CATTLK-Only OC4 bead of cattle , a
told , were reported In the yards today , a
against 1.S32 yesterday and 1.4SI on Wedncs
day of last vvcck. 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 :

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. The train was
handled In just the fame manner as It Is
every day and all necessary stops were
made. The regular schedule of stops was
idhered to and flag stations were not over
looked.
