Cattle-As usual on Saturday, there was
nothing OF any consequence In the way
OF beef cattle on sale. and values were
nominally the same as on Friday. Receipts
for the week have been rather liberal for
June, footing up around $4,000 hcad, or
only about 1000 less than for the week
previous.
Choice beeves, tyth heavy and light. have
ruled active and stronger nearly every day,
new top Of $3.50 on heavy boevea and
new top Of sls,s5 on yearlings being reg
istered. On the other hand, tho medium
and common cattle of all weights have
shown declining tendency on account of
increased competition from western and
southern grass cattle outside of tho
strictly good 10 choice beeves there has
been a decline in prices ranging from 2Sc
to Soc, and the market 10 closing dull at
the decline. The break In values on these
medium and half fat cattle is entirely sea-
sonable and similar conditions are reported
from outside markets
In cows and heifers II has been much the
same way. the best oornfed grades finding
free outlet at steady to strong prices
and grassy and half fat cows showing all
OF 26@60o drop for the week. Veal
calves have held fully steady, but bulls,
stags, ETC.. have been slow sellers through
out at unevenly lower prices,
