BEEF CATTLE.
The offerings this week show some i'm
provement in quality over those OF last
week, the tops being somewhat superior
and shorter line of middle and common
cattle being features in the market. Trade
was trifie more active than last week and
prices a shade higher for tops when quality
is taken into consideration, the actual fig

and common cattle showed a greater prac-
teal advance. Prices ranged from 3@6Hc,

The receipts are light and the demand
medium TO good. The quality averages
fully as good as it did last week. Prices for
good Chicago corn hogs, ranging in weight
from 175 to $50 gross, sold for l1(912c, few
of the best at the latter price. Common
grass hogs sold for l0@llc, with extra
