CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

CHICAGO. August 14.-ISpecal Telegram
TO the BEE. l-CATTLE-The market to-day
was nominally steady. The few cattle here
were not enough to draw out competition,
and yet buyers who wanted few cattle
seemed willing to pay about steady prices.
Some good cattle sold at S4.S5, but there was
no assortment of good cattle in the pens.
Some very tidy 1900 pound steers sold readily
at S4.75, while some heavier cattle sold
with difficulty at 4.3716. Weight really cuts
but little figure. Plump, fat steers, averag
ing 100 to 1900 lbs, can be sold for more
than !, 400 ID stock of coarse quality. There
has not been week this year when the cattle
market was so uniformly steady as it has
been the last week. Price have ad
vanced somewhat on handy, desirable kinds,
though the general market has simply been
steady and strong, with a good healthy
feeling. The range cattle receipts to-day
consisted of less than 800 Texans, making
for the week 1890, against $3.50 last week
and $500 more than received during any
week this season. OF northern rangers
to-day there were none. for the week 6,G62.
against 2,623 last week. being decidedly the
largest week of the opening season. The
market this week has been strong and active
as q rule, closing lOa95c higher than last
week. A lot OF l26 Indian Texans, averaging
10O2 lbs, sold at S3.15: II cars of the Rock
ing Chair, brand sold at S4.25 and averaged
about $50 lbs.
HoGs-The market was rather slow, but
there was little or no change in prices. The
demand for light sorts was somewhat better,
and suitable lots We're a shade higher. Fair
