A considerable many of the cattle were cornfed beeves , with qulto u showing of butchers' stock nnd feeders. Among the offerings of beef cattle were more heavy cattle and better cattle than have been seen here In several days. Early advices from other points generally Indi cated steady markets , with receipts far from burdensome , so that the conditions to that extent , at least , were favorable to the selling Interests. There was , however , n feeling umong some , If not nil , buyers that prices here have been too high ns compared with other markets , so that the disposition was to tnko off a little whll the receipts were Irtrge enough to nilml of It. This feeling nmong buyers had th natural rctiult of malting the. market rathe Plow nnd n little lower on the commot run of beef steers. The best kind and sue as were especially attractive sold ubou steady In most cases. The market on butchers' stock was h very much the. same condition as the mar ket on fat steers , the trade being slow and all the way from easier to lOe lower The offerings of co'ws ' und bolters were iiulto liberal , but the demand was of verj fair proportions , and a clearance wn effected In reasonably good season. In the stoeker and feeder division the situation was more favorable to the Interests than \yas the case With fat cat Uf. . The demand was large nnd active mil salesmen hild lib difficulty In ( hiding buyers for their holdings at good strong prices. All the'desirable Ibts were picket lip early.
