CATTLE Thero wern bis nlinnt ns mnnv
cnttlo hero today as yesterday, but packers
did not rcem to have ns heavy orders as
they huv bud for the last two days. Tho
demand for beet steors was particularly
llcht. and ns a result thn market wim very
slow and lower. Somo of the best bunches
mat just happened to suit the buyers wero
picked up early at prices that wero not
far from a nickel lower, but nsldo from
that class of cattle thn mnrket could
safely be emoted a dime lower. Thn cro.it.
est decllno was on tho medium kinds that
aro selling from $4.25 to $4.75. In somo cases
tnat class or cattle were very hard to novo
today at any nrlce. nnd sellers freuuontlv
had to take off fully 15c before they could
find a buyer. Tho market was slow from
start to finish, nnd tt was lato before tho
pens wero cleared.
Tne cow mnrKct was 111 rainy goon snapo
today. Good stuff found ready sale at Just
about yesterday's prices, Canners nnd
medium Erndcs. however, wero u llttlo dull
and around a dlmo lower. Thero has been
trood sunnlv nil tho week of tho less
desirable kinds, so Hint packers nre pretty
well supplied.
Hulls and stags sold steady to a little
easier today In sympathy with tlie weak
feeling on other kinds of cattle. Calves
held Just about steady.
Tho stocker and feeder trndo did not
show any change today, tho demand being
ruiiy enuni to mo supply. Aiiyining at an
good sold early nt fully yesterday s tiuo
tntions. but tho common stuff did not movo
ns rapidly. Stock calves on the common
order nre slow sale, but about steady. Tim
demand Is for the better grades ot all
weights, and common cattle do not seem to
bo wanted by the country buyer. Repre
sentative sales:
