You may shave yourself and think Yesterday's market in beef steers iwas active, with prices ranging from 25 to 55 cents higher, which was the first real Upturn the market has had for about a month. Buyers had to step lively to get in at all on the sup ply, which was sold out in the early morning hours. All killers seem to bo in need of immediate supplies. While there were no strictly fat steers in the entire run, with the exception of one head at 10.50; they are quoting prime hard grass steers from $10.25 to $10.60; four loads of very good Cali fornia steers brought $10.00, which sold about 25 cents higher. Several loads of very good yearling steers although not fat brought $9.25 to $9.50, ' ordinary and medium steers brought the biggest advances for the day, most of which sold 50 cents high er, with one sale fully 55 cents higher. Sales on these grades ranged from ,$8.00 to $9.00. Demand for killers did not seem to want and prices were 1 fully steady with a week ago, and in many cases 25 cents higher, that is, . on fat stuff. The best cows sold from $8.25 to $8.75; with a few choice heif jers going at $9.00. Thin dairy toed stuff, of which there was quite a 'spread yesterday, got only steady bids, prices ranged from $5.00 to $7.00. There were only a few thin I bulls on the market, with very little I demand and steady prices. Best heavy bulls selling from $7.00 to $7.75. Hogs. With the smallest Monday run of hogs in years on the market yesterday it did not seem to have any effect on prices. All the sellers could do was to get a steady bid. Demand contin ues very light. Several loads of prime hogs brought $15.25 for the bulk of good hogs. Packers were not willing to give over $15.00. Pigs and grass hogs are still being cut very hard Just Arrived 4? ? ? f? ff?
