In addition there xvero nineteen loads of feeders direct to a. speculator , so-that the number of cattle on sale on "the hill" xvas not large. Only a fexv cornfed cattle were among .ihe ofu-rlngs and the most of them xvere de cidedly on the commonlsh order. More over the trains were many of them late , so that the cattle came straggling In all the morning , rendering .Me market late. Desirable kinds of fat cattle could be quoted as steaely , but commonlsji stuff was sloxv and in some cnses a little weak. ' Coxvs and heifers xvere In good demand and the market on that kind of cattle xvas active a' good , steady prices , and the trade xx-as entirely satisfactory to operators. The most of the early arrivals changed hands very readily and the market seemed to be In a good , iheulthy condition. Bulls , stags , etc. , xx ere also steady. Veal calves xvere In good demand at firm prices , thu best bring- 1ns $7.00. Good feeders , weighing right around 900 pound.s and upxvards , hax-o been scarce right nlons , as has been noted In these columns most every day this xveek. Buyers all want t/hat / kind of cattle nnel they woulel undoubtedly bilng firm prlcew. On the other hand speculators are all overstocked with lis'nt ' and medium weight cattle , for xvhlch there Is very little demand. The light and thin cattlp are all of 105il5c loxver than last xveek.
