REMARKS.
Cattle-Beef cattle this week were confined
mostly TO western, the generality OF which were
OF good grade. The hear-say report is that the
stock cost higher at Chicago I; this is conjectcre
but II they did cost higher IL does not always
follow that cattle Will be higher here upon ar
rival. We judge that there was a littls better
feeling on choice cattle, and prices firm. The
market closed out hard last week on Wednesday
at Brighton, but the trade for beef was fair in
the city on Saturday, which helped the sale OF
cattle to-day only few loads OF CRASHED
cattle In market. o 4 Taylor sold IA two and
three year old steers and heifers from TaSc u

yer at TiSc live. Il ID Himball had 20 steers at
Ic average 1856 lbs. j w Taylor bought II head
a head at &c.
Sheep and Lambs-The only plausible reason
that laved the sheep market this week from
being total failure, as far as keeping prices
anywhere near what they cost was the light
ness OF the supply, there being considerable less
than one-half the number from the north. These
were taken by butchers. Old sheep were very
near NC higher, and lambs that were not pre-
yiously contracted for were firm at last weeks
inquire, veal calves are not quite as plentyAt
market. The supply Will probably be light
through this month, as farmers are busy hay
Ing. o Taylor sold 50 yesrlings, average 6Obs
erage 0shs at &c, BFWood sold 81 old sheep at
4Ao. o Kimball sold 1905 lambs at lOAc, aver
age b6ibs.
Poultry-Prces on live poultry have not varied
essentially from last week. The call Is light,
and an advance In prices Is not at all probable;
supply light. Best grades OF fowl lie medium
lots lec ordinary i6c,
