The r. n of cattle at East Liberty was the
ightest for a number of weeks, and not more
than one-half that of last week and the week
before This sharp decline in receipts had a
stimulating effect trade, and prices ad-
vanced fully l0c all along the line. For two
weeks past supplies of cattle for local trade
have been far in excess of demand. This week
they are much below demand.
Sheep and hogs al East Liberty are fairly
steady at last weeks prices.
