CATTLE-It was the last day of the weolt
amid there were ( luite a goo(1 mmtany cattle
Iii tIme yards , tlte most of them beeves ,
though the offerings of sttick cattle were
lnmger than omm sonic days.
'I'Iio market on fat cattle was mmot what
sellers like to see. II was a Saturday , the
requtremnemmts of buyers were nut &tllflLI'Clltly
very urgent amid ttmey did nut seem to care
for very ninny umnbess they could get them
at Prices that wotmld make it sortie object
for carrylmmg them over Into next weclc.
TIme trade as a whmole mnighmt. be ltmflmmflCti up
as a very slow , dull timid upon tue whole
ummisatisfactory market. Sonme of the mmioSt
desirable of tile htnimd' little cattle miold
quite readily amid In some immstmtmices not
much lower , but the gemmerab market , in
addition to being slow , was lower , lutid thu
heavier the cattle time worse they sold.
Very few cows mind iteifers were on sale ,
not more than seven or eight loads , amid
they brought about the sante vriees its
yesterday. Ihulls , stage , etc. , also sold in
about the same notches as the 11113' before.
Veal calves continue in good tiemmiammd at
hmighi prjtes.
Time cattle market slumring time week has
not been all that could be desireti by the
selling interests and still there Ints hieen a
fair sized demand. In fact tIme dcmammd at
this lOint 1iut been such that Imriees lma't'e
been better maintained tlmamm at time markets -
kets further east and such cattle tms have
gone forward in tlrst hands have generally
lost money. As to values , heavy cttttle
have suffered a decline of 1t315c for time
weelc and on most days have becmm slow
sellers , especially those with large side
brands. handy little cattle , on time other
iiomitl , have been good sellers all the week
amid prices emi that kind are fully as good
as they were at the close of time previous
week , Choice. little heifers lmave nio held
UI ) to about steady prices , but time gemieral
market on cows and heifers is I0.l6c lower
titami a week ago. So few stockers timid
feetlera have been emi sale during tIme week
that it is rather ditllcult to mmtke coin-
1arisons , but it Is mioted that some cattle
that have been lirouglmt irm during the week
have not sold quite so readily ttntl it mmmight
be surmised that If any great miumnber were
on sale time market woimhti lie a little easier ,
Still suclm cattle as have sold have brought
very hmtgk iirices and probably mis good as
last weelc. Itepresentative sales :
