choice beeves, yearlings Icing quoted as
high as 1900 and the best OF the heavy

after and sold unevenly. although on an

There was not much activity In the
Atocker and feeder trade. as supplies

received today, some 1853 cars, or ll,O0
head. showing up. Total for the two
smaller than a week ago. but 2.VU0 larger
than two weeks ago. and 5000 heavier
than for the same days last year.
In spite OF the fair size OF the supplies,
shippers bought number OF light and
butcher hogs on the early rounds at
prices that were flat nickel higher, get
ting the bulk OF their hogs at SI.60n7bb
and paying as high as r.oo for best
lights. This latter figure IL as high as
has been paid for over a week and equals

One or two packer buyers started out

The best here went at 5000. There was
a fair showing OF spring lambs, largely
natives. and as most OF them were OF
