Buyers took hold quite freely and showed a disposition to take everything in sight and thus clear the pens ready for next week. The market on cornfed eteers did not show any particular change, as the few cattle that were offered sold at good steady price, a. compared with recent sales. There was nothing choice In the yards, though, with which to make a fair test ot the market. The cow market was fairly active today and practically everything In the yards was disposed of. The prices paid were fully steady with yesterday, but as compared with a week ago the market Is 3&60c lower, the greatest decline being on the medium claw of cows. Bulls, veal calves and stags also sold at fully steady prices with yesterday and any thing desirable sold without much trouble. There were only a few stockers and feed ers on sale and not many were wanted. Buyers, though, were., looking for a few good heavyweight cattle and those an swering to that description sold at fully steady prices. The common stuff, though, was very slow, a. has been the case all the week and price, on such kinds are consid erably lower for the week. Yesterday there were over 150 cars of cattle shipped to the country, but it has been very noticeable all the week that buyers want ' the better ?rades, no matter whether they are looking or light or heavyweights, and for that rea son there are a good many cattle In specu lators' hands that are of common to pretty fair quality. There were only a few western beef steers on rale today and anything desirable sold without trouble at good steady prices. The common kinds, though, were neglected. De sirable grades of feeder, commanded fully steady prices, but common kinds were slow and weak. Range cows held fully steady all around and a good clearance waa made.
