 .. Beef Cattle
 Another extraordinary July run of grass cattle arrived, high prices the main motive for liberal shipping, with some dry spots contributing.

 Market Letter for the Past Week.

The country shows that it is not willing to take lower prices at this time without a struggle, and in a fight under present conditions the country has the best weapons. Fav- orable weather on the whole for corn gives feeders courage, and the nearer the approach to the successful matu- rity of a good corn crop the fewer light weight hogs appear, which cuts down receipts. Top price today was $15.70, medium weight hogs at $15.- 60, light $15.25, bulk of all sales $14.- so to S15.60.
 Sheep and Lambs
 The market was steady to lower, though there was no really good stuff offered. Native lambs sold at $15.40, three loads of Arizonas at $15.35, with 168 feeding lambs out at $14.50, and two cars of Idaho lambs brought $15.25, not fat at all, with 100 feed- ing lambs out at $14.25. Good fat ewes are worth around $9, wethers $10, yearlings S11.50, breeding ewes up to S1250. s
