REMARKS.
With a marked increase in the re-
ceipts over last week, the prices ruling
then have fairly maintained and trade
has been satisfactory in most of the

favorable for a maintenance Of the pres

that If there is auy change prices will
improve. The receipts 10 Saturday were
2,6l5 head, and since then 5000 head
have come in. Prices 4gG5l cts, few,
and those rough ones, selling ut the
