BEEF CATTLE.-The market has eX-
hlbited no new feature, worthy of
note, since our last report, unless it
be that there was slightly increased
demand for prime shipping Steers,
IN consequence of which firm er feel
ing obtained, and prices ruled, per-
haps, shade higher. There is how
ever. not the slightest Improvement
in common and inferior grades, but
on the contrary, the general feeling
is, if possible, more depressed, and
the market for these descriptions has
at no time offered poorer inducements
to drovers. The demand, as hereto
fore, was confined chiefly to prime
sh ipping beeves, fat butchers Cows,
and good stock Steers, and these
were n fact, about the only grades
inqdire q ior. The day was not un-
favorable for operators but there were
comparatively few buyers in attend
ance, and of the 1900 head on sale,
but about 400 head found purchasers.
These were divided between Ship
pers, Feeders, and city butchers, at
prices ranging from Saa0M4OO for
inferior to common mixed lots, 425(0r
300 for medium butchers stock, and
medium stock cattle, to good smooth
stock steers, and good fat cows, and
s5.5OG6.5l for good to choice ship-
ping steers, averaging from 1908 to
1860 lbs.
HoGs.-The market opened quiet.
Buyers were holding off, and demand
ing & reduction of 25(d5Oc, holders
were firm in their views and would
not yield, ana up to ten o'clock COM
parativetly little was accomplished in
the way of sales, but later in the day
a compromise was patched up, and a
fair business was transacted at de-
cline of 15(G25c per 100 lbs. About
$500 head were taken, at prices rang
ing from $550M5.S5 for common
rough uneven lots, and S6.00(a6. 80
for fair to choice Hogs, averaging
from 200 10 $50 lbs. A few sales
were made in the morning at 6.55(G-
6.65, though the great bulk of the
sales were taken at and within the
range Of S6.00@635. The offerings
were pretty evenly divided betw cen
shippers and packers. The market
closes quiet with number left over
unsold.
Dressed Hogs were dull, with light
sales at .1d@4c all round.

Bangor, Maine, November 90
The reasons given by the WOODEN
manufacturers for the closing up of
their mills are, that the wool costs
more in the original state than the
manufactured goods sell for IN the
open market. Commissions also en-
gross five per cent. Cash sales COM
mand discount Of four per cent,
while the government duty on the
gross amount of sales is FIVE per cent,
Dye stuffs and oils are likewise heav-
lily taxed. Labor 10 high, and goods
sold at the present time command
only about two thirds their actual
value. Although many Of the fac
tories have already stopped working,
the glut of goods is still felt to be ex-
cessive, and other mills must inevita-
bly, follow the course of events and
close up until the dawn of better
times.
