CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET.
THE MARKET

All things considered, the reduction of 75c
@Sl 20 that prices have suffered during the
week under review, is a result 40 more seri-
Gus than might reasonably have been expec-
ted. Had the market below been in never so
healthy n condition, a supply Of $500 head
thrown upon the market here in one week
while there still exists in the East a strong
prejudice against Western Beeves, would Of
itself AVE been sufficient to produce some
thing of a "panicky" feeling. but taken in
connection with the fact that in New York
Boston, Albany and Pittsburgh, values have
deprecated HGAc per 100 rs. there is no Oc-

on the most limited scale, The attendance
OF buyers was smaller than is usual at this
season Of the year, and from no quarter was
there at any time anything like urgency, in
the demand. The offerings were Of good
quality.

prevail before the close of the week. The
arrivals embraced but few droves of really
prime shipping stock, buta number sufficient
10 meet the actual wants Of the trade. Medi-
