The market has not been active this week,
though quite rs much so as 1t WAS lsst Week.
Prices are off hale on all grades. Tho quality
averages much moro even Than it did las: week,
there being not near many common Cattle
among the offerings. Some Of tho top Cattle
brought prices equal to the tops OF last "eeE,
but they consisted of few selections. We
quote at Bass per 100 lbs.
Mich Cows-The market is quite dull bu!
little doing Mt retail. We quote at 25s$40 per
head.
Shcep-The supply has been quito light again
this week, barely sufficient to partially nil al
active demand In view Of expected receipts
from East Liberty, no advance on present quo
tations is anticipated, the receipts from that
point being thought adequate for the wants OF
city butchers tor the balance of the week. We
quote at 4s63e per 10 gross, few selling sell at the
latter price. Receipts this week 1877 head.
Hogs-The receipts in point Of numbers have
been only moderate; trade has been fair and
prices we'll maintained. The quality of the Of
terngs is of hardly rs good an average as last
weeks receipts. The arrivals were not quite All
sold out sufficient remaining in the pens which,
with the anticipated arrivals later in the week,
will be sufficient for all demands. Wo quote ut
54s6c per ID net, and few extra u shade higher.
Receipts this woek 1892 head.
