 pointing to a reduced supply in
 the country, pressing on the mar ket, and commission men are advising their customers against premature marketing of half fat steers, at the present low level.
 Bulk of the steers move at $5 40 to S5 S5, practically none above $6 co, and some lower class light steers down to $500. Cows and heifers got a rap this week they will not soon forget, prices off 20 to 30 cents, but 1t was coming to them, In view of recent misfortunes of steers.

 Hogs received here this week 72,900, last week 72,800, same week last year 28,6O0. The mar ket has held around steady for the week, and demand appears capable of taking the supply at present rates.

two seem quite prevalent.
To carry them out it is necessary (1)
to turn to the Jolly Page and see WHAT

little check and GET SQUARE. This is
why the Journal is interested in these
two in particular. 1t hopes you have
