This is smaller than a waea ago and the smallest of any Monday since the., firsts Monday in April and smaller than the corresponding day a year ago by 1,000 head. Advices from ' all other selling points were very discouraging, indicating a sharp decline in cattle all along the line. At this -point, however, receipts being so light, with the demand so fair, prices were r.ut only well maintained but If anything were strong as compared with last week's close. - With so few cattle in sight it only took buyers a short time to clean up offerings and the yards were deserted at an early hour for the .want of more cattle to sell. Among the offer ing waa one bunch of twenty-one head of good, well finished heeves that sold at $9.20, the highest ever paid on this market. , Other kinds, ot cattle, suoh as cows heifers, etc.,- sold at good steady, and In some cases at strong prices. - From a teller's . standpoint tne market was in a most . satisfactory condition, the only cause for .complaint being the. light receipts.- :...':' Quotations on cattle:.

Only seven leads of stock were received, including two load of Utah ewes and lambs that were nothing to brag about, and packers seemed In take very little interest in the supply m a whole. One reaso.i for buying Indiffer ence -existed in the generally comhioi, character of offerings, praetioally every thing on sale being mixed and unattrac tive. Odds and ends sold at the usual hit-and-miss flaures. but Drices ruled gen erally steady and trading covered most of tne morning betore pens were compieiei cleared. Strictly choice fed lambs, minus fleece, were apparently in pretty good demand around $7.65, with spring Iamb selling at 88 and less. There were no well-finished sheep on sale. " , Business in .feeders was a little larger than recently, but country buyers arc still In a waiting mood and the demand was by no means broad.
