East Liberty Market.
There were 100 loads of cattle on the market
at East Liberty yards this morning, against Y
loads last Monday. About one-han of the
offerings we're from Chicago and Indiana The
balance were country cattle from the near
Western States. General quality was a fair
average. There were no prime heavy steers
offered, and the run of light. tidy butcher cat
tie was very short. The latter grade are what
drovers term HANDY beeves and of this grade
there has been a scarcity for some weeks past
There were more than enough !, 200-b beeves of
a fair to good quality on the market to-day but
not enough primes of this weight to meet de-
mand.
There were l9G head of cattle on the market
at Woods Run yards this morning. of which
160 were Chicago, the balance from Ohio
There were two loads in the offerings weighing
l6O0 MS and over which were called prime.
Markets were duh, but all were sold at a range
of "a to &c per h. There were 395 sheep and
lambs on the market. Sheep sold from i1&c to
SIC; yearllngs from sc to &c, and spring lambs
from 05z to &c per b. There we're no hogs
offered Until cooler weather swine will not
be brought to Woods Run yards, as there is no
demand at this season of the year.
Buyers were present in larger force than
usual, but were slow to take hold. Markets
opened slow at a decline of 5ll5c from prices
of last Monday, and there was fair prospect
that even greater concessions would be neces-
sary in order to Unload low grade stock. Only
prime light butcher stock held up close to
prices Of a week ago. The markets demon
strated the truth of what was said in last Mon
days report, namely. hat the advance then was
altogether Que to light run ana not to any in
herent improvement in values. Prices to-day
are about where they were two weeks ago.
There were about dozen loads of sheep and
lambs on the market this morning. and prices
were from Is to % cents better than last week.
A few punches of sheep weighing over 100 h..
according TO report, brought 50 20. These
were, however, very fancy, and outside the gen.
eral range Of markets. The number Of hogs on
sale was rs loads. and markets were dull, with
- 30 TO 81 per cwt as the range.
Top prices at Chicago this morning were So IS
20 81 90, according TO advices received by one
Of our packing rrms from their agent there.
