uay 25.-Cattle receipts yesterday
were $500 head. Desirable cattle sold
readily to fully steady figures. On the
medium and common cattle however
the trade was slow right from the
s,art and i'll some cases values we're
shade lower. The trade in cows and
LETTERS was comparatively small. De.
mand was fair from all sources, hu,
all classes of buyers were lighting any
further advance on butcher stock and
the resul, was a very slow trade
throughout. Right good hcifers and
light COWS generally sold at pretty
t!ose to steady figures. but 1t tooA
more or less shaded prices TO move
the general run of butcher and canner
stock. Veal calves. bulls, stays, etc
were readily salable at full last
weeks figures. There was not much
doing in stockers and feeders as sup
plies We're very limited and the de
mand was decidedly restricted Choice
stock OF all kinds found ready sale
at fully steady figures, but on the gen
erai run of stock cattle and feeding
steers values are all of SOC lower
than two weeks ago and the volume
OF business small.
