ihIs i3i driven In lrOm Washington, Butler and
Green counties, and 80 lrOm KaSt Liberty Yards,
and We have III all 40 considerably below the
number on sale last week. The 0hertngs were
as a general thing Of hC'l0wef grades, real good
cattle being scarce, and much larger number OF
ihiS DartCillAr gradC could hAv0 been sold Light
and medium cattle were abundant and dull, nS
tho SupDly was In excess Of tho dOmand. and the

exception OF really prime lattlp, the market was
no better than last week, Notwithstanding the
falling Off In tho receipts and as already inttnA.
