CATTLE-The receipts have been the Gghtest
for many weeks, but there was 8 corresponding
falling OF in the demand, 80 that the supply light
as it was, proved sufficient to satisfy the 1egiti
mate wants Of the trade, and the low prices cur
rent last week have no moro than been sustained.
Up to Thursday trade Was sluggish, neither local
nor outside buyers taking hold with any show OF
interest, but later there WIS moro life in the
market, and a somewhat firmer feeling de-
veloped. We have had fewer poor natives and
rough thin Texan cattle than during any Of the
half dozen preceding weeks, but the average was
low, after all, there being comparatively few
droves that would probably. grade above
"good." Sales were mostly within the range Of
s3.oo@5.25, though IS high as s6.oo@6.25 was
in q few instances paid. Inferior natives and
poor Texans sold at s2.5o@2.75; stockers at
92.75@4.25; good butchers COWS aud feshy
shipping beeyes at s4.75@5.25; and choice to
extra grades at $5.75@6.95. There is a STEADY,
fair inquiry for real calves to supply local
wants, at 53.50@4.5o! for common to medium,
To-day trading was fairly nctive for satur-
day, and the prices current on the preceding
days Of the week wsEs firmly sustained.

HOGS-The mnrket opened active this week,
but easy, the excessive receipts destroying the |
confidence Of holders. and making buyers more |
cautious in their movements. Up to Wednes- |
day evening prices had steadily recede1, tho de-
cline aggregating 25@30c Tor 100 lbs On Thurs
0aA taels mss The heavy arrvala 7 head head
we're yardea) the market was stronger, though |
no very decided advance was gained. Fridays |
receipts were light and under a brisk competi- |
hon between local and Eastern buyers prices |
advanced. There is no confidence in tho perma- |
nence Of the prices now current, and |
If Western shippers would avoid repetition Of |
the experiences Of the first half Of the week |
IN the country, with the prices now current here |
as a basis. The object Of buyers in thus run
ming up prices at the close Of the week is OBJ
yious, and should mis1ead no one. The extreme
range Of sales WAS 53.70G@4.50, With most Of the
transfers at 93.80@410.
To-day sales we're effected at S3 90O4.30, but
closing prices we're $3.90@3.95 for common,
S4,00@)4.05 for medium, and $4.10@4.15 for good
to choice. Not all sold and the market may
be quoted weak with downward tendency;
SHEEP-No new features have been developed
IN this market, except that there has been lit
tie more inquiry for fat mutton grades for ship
ment. The receipts continue moderate, and be-
tween local and Eastern buyers the daily arrivals
have been readily disposed Of at 50. 3.00@3.5U for
common thin mixed lots; at S375G'4uo ZOE
medium grades, and at 94.25@5.00 for good to
choice. AL are sold, and the market closed
steady at the above range Of prices'
