to $3.50. medium grades from $ll75 to

Butcher stock opened up steady to strong
but clacked up as the morning advanced
and buyers had trouble in obtaining steady
prices Best grades were quotable from
$500 to sl1.50 medium grades from S7.75
to IS so. Stockers were rather dull. but
prices were about steady on anything de-
sirable.
