CATTI, E-Receipts OF cattle this week
have been very liberal, showing totaL OF
over 24,0O head. This is the largest run
OF any week since the early part OF De
cember.. and larger than a year ago py
almost 5000 head. Receipts have consisted
largely OF medium grades OF beer steers
ana butcher stock, with a liberal Sprlnklne
OF stock cattle and feeders strictly good
killing cattle have been IN moderate sup
ply. -,
good throughout the week and as offerings
nave been far from burdensome, as noted
above, the trade throughout the week mas
been In a good healthy and fairy satis-
factory condition. Coco, light and Mandy
weight beeVes have been the best sellers
and they have commanded good firm prices
every day, being. IL anything, httle
stronger at the close OF the week. On
the other hand, heavy and plain or rough
cattle have not been so mucn sought after
and they are, II anything, tribe easier
than last week, still the change has been
very small.
Anything in the way of good fat heifers
or cows has met with ready sale through
out the week at prices showing compar-
atively little change as compared with one
week ago. Canning stock has also solo 10
good advantage, remaining IN ABOUT the
same notches. On the other hanu' the
medium grades, which have been in very
large supply, showed some weakness, ana
are possibly in some cases as much as
1O9l6c lower than the close OF last week
Calves commanded steady prices through,
out the week, while bulls were in very good
demand and are in many cases 1Oql5c
higher than last week
At the opening Of the week feeders were
very strong and the demand good. Later
on, as 1t became apparent that the country
was not quite so crazy for supplies as last
week, and as receipts, especially the com
mcner kinds, became quite liberal, prices
weakened and the trade became slow ana
dul. AT the close the best fleshy teeuers
OF good quality, dehorned, are not over
lOil0c lower than last week. The less de-
sirable kinds are 15qSc lower, the common
thin stock cattle being fully 25c lower.
