tie here the past week met with a
broad demand and price gains are
noted for the period. Run included

cleared to packers at a spread of
$500 to SITS, odd head up to $500.

stock, with a few loads of range cows
up to $5.25 and we'll conditioned range
heifers up to $500. Gamers are nov
quoted $3.50 to $2.75, with cutters

higher the forepart of the week, but
in sympathy with declines noted at
other markets and a narrower demand
locally lost most of the advance at the
close Of the week, bulk bOlognas now
