sustained the heaviest losses OF the
season. The decline was most marked
In connection with prime steers and
heifers and the better grades OF
butchers cattle. Fairly good fat COWS,
stockers and feeders were about ~
cents lower. Steers, that would have
readily brought Sc on this date last

Mich cows were dull and low, the
best selling for $50. The break IL

last week. The top for calves on
Thursday was $6.25 per cwt.
The sheep and lamb trade opened
dull at last weeks prices, but the
demand weakened before the after.

weak and lower. A few extra wo
lambs brought 1925 early in the day,
but at the close, $616.1O was the top
for the same kind. Clips were in
larger supply than heretofore, prices
