 Beef Cattle.
 Both shipping and local killing de. mand for cattle was active today With prices strong, in some eases slightly , higher. At the outset some lower bids were placed because of liberal supplies offered, but these did not hold when trade got under way. Nothing prime was offered. Some good fat steers sold at $750 to $8.10 and any kind that showed flesh sold above $6.75. Cows and heifers, veal | calves and bulls were in active de- mand and sold readily from the start. ! Good heavy cows and choice light weight heifers were scarce. ] Stockers and Feeders.
