The quality OF the beef steers on sale
was nothing very extra. the majority OF
the cattle being common. Desirable kinds
OF killers generally commanded fully
stendy prices, with the market slow to
possibly a little lower on the medium to
common Kinds.
Good cows and Gamers were generally
steady, but there was some complaint
that the medium kinds were a little hard
to move, with prices possibly q little
weaker.
Strictly good feeders we're about steady
in most cases. on the other hand, the
medium kinds, which have been coming
In very freely were badly neglected, and
cattle or that description were anywhere
from weak to as much as Sc lower than

Other points reported declines again to-
day and the local market opened out dull
and sharply lower. shipping orders were
filled at figures that were at least 61l0c
lower than yesterday. Tops again reached
S.s5. but the quality OF the hogs selling
than yesterdays top load. Packers started
bidding on a lOulbc lower basis. and while
statesmen tried hard to get better prices
the comparatively liberal receipts gave
buyers the advantage, so that when the
offerings finally began to move values
we're all OF a dime lower. Buyers were
picking out the better grades, leaving the

clean up this less desirable stuff their'
offers we're around l5c lower than Tues
day
Considering the fact that the quality Is
II anything better than ON Tuesday, price7
are generally a big dime lower. Most OF
the enrly packer sales landed around

end OF the supply. and some sales OF Ms
low as $50 were reported late. Tops

The decline In feeder lamb prices OF late
