SEQ, an Increase of 1900 compared with
the same period last week and a de-
crease of 1900 compared with the cor

Packers are not supporting the I'VE
Gay market plan: that was obvious
Tuesday by the manner in which they
cid business. With no competition
worthy of mention and offerings of an
inferior quality they had nothing t.
arouse their enthusiasm. There were
some good light steers III the pens,

| enough TO command $500. In fact,
majority Of steer sales were downward

but few scattered loads, which shows
how few decent loads arrived.
