Reduced loadings of cattle at all
points today made for mostly steady

was a load OF weighty fed offerings
which were unsold at this writing
while best grass steers averaged 1883
pounds and sold at $1,000 with plain
er kinds selling at $1,000 to $10.25
or below. Bulk of the heifers cashed
at $7.75 to $500 with a few loads of
westerns and shortfed natives caShing
up to $1,000, most fat COWS clearing
at S6.75 to $775. Cutters moved ac-
trade was rather uneven with the
close indicating weak to lower ten
dency. Bulk of the stocker and feed
CIR steers sold at 1915 downwards
some heavy feeders reaching $1,000
with stockers at $1,000. Vealers clos
ed mostly steady, spots Csc lower con-
sidering quality with good fights
largely at $11.5O to $1,000
Some moderation in receipts of
hogs combined with fair sized ship
ping demand helped elevate the trade
around 10 to 15c as compared with
last Friday. Lights and butchers sold
mostly at $S.25 to $3.50 with occa-
sional lots of strictly choice kinds
to shippers at $S.35. Light lights
brought $3.50 to $7.75, with packing
sows also selling at these terms while
most of the desirable pigs brought
$3.50, these latter being 25c lower.
Closing trade found fat lambs SELL
ing strong to Csc higher compared
with last weeks close with bulk at
S12.75. Heavy throwouts sold from
$1,000 to $11.00 with culls at $500 to
$1,000. Included in the run were
numerous lambs in feeder flesh and
these met with a broad demand and
sold from $1,000 to $11.OO for natives
and Dakotas with rangers averaging
ga and 68 pounds selling at $11.75 and
$1,000 respectively. Desirable weight
and qualified fat ewes sold to killers
at $500 to 1928 with numerous thin
light ewes, cashing at $500 to $500
or better.
