Tho market as a whole was not so active as It has been on a good many days, so that the forenoon was well advanced before a clearance was effected. At the opening nf the market buyers went the rounds of the pens nnd paid steady prices for such cattle ns they happonad to need to fill orders, nnd the cattle thit they seemed to want most were tho light or handy weights. After such cattle as were needed to 111! the more urgent orders were bought the market eased off and becamo dull and weak to 5c lower, and in extreme cases 10c lower. Holders of heavy cattle thought they were the hardest to sell and that the weakness was the most nronoiincerl nn that lflml. ntllt the mnrket would have to be quoted as closing lower '70.. on nu Kinds. Cows and heifers were in such moderate supply that they were disposed of early in the morning ut Just nbout steady prices, tho market on that kind of cattle showing no matcrlul change. Bulls, stags, etc., also sold at nbout the. same old prices. Stockers nnd feeders seemed to be in pretty good demand, and the market was Just about steady, with the trade fairly ac tive.
