Trading ruled active where steers
were concerned, and a modest number
OF heuers and mixed yearlings found
ready outlet. Cows found rather slug
gsh movement early in the week, but
later improved demand prompted in
creased activity on that class that
closed brisk. Bulks followed along the
same lines as week earlier. and at
times outlet appeared none too de-
pendable. Sluggish condition in the
dressed market put somewhat of a
check on strengthening prices, and
small supplies appeared as the prin-
clpal factor that boosted prices of most
