CATTLE-The week closes with the
usual Insignificant run of cattle and with
nothing OF any consequence In the beef
line on sale. The market was nominally
steady, but generally 15425c lower than
week ago. Receipts have been the
heaviest so far this season ond while
made up largely of western range cattle
nave nave, included very small proportion Of
cornfeds showed up In the arrivals and
the best OF these moved at prices not
very much different from a week ago,
while on the ordinary run of short-fed
and warmed-up steers that came in
competition with the western rangers the
trade was duh and unevenly lower from
start to finish
Western rangers were lower from the
start. Demand from dressed beef men
was rather indifferent owing to bad beef
and cattle markets in the east and there
feeder buyers for the fleshy grades, so
that trading was on the dull and draggy
order and at the close quotations are all
or lbG26c lower than week ago.
The abundance OF cheap steer beef also
had depressing effect on the COW mar
ket, since packers preferred the cheap
beer 10 the good cows. As result the
general run of cows and helfers declined
1uliy quarter during the week and
were slow sale at that on the other
hand, there was a well sustained demand
throughout for Gamers and cutters and
with plenty OF competition from feeder
buyers for thin cows the market ruled
fully steady fo= anything OF this kind.
Good veal calves ruled firm all week,
while the heavier grades showed a de-
cline OF 25Q5Oc. Outlet for bulls, stays,
etc, was good all week and prices we'll
sustained.
Business in stockers and feeders was
probably the largest OF the season. but IL
was not sufficiently large to clean up
the heavy offerings even at prices l5625c
lower than last week. Outlet was fair
most OF the time for well bred and well

decline. Low grade and off quality stock
cattle were a drag on the market from
start to finish and closed about as low
as any time this season. Yard traders
will be compelled to carry over a good
many cattle till next week.
