| CATTLE-R Receipts were very liberal
| this morning, being larger than on most
recent days, but not quite up 10 the
receipts were a number OF cars consigned
direct to packers and Bpeoulators, so that
the actual number OF cattle on sale was
not overly large.
Packers started out bidding prices that
were in many cases a little lower than
yesterday, which made the early market
rather slow. In the end. however. they
favor in their eyes at prices that were
about steady with yesterday. At the
same time there were other cattle that
no one seemed especially anxious for
that had to sell at prices that were posi-
bly, a little lower Taken as a whole,
the trade was in very fair condition and
reasonably satisfactory to selling inter-
eSts.
cows and helfers were In light supply
the same as they have been tho last
week or so. GrasserH continue weak the
tendency on that class OF stock being
downward, while strictly dry-lot butcher
stock is sought after at good, firm prices.
There were very few stockers and feed
ers In first hands, but speculators re-
ceived quite a large CONSIGNMENT from
southern markets, so there were u great
plenty on sale to satisfy the demand. The
market on that class OF cattle as "A whole
did not show any material change.

 Miss McCann was 23 years old, good looking and popular with her friends.
