CATTLE Receipts were the lightest
that they have been for a Monday In a
long time and still they were more than
double the receipts of q year ago. The

force the market higher, while the re-
oeipts made buyers reluctant about put
ting on anything.
Fat beef was generally steady to pos
sibly little stronger on some kinds
with cows, heifers and good stock cat
