CATTLE This market is rather
quiet Snd somewhat dull. We learn
from Eaten markets that cot the
many dull markets that droyers have
encounteed within the past few
weeks. nme was more thoroughly dull
than yesterdays. The heavy receipts.
the inferior quality of the bulk OF
them, anil the bad state Of affairs at
tho East all worked to the disadvant-
age OF holders. and to. clear the yards
it would have been necessary to
slaughtG prices; not one-third OF the
supply bund buyers

shipping grades from 800 to $3.50.

for tho time OF year. and that fact,
taken in connection with tho inferior
