OFFICE OF PITTsBURe DIsPATcH,l
MONDAY. June 80, 1890
The offerings Of cattle at Herr's Island
varied very little to-day from last Monday
in number, but quality was below average,
and markets were slow al shade lower
prices than ruled week ago. Drovers re-
port that prices were q shade higher at CHI
cago, and as they were off here profits must
have been very small, If, indeed, there were
any profits at all. According to the general
view of drovers, this has been q week of loss
to shippers of live stock. A Diamond mar
ket butcher who buys at Hers Island said
to-day: Il bought my beeves this week fully
1Oc per 100 lower than last week, and the grade
bought was l5c better this week than last"
The range of prices was as follows: Best
heavy Chicago beeves IS O5 to IS Is; medium
do, 81 50 to 81 IS; prime lightweights, 81 20 to
81 40; fair to good do, 81 90 70 81 10; common 20
fair thin and rough steers, s. 70 to s. 20 Fresh
COWS were dull and unchanged at SIS 90 to
$40 90 head; calves were good stock at 515c to
&c per pound, and grass-fed bulls. dry cows
and stays were fair stock at 2xc to SIC per
pound.

head, ali from Chicago. They ranged in weight
from ,050 to J. $50 lbs, and IN price from A lzc
to SIC Prices were a shade higher at Chicago
this week than last and lower here, so that
there was no profit to the drover. Markets
were dull at the decline. but stock was all
closed out early in the day. There were 463
sheep and lambs on the market, and trace was
from &C to 51zc; yearlings, 41<c to &c: spring
lambs. SIC to &c per d. There were no hogs on
sale and no demand.
At East Liberty.
There were 10 loads of cattle on the market
this morning against lis loads last week As
our local trade does not call for more than rs
loads, it is clear that the situation was alto
gether in favor of the buyer. In the receipts
were % car loads from Chicago, 10 from St
Louis and the balance were principally grassers
from Ohio. Indiana, Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia. The Chicago and St Louis cattle were
fairly good as to quality, but the balance were
below par.
15Q25c from prices of last week. Heavy weights
were not wanted. Fully 20 loads of heavy
cattle were sent on East in first hands, and
it is probable that more will necessarily
be forwarded in order to find a market Good
smooth hatcher cattle weighing from l. 100 to
l2Gl lbs were sold at range of 81 to 4 25 per
cZ There is no longer any call in this mar
ka or heavy prime beeves, and there were no
rGelpts in this line this week Butchers who
cal in this grade order direct from Chicago.

The same quality would have brought
81 50 last Monday and 81 IS within a few
weeks. There were from II to 15loads of sheep
and lambs on the market this morning. De-
mand was slow at general decline from last
weeks prices. There was little life to trade
and up to 8 o'clock very little stock had changed
hands. The outside price for sheep was Sc,
and lambs ranged from 515 TO &c per n. Year
lings range little in price from old sheep. At
these prices there were few takers at the OPEN
ing OF markets. There were S2 loads of hogs
on the market, and trade was dull at a sharp
decline from last weeks prices A few selected
hogs sold as high as 4c, but the general range
of prices was SS so to So 80 per 100,
