Fort Worth Stock Market.
Fort Worth.—Salesmen Friday com-
plained of a slow and unsatisfactory
trade on beef steers, prices being weak
to 10c lower, but other classes of cat-
tle sold with some degree of freedom
on a steady basis. Receipts amounted
to 1,500 head of cattle and 100 calves.
About the only feature was found In
the sale of light calves at $7.75. The
steer run lacked quality and met with
indifferent treatment at the hands of
the buying forces. Hogs were called
steady, about 500 head being on offer.
One sale was made at $7.35. Most of
the run cleared at $7 to $7.25. Pigs re-
mained unchanged, the best classes
going at $6 to $6.50.
