plies around the market circuit were
again of liberal proportions. Local

10 use as compared with the close
of last week.
Big assortment of stock cattle on
offer this week has created an ire
sistible strain on prices and current
quotations are at the lowest level of
the season. Break as compared with
Monday is put at Is q 25e, or values
are close to a half dollar lower than
the high time last week.
Hog market was again dominated
by the buyers and further sharp CON
eessions resulted. Fresh decline was
rated at Is q Csc. High sale for the
day was 5000, while the bulk of
sales were quoted at a spread of
$3.50 a 1910.
