CATTLE.-The market this week has been much
more active, at least in the beginning, than it
was last week, though the activity did not con-
tinue to the close. Prices q little frmer
and some dealers thought Il c. higher than they
were last week. This was perhaps the fact to some
extent, but not with all dealers. The quality was
not OF as good an average as it was last week
there being more common cattle, and while there
were as good tops there were not MS many OF them
among the offerings. We quote at 90 a SIS so per
100 lbs

and prices shade oh,most OF the sales being at ~
to $40, only a few selling at $45 per head
Prices this week for beef cattle ranged as follows

sales were from 90 to 81 ISL per 100 lbs.
Sw1NE.-There has been fair supply on the
market this week, and trade with the increased
numbers has been fairly active. The quality OF
the hogs generally was as good as was that or the
offerings last week, but there was an increase IN
the number of the grass hogs over last week. me
receipts before Saturday amounted to about l9oo
head and since then about 5000head. We quote at
da6A cents with most sales at 81 6A cents per ID
net. Receipts this week a878 head.
SHEEP AND LAMBs-Ihe market for sheep and
lambs, we'll as for stock sheep, has been fairly
active, both for home and eastern interests The
quality OF the sheep is not as good as IL was last
