very uncertain and Irregular sale at that.
No cornfeds have been coming and supplies
have consisted almns entirely of western

itaRs about tht poorest of the season.,
. ., Volume of business In stockera and feed
er has been airly liberal, but prices have
been the most uneven of the season. Cattle

good request and - quotably steady right
along, but trend; of value was lower froiu
tart to finish on' the medium to common
