CATTMO Uocclpts of cattle were liberal
for this market , being larger than yester
day by 1,000 head and larger than a week
ngo. 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. One bunch of western hayfei
