| LIVE STOCK MARKETING past week is regarded
by al the worst of the season, for many years,
for selling dressed beef and the cattle ma ket has
been the dullest and hardest yet experienced. The
| large arrivals during the pre-, e,ious week de-
pressed the market, and butchers bought literally
at the reduced prices and as there was but light
demand for the beef, not more than one half the sup.
ply received this week was wanted. The cOnse
quence is that excepting a few prime and choice
sterrs equired by shop butchers, the buyers put
their own prices ON the cattle, and sellers must
either accept their offers or hold the stock over and
do worse Fair to good steers, Of 6is ia cwt. av.,

shrink a ibs to the gross cwt A few fancy steers
