ened today in consequence OF there be-
ing large lett over supply from last
night.
II was a fairly active market while
the choice lots lasted, but after the
cream" OF the crop Vas purchased II

ally Well cleared OF most lots, aitno
some plain kinds were unsold at the
finish. Receipts for the first five days
this week aggregated lol 500, an m
crease OF 1880 compared with same
period last week and a decrease OF 10

last year.

butchers. as such kinds slightly out
sold the heavy offerings. The new hlgh
mark stood the highest since Sept. 10
1913, wnen best landed at $50 ne
average range u sales however was
the highest since year ago next
week Best price paid all last year
Was $3.50 and many are predicting that
this summer will see offerings selling
we'll above that price. Hardly any

there were many lots at sS.ooG $40
Cattle
Cattle trade was hardly more than
nominal.
Outside of the good TO choice cattle
prices have gone lower this week Tie
decline has carried AL cattle that sod
under the 1925 mark. The decline was
largest on the grass offerings and the
KIND that had only q little corn. A
general price cut OF l5d25 cents Is
noted on all but the best. While SOM
% the grass cattle now show 70 q 10
cents loss. with instances o. 80 cents
from the good kind last Monday
In many places OF the country grass
is in very bad shape. which caused
feeders to ship much OF the thin stock
during the week, and the supply totaled
more than the demand could handle.
The liquidation of the grassy kinds is
| expected TO continue into next week
and fair supply is looked for Monday
and the week following.
