CATTLi : There wns a tolerably liberal
run of cuttle today , ubottt the same as a
week ago. The offerings Included a liberal
sprinkling of very desirable beeves , but
theieMIS more common halt fat and
warmed up sttta1 here than thcio wns any
call for.
lieof Steers The demand for beef steers
was very good , pirllcMilarly for the more
desirable cr.ulos. Aimour took eighteen
loads of good , heavy beeves and Mejor.s
also took se\ernl loads. Ptlces wore fully
steady and occasionally strong for bee\es
on which local killers und eastern shippers
came In competition , and ns high as J1.SO
and $1 EO were paid. The common nnd me
dium grades did not fare so well nnd pi Ices
ruled stonily to a shade lowei , with trading
rather sluggish.
Butchers' Stock Offerings of cows nnd
heifers Included perhaps twenty-live
straight loads of cows and heifers and a
spt Inkling of odds and ends. The Inquiry
was fairly good from nil classes of buyers.
Desirable heifers sold at stiong pi Ices , but
the ordinal y run of stuff wns not more
than steady.
Stockers and Feeders Thn supply of this
class of stock was somewhat limited and
the demand was also lather lljMit. There
wcro piactlcally no country buyers here
Yard traders took what was offered at Just
about recent quotations. Representative
bales.
