CHICAGO LIVESTOCK MARKET.

CATTLE-Falr activity characterized the cat
tie trade to-dny. There wns a better attendance
Of BUYERS than on either Of the preceding days
OF the week, and, while the competition Vas far
from being spirited, u the different classes kept
steadily at work, snd By the middle Of tho after
noon au saye few "odds and ends" had been
about nc higher than on yesterday, OF nearly
10 higher than at the close Of last week. The
stock offered for sale WAS mostly OF the common
to good grades. There we're no extra and few
choice, but the number Of really poor droEes vas
also comparatively small, and the average quality
was fully as good as on yesterday or Mondny.
Local butchers did not take hold very freely, but
their wants we're equal to the supply Of suitable
qualities. The shipping demand Was good, and
favor Of Eastern buyers, at s4.5o@5-0d for COM
mon to medium steers Of from ], ,030 to 1,200 Tbs
average, and at 95.25@5.80 for good to choice
steers averaging from $50 to 1878 lbs: As
showing what we may expect from Nebraska IN
the way OF beef cattle, after her resources shall
have Eccomo more fully developed, mention IL
made Of a bunch OF choice steers shipped from
Nebraska City, and consigned to R. strnhorn d
Co. The average weight OF the drove ESQ headl
was only 1255 ibe, but they we're tat and trim,
finally fell into the hands Of Levi Doud-a
prominent Eastern buyer-at S5.62H. The
cattle we're fed by ;. H. Catron and ". q. Wiley,
who certainly are deserving Of credit as succeas-
full feeders. The market closed steady-
