Total 924 13,597 CATTLE For Saturday there was a very large run of cattle . at thla point, forty- elgnt cars being reported In, but they were practically all consigned direct to packers or to the northern range, so that there was really nothing on aale. Receipts ot cattle at this point havs been rather light thla week, there being a heavy falling off aa compared with last week and a still heavier decrease as compared with a year ago. At the same time, other markets, especially Chicago, have had quite liberal runs, so tnat the total supply of cattle on sale during the wee has been Itbersl for this season of the year. The arrivals at this point have consisted very largely ot corn-fed steers and cow stuff on the grassy order, A reature of the week s trade has been the increased run of Texas cattle to southern points, St. Louis especially having had a large run of southern graas cattle. The cattle market from a aeller a point ot view this week has not been entirely satis factory, in that prices have had a lower tendency, while the demand has not beeh nearly so urgent as during the previous week. The influx -of Southern grass cattle had the natural affect of reducing the de mand for the common to medium grades of abort fed natlvea, so that the market on that kind declined steadily for lack ot buying support. At the close of the week the market is 25&40c lower on the general run of beef steers than one ween ago. Strictly good to choice beeves, however, have not suffered thst much, but they ax lot)l6o lower, at least. Cows and belters suffered In about the same degree as beef steers and for about the same reason. Texas cattle being more plentiful, there was not so much Inquiry for grassy cows and the market on the general run of common to pretty decent cow atuff is 26fi4oc lower at the close of the week. Strictly good dry-lot cows and heifers, on tbs other hanu, are not over 10gf4x lower, Receipts of stockers and feeders were very moderate throughout the week. At the same time there was no very great de mand for that claat of cattle, still there was sufficient Inquiry to keep the moderate supply pretty well cleaned up and prices for the wsek show comparatively Utile change.

The total receipts for the week have betn very large, showing' a heavy gain over the lib eral run laat week and being almost twice as large as a year aiin. The arrivula hsve consisted almost entirely of fed stock, there being no grassers of any conse quence, at least very few. The market has been lust the reverse of last week. It will be remembered that the trade was active and prlcca higher every day last week, so that at the close an ad vance of 81.00(91.26 was reported tor this point. This week the tendency has bivn In exactly the opposite direction. The trade has been slow and prices lower prac tically every day, so that at the close of the week hnlf of lat week's advance nnd more too has been wtyed out. In other words prices at the close of the week are around 50c lower than last week with some of the common to medium kinds ahowing 7fic loss. The cause for the rapid decline Is to be found In the fact that the outlet for mu.ton at the big eastern consuming cen ters has rrove very disappointing. Con sumers for some reason or other did not take the high priced mutton and packers round their coolers well rilled with meats for wblch the outlet was limited. Naturally the demand for sheep and lambs fell off very heavily as compared wtih the previous week and with the demand reduced In the face of liberal receipts, not only hen, but at other market points as well, prices naturally declined rapidly with the result noted above. The future of the markot la very uncer tain. No one seems able or willing to venture an opinion. In fact the trade Is all at sea. With the country refusing to buy expensive meats In anything like liberal quantities It seems to be a mom difficult task to maintain high j.rtces on live stock for any length of time.
