BEEF CATrLk-The market at the open
ing was fairly active, and prices we'll main
tanned, but this did not continue very long;
trade became slow and prices slightly
dropping Towards the close the m arket
became very inactive. Prices fell oil 80
&c, and some dealers accepted greater
decline to effect sales. The quality was
not as good as last week, tops being less
numerous and not as good, with longer
line of common and middle cattle. Prices
ranged from 81 25@6 90, showing differ
ence of 40 cents rs compared with last
week, but the quality accounts for part OF
the variation; most sales were made from
So 75(l5 25 per 100 lbs.
IriCes of Beef Cattle ranged as follows:
Best beeyes 51l@6c; those generally
rated first quality 4A@5Hc; medium or
good fair quality 3A@4Ac; ordinary thin
steers, oxen and COWS 2A@3hc. Extreme
range of prices, 2H@6c. Most OF the sales
were from 3A(G5Ac.
The cattle received were: 1896 head
from Virginia; ZIG from Ohio; l23 from
Maryland; Of from West Virginia; lis from
Kentucky. Total receipts for the week
2.Sll head, against Oil last week, and
1857 head same time last year. OF the Of
ferings $40 head we're taken by Baltimore

and l, 1876 head same time last year.
SWINE.
The offerings are about equal to de-
mand, which may be called fair to good, the
expectation being that nearly all will be
sold out by the close of the day. The quail
ity scarcely equals the not very good offer
lngs of last week, there being rather more
common graSsers and fewer good Western
corn. fed hogs among them. Corn.fed hogs
ranging from It's to $50 pounds, sell
at ll@ll2sc, per pound net, and grass hogs
at 9A@l0AC as to quality, with y to 25c
per 100 off.
Receipts this week. 1850 head, against
4.2GS last week, and 5,276. head same time
one year ago.
SHEEP AND LAMBS.
The receipts are largely in excess of last
week, and nearly as numerous as this time
last year. The quality does not come up
to that of last weeks offerings, good sheep
and lambs being proportionately scarce:
There has been a good demand for good
stock, but common quite dull; the best sold
at an early hour. Little outside demand:
e
lambs at 4G6c per 10 gross. Stock wethers
I@4Hc gross, and ewes 50 O0@3 80 per head.
Receipts this week 5,791 head against ,6i6
last week, and 6,029 head same time last
