Cows-We quote mich Cows at 30 .S45 per
he.d, and market dull for common Cows.
Sheep and Lambs-1he market is without
material change since last week, and rather
slow in most Of the pens The large increase in
the receipts consists chiefly of Lambs, many Of
which their owners have rcshipped East, being
unwilling to take the prices of this market The
quality Of the Sheep generally is about rs last
week We quote Sheep at 4a54c; a few extra at
SIC per ID gross. Stock Sheep 2aS3 per head.
Lambs 2a$4 so per head. Receipts this week
SIT head.
Rogs-The number of the receipts differ but
little from last week, yet they are quite ample
for the demand, which is generally slow. The
quality is fully rs good as last week, possibly
trlae better. Prices are at least tc Oft, fewer
Hogs selling at the top quotation now than at
the corresponding figure of last week. The feel
ing among dealers, as well as butchers, is that
prices must 20 lower, and this would seem prob
able from the condition of the provision market
and the heavy receipts at the Business centres of
A. NJ No. I'M he
net few very extra at the higher figure. Re
ceipts this week t0GG head.
