning grades are in good request from
Doth FEEDER buyers and packers. Owing to
the large number of southern cattla al
southwestern markets the market has been
llttle easier on these grades but the gen.
e e market Is not very much different
from a week ago for anything that the
packers want. Veal calves, bulls. stays

figures mostly dime higher than those
that prevailed yesterday. Some nickel
higher business was done during early
rounds, but the few shipments that
changed hands at this advance were
heavier, good lights selling at the full ad-
vance throughout the session. In short
practically everything had been sold at ID

pretty close to dime better.
