The quality of the cattle today was decidedly bette There seemed to be a better demand for beet steers than during the last few days and the market in consequence was strong to 10c higher on such stuff as packers wanted. There was an unusually large number of good beeves on sale, there being agumh!r of loads at $6.00 and on up to Cows and heifers continue In very good demand, the market on that kind of cattle being active to 100 higher than yesterday. The offerings were all taken in very good season In the forenoon. Btockers and feeders partictpated in the neral improvement, being quoted 10c higher and free sellers at that.

In fact, some sales looked 5c_higher and the top $1.15, as against §7.10 yesterday. The market was not very active at any time and it was very evident that most buyers were de- cidedly opposed to seeing any further ad- vance in the hog market today. As a re- sult they were holding back and a good share of the hogs did not sell any better than steady. fter some of the more gent orders were filled the market be. {came less active, closing slow and easier. The bulk of all the hogs s0ld at $6.80@7.00, with the best heavy hogs on up to $7.15.
