AT CALVERTON YARDS.
BEEF CATTLE-The offerings this week
were heavily in excess of last week, and
the sales effected Just double the number
then sold. The quality averages very near
ly, if not quite, as good as last week, the
only difference being that the tops last
week were slightly superior. Market &C
tive all through, though prices were off &c,
some few dealers reporting the decline at
less fraction. We quote at 30097 90, with
most sales from 81 75@6 % per 100 lbs.
Baltimore butchers bought some $50 more
cattle than they took last week, and
country demand was more satisfactorily
met.
Prices of beef cattle ranged as follows:
Best So 5O@7 90; that generally rated first
quality SIS 1906 so; medium or good fair
quality 81 T5@5 rs; ordinary thin steers,
oxen and cows So 0094 %. Extreme range
of prices So 00(a7 90. Most of the sales
were from 81 75@6 25 ger100 lbs. The cat
tie received were: 1857 head from Vir-
ginis, l23 from Ohio 62 from Maryland, l1S
from West Virginia, 244 from Kentucky,
$40 from Illinois, and 90 head from Penn
sylvania. Total receipts for the week 1854
head, against 1914 last week, and 1868
head same time last year. OF the offerings
9O2 head were taken bv Baltimore butchers,

ton City dealers, and 1872 to Eastern specu-
lators. Total sales for the week 1,727 head,
against S64 last week, and 1851 head same
time last year.
SwINE-The receipts are slightly in ex.
cess of last week, but the quantity does not
mod a tho pffarinUQ than
as there are fewer superior hogs and more
grassers. The receipts are about equal to
moderately good demand, and prices are
higher. We quote corn fed hogs at ll@
llAc, with few extra at 12c, and grassers
at l0@llc per h net and hard to sell. Re-
ceipts this week 4,l97 head, against 8, S0l
head last week and 4, ASS head same time
last yeas.
SHEEP AND LAMBs.-There is a falling of
in the receipts, as compared with last week,
of nearly 1890, and the quality is not as
good as it WIS then, nearly all the offerings
being of common order. Trade is very
slow, depending wholly upon the home de-
mand, which is quite slack, the decreased
supply being fully equal to and in excess of
the demand. We quote butcher sheep at
3@5h cents, and lambs at 4G5 cents per
pound gross, very few selling at the latter
PAIGE Receipts this week 7,40l head,
against 9,2S7 last week, and 1860 head
