Prices for butcher cattle were strong,

Beef Cattle
Fat cattle remained in a strong po-
sition at last weeks advance. Most
Of the offerings today were medium
to good steers that sold at $3.50 to
$41.50. No choice to prime steers ar
rived and the fact that the run was
practically all in the same class tend
ed to halt an upward movement. How
ever, the general market is at the
high point of the year with Indications
for moderate receipts for the next two
months. Southern fed steers brought
S8 to SO and western fed steers 1925
to $11.50. Cows and heifers ruled
firm, spots shade higher. The steer
