Best kinds of fat cattle and stockers
and feeders averaged Is to so cents
last week and were disposed of at
about steady prices at this weeks
opening. A feature of current mar
kets is the appearance of a good
grade of beef steers, load lots selling
up to 1925 and 1896, with odd lots
as high as $3.50. A fair showing OF
sales is being made at $8.25 to 5000,
with bulk ranging from $500 to 1926.
Strictly choice fat heifers are bring
ing from $500 to $3.50, with good to
choice cows on Mondays market as
high as $3.50, and bulk of all sales
from $3.50 to $500. Gamers and
cutters are moving largely from $3.50
to $4.00, with bologna bulls mostly at
$500 to $500. Veal calves opened
this week on a steady basis, best light
vealers selling at $1,000. Heavy
feeders of good choice grade are SELL
ing readily from $3.50 to $3.50, with
few below $500, and good to choice
stockers weighing from $50 pound
down are gong largely from $500 to
$500.
Part of the loss sustained in hogs
late last week was regained at this
weeks opening, when averages NOV
