Practically everything was sold and welplied up in good hCiis.in and the general market was millc satisfactory to the sellers. Only ii few loads of cornfed cattle. wer on sale and none of them of as good qualltj as the top cattle yesterday. Buyers did not Ret out very early nnd .the . market al the opening looked as If It mltrht be slow , huti It developed that packers all wanted a few cattle nnd when the market did oper the. trade WHS fairly active at Rood , stt-nd.v prices. As n mutter of course common and Inferior stuff was inclined to bo slow and holders of such did not find It especially easy work iinloadlne. Cows and heifers were In good demand nt peed , steady prices , or possibly at a little stronger prices than prevailed on yester day's mean close. The offerings for the most part changed hands roadlly enough nnd the market closed In good season , v.-ltli everything , old. Bulls also sold nt steady prices nnd the same was true of veal ciilves. Only a very few stockers and feeders were on sale and the market did not show any marked change. There were eleven loads itlrect , to a speculator and other speculators had a few , so tlmt there were after nil suf ficient cattle to supply the country demand , which was of only moderate proportions.
