AT CALVERTON YARDS.

BEEF CArTLE-The market has been very
slow to-day and prices shade off, in some
instances &c lower than last week. The
quality does not average as good as last
week, for though there were a number of
good tops among the offerings they were
not as numerous, and the middle grades
more plentiful, including fair proportion
of stock cattle. Prices ranged from 81 80
G6 90, with most sales from 81 OO95 %
per 100 lbs.
Prices of beef cattle ranged as follows:
Best S550G6 20; that generally rated first
quality 81 6219@5 so; medium or good
fair quality So 50G14 62H; ordinary thin
steer, oxen and cows 81 5093 81 u. Extreme
range of prices. 81 50@6 90. Most of the

Maryland; 50 from West Virginia; 90

and 1904 head for the same time last year.
Swine-There is an increase of some 800
head in the receipts over last week. The
quality, taken altogether, is not quite as
good as il was last week. Trade is moder-
ately active and prices, considering quail
ity, but little different from last week.
Fewer hogs sold at the top figures, but this
is chargeable to the quality. Rough sows
and stays sell at SH@9c; other gaades go
92Ic, and few extra at l0c per pound gross.

this week 5,S79 head against 5,3SS last
week, and Ills head same time last year.
Sheep and Lambs.-There is but little
difference in the lumber of offerings as COM
pared with those of last week. Trade is
generally sluggish, as there is but little
outside demand, and butchers are buying
sparingly Good stock sheep are in fair de-
mand.. We quote butcher sheep at 80
Sc, and Lambs at 4@5zHc per ID gross.
Stock Sheep 81 1898 so per head; and
