thronpbout Prices at wholesale were a
fraction higher than last week, and retail
prices in the beginning were little hlgh-
err but the advance was soon lost ana quo
tations before the close were generally lSc
lower than last week. The average quallty
of the offerings was better than last week
the tops being as good, with more medlum
and good cattle, and fewer common among
the offerings. Prices ranged from 81 759
6 1917, with most sales from l2R@5 %
per 100 lbs.
Prices of beef cattle ranged as follows:

l.42O sold to country dealers, and IT'S to
eastern spectators. Total sales for the

Syine-There has been a marked decline
in prices since last Monday, and at the
figures quoted to-day the market is firm,
the shrinkage in values resulting also in
the natural falling off in offerings as COM
pared with last weeks receipts. The quail
ity is like that of last weeks offerings.
The receipts were chiefly from West Nlr-
gnia and Ohio. We quote at 9@lOc per
IL net, with few extra at a shade higher
figure. Receipts this week 1916 head
against S53S last week and 94lS same time
last year.
Sheep and Lambs There has been no
outside demand this week, and butchers
are buying very slowly, as not many are in
need of stock, so that the market has been
rather dull. The quality is not of as good
an average as last week. We quote butcher
sheep at S65c, and lambs at 49515c per 10
gross Stock Sheep-Ewes at So 2593 50
per head. and wethers 3A@4Xc per Id
gross. Receipts this week 1851 head
against 4, O40 last week, and 5 ,254 head same
time last year.
