cows AND CALVES,


The demand for mich continues moderate ex
cept for very prime quality, which, being in limited sup
ply, are firmly held, and command high prices ranging
from $50 to s75 per head-only now and then sale at
the outside price, however There were few on sale
to-day Of any description nearly the whole number having
been sold during the latter part Of last week and the
beginning of this week We noticed very decided i'm
provement in the condition Of the offerings and there are
in reality very few cows offered which do not rank as
high as ordinary, though few offered and taken ut
$50 and some below that price Cor this description
there is little or no inquiry The total receipts all the

VEAL CALVES.
With fair receipe and the extreme low prices OF beef
cattle combined the market has been rather dull and the
extras only have met with anything like prompt sale
The market continues TO be unfavorabv affected by the
large receipts Of beef cattle, and buyers will not nav
MORE matter how good the offerings nav be- Tho
supply however, consisted mainly Of inferior to ordinary
for which there is but limited inquiry at low rates
We noticed some very prime offerings at Chamberln's
and elsewhere this morning, which brought full &C. per
pound, but inasmuch they altogether better than
the general run Of first quality, do change our quo
ations The total receipts att the yards for the week
and last week were as follows

SHEEP AND LAMBS.
Win increased receipts the market has been unusually
heavy for inferior and ordinary offerings and prices have
further receded on the average though the range much
the same The very best selections have been selling Mt
Sc SO per head and very many the best qualities have
found slow sale, but at firm prices others however have
not brought equal to the paying prices Of last Wcdnes
day The reports from country districts are to the effect
mat there still exists plentiful supply, and heavy receipts
are looked Tor during the entire fall months. Many
Kept the present week for fear Of flooding the markets.
Ihey are within few hours drive Of the city, and may
be brought IN at any time during the coming week when
u rs ikcly they viii command full as high prices as they
would to-day, and meet with ready sale The total

Sales have been readily effected at our outside quotations

do not complain Of any material drag. The yards were
in filthy condition, however, and the unfavorablc
weather rendered them still Disgusting However
