Cattle.
Midweek receipts Of cattle of $4,000
did not affect the trade adversely and
prices were steady all along the line,
with prime beeves continuing to com
mand a premium.
Killers are retraining from use of
the bad beef market argument just
now, and their buying discredits any
unfavorable situation which may be
claimed to be facing the trade. There
is small movement of Argentine pro-
duct into the eastern cities, and while
the supplies of eastern fed grass cattle

ficance of broad call for the product

Break in the range cattle trade. Of
course is serving as a bearish infiu-
ence in the market for the medium and
plain natives. but the latter grades had
their break before it was encountered
in the native trade. 1t will likely re-
quire continuance Of big shipping of
rangers and further severe cuts on
prices for them to force still further
declines for the natives.
Sheep.
Sheep pens have been nurderea with
offerings all week. and With 10000 new
arrivals today the market showed
weakness.
Effect OF recent severe declines on
native marketings was shown by the
arrival OF only about fifteen decks OF
native stock. The big western delega-
ton of 126 doubles, inclusive Of ten
doubles direct to a packer. carried

and another generous supply of range
