CATTLE There was a fair run of cattle
today , but of the number reported In
Cudahy had twelve loads and the Omaha
Packing company lives loads direct irom
Kansas CUy. which were not offered for
Kale on thes market. 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. Rcctresenta'.lvei sales :
