CATTLE-There were no fresh cattle of
any consequence on sale this morning,
For the week receipts loot up almost IS
900 head, being falling OFF OF about 200
head, as compared with last week and of
1900 head, compared with a year ago.
With sucu mouerate receipts the market
here under ordinary conditions should
have been in very fair condition, but
overwhelming receipts at some other
points, especially Chicago, followed by
Dad breaks, caused the market here TO
take turn for the worse. Another weak
feature OF the trade was the fact that
receipts at this point were made up of
cattle of very poor quality.
Few, IL any, really good beef steers
plenty OF haif fat and inferior grades OF
cornteds and few westerns, but practi-
caly nothing tnat could be ciassed as
strictly good. With other markets
breaking badly, prices here steadily
worked to lower basis, and at the CLOS
of the week beef steers are safely 15q2Oc
lower than last week.
The best cows and the general run of
common Gamers were In very falr de-
mand all the week. but sull at the close
they ara I0gl5c tower On the other hand,
there were great many medium KINDS
OF both cows and helfers, and they are
generally z5c lower than last week.
StOckers and feeders followed the lead
OF killing cattle and steadily worked
lower, 4 he general run OF common to
medium cattle of that description are
fully 25c lower than last week. on the
other hand. very few strictly good feeders
arrived during the week, and, as result,
prices on such have SHOWN little or no
change,
