At the opening of East Liberty cattle
market or Monday morning there were 1876
car losds on sale. Later on in the day there
were Is loads added to the opening, making
= total Of $50 loads. As to quality of offer
ings, there were more common and good
heeves than the late average and fewer med;-
nm cattle. While there were no strictly
prime cattle offered, there were 20 or 80
loads of good Ohio and Indiana beeves
weighing from 1900 to 1,400 tb. The
msjority of good stock offered, were from
Indiana. BUYERS were on hand in tair force,
ready to take all good stock. Supply OF com
mon ard low grade cattle, however, proved to
oe in excess OF demand, and between 70 and 30
loads of this grade were shipped on In hrst hands
Tor want of bayers here.
Good feeders were in good demand. and held
up well to last weeks prices. More than were
offered would Lave found ready sale Stockers
were in lIcut supply, and the few offered were
dull and slow. Markets for fresh cows were
strong and acrYe AT a range of S2o to $40 per
head. The highest price reported for 6eeves
was 81 90. and only few choice reached this
ftglne. All desirable grades sold at strong last
" sek's prices Tidy butcher beeves of light
welG h sold shade higher Than last week, and
nothing that sold was lower than week
ago The time is here when pasture cannot be
depended on, and as a result stock that is not
worth wlBtering will be dumped on TO the
ma -kets for the next few weeks.

The run Of sheep and lambs has been light
this week ard quality in the main poor. There
we're about lC loads or sale Monday. and about
s loads have been received since Monday. Good
stock sold at an advance OF sc per cwt. over
laaL weeks prices. While markets were
stronger all along the line than last week there
wete a few odds and ends Oh the market this
morning begging for buyers. The demand for
mutton seems to be on the wane, and pork is
coming 10 the front The price of hogs this
morning was IS 50. There were only 70 loads
on sale. PhIlacelphias were quoted at 81 20 to
20 s. 50 and Workers al 81 50 TO 81 So Receipts
Ct POgS at Chicago have been very large Tor the
past few days. Yesterday receipts were $1,000
head and to-day 35,0GC. The price this morning
at Chicago was s. 50 to 81 81. The increasing
value of corn viii, no doubt, have the effect of
bringing large quantities of hogs to market in
the immediate future.
