i25. Best corn fed steers both heavy
and light are now selling at $l7. 0l7.6O.
On the other hand receipts of western

lost before the close. Best rangers this
week have brought $4,000 1885. De
sirable cows and heifers both grassers
and corn feds have ruled fully steady
for the week and in some cases stronger
while medium and common grades have
sold off fully b0@75c and ruled slow

on medium and light stuff with the trend
