LIVE STOCK AND HOGS.

The cattle market in the past few days has
disclosed several noticeable features. few
loads of grass cattle have arrived-the first
of the season-and leading butchers took
hold OF them immed ately. The grass season
can now be considered fairly inangurated.
The grass cattle that have arrived have
shown good quality, gave general satisfaction
and brought good figures. No new strength
was perceptible for corn-fed cattle, had there
been any on market Prospects for imme-
diate future outlook are very favorable for
all good grades of grass beeves, as a very
light supply is on market or in hands of the
butchers. Grazing cattle, such as thin steers
and heifers Of 600 to 500 pounds weight, are
in active demand, and several buyers of this
class of stock, from the grass regions of Ken
lucky and Tennessee, have located here, and
take all such cattle at good figures.

beeves, 900 to 1850 pounds, 5@5Ic per
