Of cattle for Monday were fairly lib

head There were very few loads of
corn-fed cattle here out Of the 494
loads received, and this gave dealers
little opportunity to get anything
like a real test OF the tone of the
market. What cattle were here were
not of a particularly good quality, but
prices for the most part were CON
sidered fully steady with last weeks
close, or possibly a little stronger.

Shippers had next to no orders at
all for hogs for Monday, and the odd
loads they did buy were around a
quarter lower. One or two of the
packers made a few 15G25c lower
bids on the start, and sellers who
were fortunate ENOUGH to get these
early bids made the high sales of The
day. The average trade was around
25G3Oc lower, bulk of the sales be-
