Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Neb., Jan. 25 A very good run of
cattle arrived yesterday, some 8,200
head. On account of heavy runs at
other points as well as here the fat
cattle market was a little slow at
prices weak to about a dime lower
than the close of last week. Business
In cows and heifers was also rather
dull and the trend of values was low
er all along the line. Veal calves
were in fairly good demand at steady
figures. Desirable grades of stockers
tnd feeders were wanted and prices
held very nearly steady for anything
Hood enough to attract competition.
There wa a lot of low grade stuff
here and salesmen had to shade prices
more or less on stuff of this kind.
