LIVE STOCK.

RECEIPTS of cattle at the stock yards are i'm
proving both in numbers and IN condit ION
While the arrivals are not fully up to the de-
mand. there is better feeling displayed among
BUYERS with a settled conviction that prices VIII
be fully maintained during the summer. The
shipments continue, but dealers often are com
PEELED to wait two or three days TO secure enough
to make It profitable to send north. II has been
predicted by those who are exporting TO Eu-
rope that prices would recede about this time
but as yet, there is no evidence OF such result
and good cattle bring about the usual figures in
all northern markets. Mutton sheep are coming
n quite freely and those in the pens show an
Improvement over those that were offered
ia few weeks ago. Spring lambs are not
plentiful, and command high prices
Veal calves are scarce and are barely sutilcien
to supply the local takings OF the city. Hogs are
fully up to all the requirements OF butchers, ana
the demand continues light Horses.aponies
and mules are eagerly taken at good hgures
