CATTLE-Offerlngs of beef steers
light , but advices from Chicago were not
overly reassuring and buyers a * a rule
started out bidding ' .owcr prices. However ,
they wanted the cattle nnd , while the trade
was a little slow at lirst , everything sold In
ffood season and at prices not materially
different from yesterday. 'The general mar
ket Is now Just about 15fT20c lower than
last week.

Cows and helfcrn , as usual , were In mod
erate supply and the market for that
reason did not show any material change ,
values being Just about steady with yester
day. Veal curves brought Ilrm prices.
Some who had bulls on sale thought the
market on that kind of cattle was not
qulto so good ns It was a few days ago.
Not many stocker& and feeders were In
slzht and the market did not show mucli
chancre There was , however , considerable
demand from the country and really desir
able thin stockers without doubt would
have brought good steady prices. Warmed-
up cattle do not appear to be in very
active demand , as the condition of the beet
market Is not such as to stimulate free
buying : . Representative sales :
