CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET.
There was not much improvement
to note IN the condition of the stock
trade to-day. Currency is still scarce,
and although the prospect is brighten
ing, country shippers would do well
to refrain from sending forward much
stock for some time yet. The orders
issued by the railways and resolutions
passed by the Stock Yards men had
the desired effect Of checking the re-
ceipts, the arrivals since Saturday be-
ing only $50 hogs and 459 sheep.
CATTLE-There was no fresh re-
ceipts to-day and the market through
out ruled dull and nominal. Shippers
were not buying, the advices from the
East being unfavorable, while the con-
dition of the money market would not
admit of liberal operations. We quote
shipping cattle nominal at $4.5O@5.75
for fair to extra choice grades. Stock
cattle quiet at $2.75@3.S5. There was
light local demand, and sales were
reported at $2.50@4.5O for common to
good lots. The market closed dull and
easy, with the pens full of unsold cat
tie.
HoGs-As compared with Saturday
there was no change to note in the
market. The receipts were very light,
only $50 head, but there was no lack
of stock for shippers to buy had they
been SO inclined. Boston buyers took
hold to fair extent at $4.2O@4.3O for
poor to choice heavy, chiefly at $4.25.
Light weights sold at $4.2O@4.45 for
medium to very choice lots, but sales
above A.4O were very few. The mar
ket closed dull, with about $4,000 hogs
in the pens unsold.
SHEEp-There was no demand from
any source, and the market was dull
and weak at.$2.75@4.50 for common to
choice grades.
HORSE AND MULE MARKET.
The receipts of horses and mules
have not been large, and the supplies
now on hand are only moderase, but
the continued unsettled condition of
monetary affairs exercise an unfavora-
BILE influence generally. The follow
ing are the ruling prices:
