,CAITLE-There were no cattle of any
consequence. the market beng bare as
usual ON Saturday, but for the week re-
celpts have been very liberal, beng the
largest of any week thus far since the
opening of the range season, but stu
slightly smaller than a year ago.
The demand for beef steers, both corn
feds and rangers, has been very good all
the week, ana the market from start to
finish is In very halthy and, generally
speaking, In a very satisfactory condition
owing TO weakness reported at other SELL
ing points, values here have eRsed orr
somewhat. but still the change has not
been very great. The market at the close
Ia not over l0d10o lower than week ago
Cows and heifers. which have been
selling at very high prices, owing to
the moderate receipts, have eased off
a little this week, in spite of the good
buying demand, and are around 16q25c
lower at the close than one week ago.
The demand for feeder cattle has been
disappointing. 1t being hard work to move
have in consequence eased OFF, being in
many cases lSq26c lower.
