fair thir and rough steers, 81 80 to IS 50.
There was an unusually light supply OF
fresh cows Those offered, however, did
not bring any better prices than have pre-
vailed TOR q few weeks past. The highest
price obtained was $50 per head, which was
paid for two good head. Calves were active
and all sold at range Of &c to 61fc per ID.

range for spring limbs was 51f@63zc. There
were no hogs on the market, nor was there

Cause of the Rise.
The advance was due to short supply more
than to any inherent increase of values. With
an equal quantity of cattle on the market. as
for the past two weeks. prices would. no doubt,
be unchanged. There were some 10 loads OF
sheep and lambs on the market, and the open
ing showed few signs of activity
Quality showed some improvement over those
offered last week.
A few punches averaging 80 lbs, from Trum-
bull county, O., brought 80 per lb. This. how
ever was the outside figure and only few
Yearfines varied very littlo in price from old
sheep. The best lambs on the market brought
61fc, and their average weight was 81 lbs. The
range for spring lambs was SIC to SIC per lb.
Markets were slow, and commission men re-
ported that they would be fully satisfied to OBJ
tain last weeks prices. There were "a loads of
hogs on the market this morning. and prices
were firm at an advance of luc per cwt over clos
ing prices Of last week.
