were around 15c to Csc higher Today
the supply was light and prices are
15c to 25c higher again. Good beef
steers are quoted here from $10.50 to
$11-50 and prime steers are quoted up
to $12. Cows of good quality sold to-
day at 1910, highest price ever paid
on this market, and choice to fancy
heifers are quoted UP to so. Pretty
good killing cows are selling at 80 to
$3.50 and fair cows at 1925 to So
