Prices to-day for Beef Cattle ranged as fol-
lows: Best Bccvcs at OOaS7 81; general
ly rated first quality ut 5 25aS6 90; medium
to good fair quality at 5OaS5 Is; ordinary thin

were from 80 to ST 30 per lOO lbs. To-
tai receipts for the week 1891 head, against 1850
last week, and 932head same time last year. To
last week. and 92l head same time last year.
With somewhat larger supply this week than
last and but little anticipation of much else than
home demand the market opened quite slug
gishly, and maintained the same condition to
the end.
Sheep and Lambs-Th- receipts of Sheep were
much larger than last week, and prices barely
maintained in view Of moderate demand from
Washington and Eastern markets. At the close
scarcely Us much frmness is exhibited as there
was q few days since, as the demand for tho pre-
sent has been fully satisfied, and lower prices are
not improbable in the present state Of the mar
kct. We quote shearcd Sheep at 5a6sc and
wool at GaT!c per ID gross, with few of the latter
in market and demand light. Lambs are in
moderate demand Mt Bass 5Oper head. Receipts
this week 1925 head.
Hogs-Thc receipts arc again on the increase
this week, and prices scarcely rs firm as they
were at the close of our last report Early in
the week the arrivals were quite large, but since
then they have slackened of, the demand in the
meantime being measurably satisfied The mar
kct closes now without any clear indications of
a change for higher or lower quotations, which
will be manifested only when further lnforma-
ton is developed rs to tutuie receipts. We quote
fair to good corn fed Hogs at 55ass 2 25 tail
100 lbs net. Receipts this week eS29 head.
