OMAHA LIVE STOCK.
Cattle.

Friday, April 12, 1889.
A careful examination of the prices will
not show much change in the market, but
still there was an easier feeling in the trade.
Everyone bought freely and the yards were
about cleared by midday. The dressed beef
and shipping steers sold at u range of 50 45tl
40, the latter price being paid for bunch
of heavy but not strictly prime cattle. The
great bulk of the beef cattle sold at g. SEQ
$780, Butchers stock was not very plenty
nor anything extra as to quality. The prices
were virtually the same as were paid yester-
day for the same kind of stuff A very con.
siderable proportion of the COW stun sold at
81 IO(a2 90. Good feeders sell quite readily
at 300, while those which have been corned
little bring as high rs S3.25, The very light
cattle, which could hardly be called anything
but stocIers, sell from 81. 10 up TO $500, ac
cording TO quality and style.
