There we're 1O5 loads OF cattle on the mar
ket at East Liberty yards on Monday
against 125 loads the previous Monday.
| Quality of this weeks offerings was below
| laie average. The kind our markets call
| for, namely. smooth, light butcher beeves
were in light supply and were sold at 2Oc
per cwt. higher than last week. In the
offerings were few good Ohio cattle. weigh
| ing 1900 to 1850 pounds, which changed
hands promptly at 81 GO to 81 80. Good
feeders advanced very little for the reasons
that were advanced last week. Good Ohio
| feeders ranging from 200 to 1,1OO pounds in
weight, sold at So % to So 40. Stockers, from
700 to 800 pounds, ranged in price from 81 25 to
81 So
The run of cows and calves was light, and
| last weeks prices were more than maintained.
Veals ranged in price from to &c, and few
| extra fine fresh cows were sold at $50 head,
the best price obtained for some weeks past.
Cattle market was the most satisfactory of
| the season. All offered were taken promptly
at an advance of IL to zoe per cwt. all along the
| line. Not for many months have the East Lib
| erty yards been SO early cleaned up as this
week. Commission men are happy over the
fact that pens are cleaned once again, and
that this was done at the best prices obtained
this fall.

There were II loads of sheep and lambs on
the market Monday and about a half dozen
loads have been received since Monday For
all good grades market was firm at last weeks
prices. while there was little demand for COM
mon and low-grade stock. and on this grade
concessions were of necessity made on prices
of week ago. In the - loads offered, not
more than loads were good. The bulk of
offerings were from Ohio The range of mar
kets was as follows: Prime to extra sheep, DC
