CHICAGO CATTLE MARKET--The following
remarks of the Chicago Tribune in relation to
the hive stock market there last week. show
that the condition there was almost exactly
similar to that which marked the live stock
market at Buffalo
The receipts of beef cattle for the
week Just closed aggregate 1886 head,
against lO,l66 head received last week,
an increase OF 1920 head. For the cor
responding period in 1868 the arrivals
were 8524 head, or 5S62 head less than
received during the past week. With n
supply of $4,000 head thrown upon the
market at this season Of the year in o
single week, aud the major portion of
this enormous supply composed of COM
mon, half-fatted steers, poor cows and
Cherokee cattle, the decline of 75c and
500 per 100 lbs, that has been suffered
on these descriptions of stock was a. re.
suit no more serious than might reason.

good marketable stock, though liberal,

an average decline of not more than 25C

slight advance on these figures. For
common and medium descriptions there

compelled to accept such prices as buyers
were generous enough to offer, which, as
the reported sales from day to day have
indicated, ruled fully 75c and 81 90 be-

cows, scrawny steers, "threc-cornered'
oxen, Texas and Cherokee cattle, have
been in excessive supply, and dull and

the market with $4,000 beeves, at thi,
season Of the year, when the prevalence
