CATTLE- Receipts of cattle were light
today and there were home eight loads of
the number rpportfd In shipped direct to
packers from Knnras City. Scmio of the
trains were late In arriving , so that when
the market opened there wore only about
half of the reported receipts In sight.
Of beef cattle there were o-ily throe or
four loadr nn'.ece for the puckers , which
was not enough to make a killing for any
one. At the same time the packers wanted
a few beeves and this fact rendered the
market rather more active than it has been
for some days past. U was hardly possible
to expect any real Improvement In prices
with Chicago reporting' the mnrket still
lower agiln today and slow. About all
that can be said with safety Is to call It
nn active market , the activity being due
to the very light receipts.
The marKet on cows nnd heifers wns also
moro active nnd the offerings were all taken
parly In the morning , while the later ar
rivals sold nr > fast ns they could be yarded.
The cause for the market being In that
shnpe , however , wns the same ns with fat
cattle the supply was very light and tno
demand good. Uuyera all claimed that ( heir
purchases cost them a little more money ,
but as a. rule sellers' ' were quoting It only
ns nstp-.idy market. Quite a number of fat
bulls were among the offerings and the
market on that kind of stuff was just about
steady.
A few stacker ! ) and feeders were among
the offerings. The fact that beef cattle
'have ' been going lower steadily hnt pro
duced a weak feeling among feeder buyers.
At the same time the offering during this
week have been so light that It has been
hard work to get the mnrket down any.
Today there seemed to be a demand for nil
that were on hand and the market was just
nhout steady , with good kinds firm. Rep

SIIKKP Trains were late , so that there
were only about two loads besides a few-
odds and ends on sale this morning. The
parly demand was good and the early
market rtrong to a little higher. The of
ferings were all taken early In the morn
ing that Is , everything that was In sight.
I < atrr In the forenoon there arrived a few
additional loads , lint by that time reports )
from ether markets were coming unfavor
able and buyers would not on > r the morn

lower thnn yesterday on the samp kind of
stuff. The result was that the market
clofed rfdOc lowrr.
