Trade has been more active to-day than last Mon
day, but prices throughout were oil lsc on the
better grades and Lic on the others, and in some
instances ga y per cent lower figures
cepted to effect sales. The tops were shade be-
ter in quality than those Of last week, and there
was fair number of good butcher Cattle i'll tho
yards.
Sheep and Lambs-Thero is quite full run Of
Sheep this week, and their quality will average
fully good last weeks offerings. Trade is
slow, with outside demand and the butchers
buy sparlngly. We quote butcher Sheep at 2l;;'l
cts, and Lambs at ;}a4t. cts per Id gross. Stock
Sheep $1a2 SO per head. Receipts this week
6154 per head.
Hogs.-Thc receipts, though several hundred
less than last weeks offerings, arc about equal To
fair demand. The quality is hardly as good as
it was last week. there being too many common
Hogs among them, which are not quoted. as
they have to be sold for what they will bring.
We quote at 6a6al cents per lb net Receipts this
week 4403 head.
