With & great many wmore cattie on sae at Chicago than usual the market there broke badly @nd ear.y reports were decidedly discouragiog. That naturally had & weakening erfect | upon the marxet at this point. Lhe trade on beel sieers for the reasons noted above were siow and the morming was well advanced before very much busi- ness was developed. Still the more de- siraple killers kept selling and in tne end pretty miuch everything was cieaned up. The prices paid were weak to lbc lower as_ocumpared with yesierday. Cows and heifers were in fair demand, but the irade was still siow to' lbe lower than yestevday. The feeder and stocker trade continues y dull and there is no !mmediate pros- of an improvement o 'long as weather conditions remain as at present. Prices are weak every day, but fortunateiy nly a few cattie of that description are soming.
