At Woods Run and East Liberty.
At the Woods Run yards there were 2l5 head
of cattle on the market this morning, all from
Ohio. Prices ranged from So to Sc per h. the
latter price being paid for load of l. l6O0pound
oeeyes; which were reported prime, There
were 522 head of sheen and lambs on sale. The
range for lambs was 81 TO 655c, the latter for
Few extra. Sheep sold as high as SIC. 1t was
claimed that the best sheep offered at these
yards this year were on sale. There were 1877
mead. averaging 100 pounds. The number of
hoes on the market we're 222 head, and retail
price 81 35 to 81 So
At the East Liberty yards there were about
10 carloads of cattle en- the market this morn
-ns, against about 200 loads last Monday. The
General quality was scarcely up to average
and there is no longer any market for this high
EraGe. In the offerings were from u to l5 loacs
81 good cattle. mostly from Ohio, weighing
from 400 to l. 500 pounds A large proportion
OF the remainder was common and low-graGe
stock.
There was scarcity of buyers and on this
account Il was found difficult to advance
prices though an attempt IN that direction was
made by holders. Commission men claimed an
advance Of l0U20c over last week, but this is to
be accounted for by the fact that the bottom

and very firm at last weeks prices As this
grade suffered nothing from last weeks de-
cline, so II gained little OF nothing this week
Stcckers were plenty and dull at last weeks
prices. The run of sheep and lambs was light,
there being only about dozen loads sale
few good tina: were offered held up well to last
weeks prices, and choice lambs were shade
stronger.
The top price for sheep was Sc and lambs &c,
and very few reached these figures. Choice
sheep would have brought SIC but none were
offered. Receipts Of hogs Ihe largest of the
season. There were 80 loads the market
