particularly attracted buyers trading
on the cattle market was Of slow and
draggy trend with weakened under
tone apparent. Most dealers were re-
porting an exchange of stock at steady
flgures. but the movement was slow
and some sales showed slight dis
ceding days
All buyers seemed to be wanting
hogs; with quality ranking little bet
was paid by packers for three loads of
choice hogs. Bulk ranged from ss.75
to $500. and few sales were made
between the latter figure and the top.
Heavy throwout hogs are quoted at
$3.50 to S5.75. with more desirable kinds
ranging between 1925 and $3.50.
Sheep.
The remainder were being held here

seem as good as II has been for some
time, and buyers We're making their
bids in a desultory fashion Trading

be noted in the bids of buyers. but in
spite of the conditions salesmen were

Country buyers were nearly as nu-

inquiry for feeder stock was fair but

little time for the traders to agree on
the basis of exchange. Three cars OF
