stuff late Saturday that showed - the
desired quality, and so good was the
price obtained r that the trade would
not allow It to become public in fear
or excitins- ail otner snmners. -
While it cannot be definitely stated
what the premium paid was, it is un
derstood to be 10 to IS cent above
former extreme price for the present
season. : .
So rood is the demand In the live
stock market that even ordinary stuff
is not neglected as it was during tne
previous wean. t
