poor 6i@7e. The best heavy cows
sold for 5G953e., and the best bulls

dunn 10 good cows sold from 4@5c..
poor 10 ordinary for S@4c.
Veal calves sold at the same range
as week ago. from 7GsIae. There
were a few extra fancy veal that
brought a little higher figure. but this
ives because the quality was better
and not because the market was any
stronger. Ordinary veals sold at 6l2

demand good and the receipts at the
