Another feature was tpe small amount of leftovers from the previous day, with the current buying foracastlng close to a cleanup. The renewal of the rail strike at Buffalo had no local effect, as that market has been closed to Indlanupolls since April 8. The market was active throughout, with liberal takings for local consumption, the sales of this class In the first two hours being estimated at 5,000. One car averaging 247 pounds brought $15.75. This is about the season of the year when butcher stock around the 250-pound weight usually sells at a premium over the lights and not at a discount of 25 @soc, as at present, and it is predicted that the demand for this class will take care of all on hand In the Immediate future. The average sales of lights for the day were made at sl6. There was an especial demand for roughs, which advanced 25c.

Oue fact which caused considerable comment was that this class sold practically at a par with the Cleveland market instead of from $1 to $2 lower, the change being due to the eastern demand. Some extra choicer* went for butchering at sl6. but the bulk of the top sales averaged $15.50.
