It was hardly inoic tha a Saturday's run , and there were no enough of any one kind of cattle to mnk a market. The light run , however , ill rot have very much effect upon the mnr kct , the Indifferent character of the dc nuind of late being such as to preelud the chance of sudden advinces on th strength of light receipts. About the bes that a light run can do , apparently. Is t make prices firm and cau p the offering lo move off a little more freely than o other days. Only n few fat cattle were on sale , bu rome of thorn wore quite desirable for th dre sed beef trade. As high as Kl.9.1 wn paid for one small bunch of 1,337-11) , i-tecrs The prices paid were a little stronger tha yesterday , and the cattle were nil soli early. In the way of butchers' stock , there wcr ton cr a dozen loads of cows nnd heifers The demand was fnlr , but not nctlv enough to bring about any advance li prices. Salesmen were generally calling th market Just about steady , though buyer reported their purcluifrpi as costing a llttl more than yesterday. Everything was soli before the close. The stacker and feeder trade was no very largo for two very good reasons There were only a few cattle hero ami th demand was light. Good stockcrs contlmte < about steady , but there Is a very weal feeling on htavy feeders , and the tendency of the market on that cln s of stuff I lower. In commenting on the feeder mnr ket the Chicago Drovers' Journal observe that the prlco of good feeding cattle am good fat cattle are about as near togethc ns thev ever have been. There Is scnrrelv COc difference , and some country i-hlpper- who sold good 1,400-lb. fat steers and wantei to buy desirable 1.0uO-lb. feeders declared a few dnvs ago that there wasn't any differ cncc. Feed Is so cheap and plentiful tha there doesn't need to bo as much dlfferenct In price as usual , though the gap shoul < bo wider than It Is to give feeders any klm of a show. The price of feeding cattle Is not extremely high for this time of tht year , but the price of fat cattle Is un usually low. Representative sales : srnnns. WESTERN CATTLE. IDAHO. No. * Av. Pr.

Superintendent of Car Service Duclslngham and other olHclals bf the operating depart ment of the Union * Pacific were In high spirits yesterday over the good reports received from the "Overland Limited , " which left hero Wednesday noon with orders to make n record from Omaha to Ogdcn. Wednesday morning the tinln was delayed four hours by a railroad wreck In Illinois. It was due here at 8:20 n. m. ; Instead It arrived In this city at 12:10. : It left hero again on Its way to Ogdcn at 12:15 : p. m. - From Council Bluffs to Grand Island the train made the run of 156 miles In three hours and twenty-one minutes , making tip forty-nine minutes of the lost time. The "Overland" was drawn by engine No. 1SOO , In charge of Engineer Vannoy. This was ono of the best combinations on the road , the engine being one of the best over turned out of the Omaha shops , and Engineer Vnnnoy being one of the oldest and best engineers on the road. road.From From Grand Island to North Platte , a dis tance of 133 miles , the run was made In three hours and three minutes. The engine was No. SSS , also of the Omaha shops , and was tn charge ( if Engineer Austin. On this run thirty-seven minutes were made up. From Rawllns the train was reported as being only on ? hour and fifty-five minutes late , having made up over two hours of the lost time after leaving Omaha. From Ran-llns to Ogden Is a distance of 325 miles and In that un It was expected that the "Overland" would cut Its lateness In half , arriving nt Ogden only fifty of fifty-live minutes behind Its schedule time. The "Overland 'Limited" runs from Chicago to Ogden via the Chicago & Northwestern ind the Union Pacific systems. It has a very fast schedule as U is and to make up three hours between Omaha and Ogden Is con sidered no mean achievement. No short cuts were taken on this run.
