CATTLE Arrivals were very light today
and that fact seemed to have a good In-
Iluence upon the market , which was in very
fair shape , nud as a whole there was n
better feellns apparent.
Cornfed steers as well as grass beef ptcer- !
were in good demand and the market VVIIH
.active nnd strong Holders found no dllli-
culty in unloading at prices that were en
tirely satisfactory Everything changed
hands in a very short time after the mar
ket opened The prices paid vero Ju1/
about the same as prevailed on yesterday
market , there being no material change in
*
me iiuernui.
There were not many iresh stockcrs or
feeders in the yards today , but there were
plenty of cattle in the hands of speculator
later The feeling seemed to bo a little
better owing to the light arrivals , and the
cattle that were of desirable quality
brought firm prices , and in some cases luc
more than yesterday. The country demand
seemed to be fair and quite a good many
cattle were sold before the close Repre
sentative sales ;
