OF cattle in the yards, so that there was
nothing here upon winch 10 place an esti-
mate of the market for the cur .ent day.
Inc feeling, however, was steady For the
week receipts though showing consider
able gain over last week, are below the
average of recent weeks and smaller than
Tor the corresponding week of last year.
ceived this week has been made up OF
cornfed steers, ranging IN quality ali the
way from common TO pretty gooul strictly
choice or prime fed cattle have been rev
and far between. Under the influence Of
the unfavorable conditions at the large
eastern consuming centers the week started
out with Ioor demand at all points ana
with sharp decline IN prices, This mar.

light cattle in good flesh and good quality
have suffered the least
Good, fat heifers have been very active
sellers all week and the market on such
cattle IL not far from steady with last
weeks close. On the other hand the gen.

IN some cases strong prices. Veal calves
have sold at about steady prices, the best
bringing $3.50.

tremely light supply all week, and while
the demand has not been st all large, IL
has really been in excess of the receipts,
so that the market every day has been
