WEDNESDAY. April SO, 1890. {
The cattle market opened up Monday
manning with about 100 loads offered, an ex-
cess of IS loads over the previous Monday;
and on account OF this liberal supply buyers
had the field. Prices at once dropped from
15c to Csc per cwt on all grades excepting
stockers and feeders, which were in short
supply. The receipts were principally from
Chicago. Omaha and other far Western
points. Quality was a good average, but
there were no prime beeves in carload lots
offered.
Markets were badly demoralized all
Monday morning, until some relief was
found by the shipment of about Is loads
East in first hands. After this shipment mar
kets steadied up at the lower prices
On Tuesday the run was very light not being
above four loads and markets partially recov-
cred the lost ground. The advance on Tues
day for good butcher stock was equal to l0c on
the lowest point touched on Monday. The
greatest decline was on common and low grade
stock, and this grade gave least response to the
upward movement Of Tuesday. The best stock
on the market did not bring over 81 20
One commission man reported cattle sales at
81 IS, which would have quickly brought S4 so
last week. Another reported sales of two loads
lieved to be the highest price reached In the
Liberty yards this week Desirable feeders,
weighing 500 to !. 100 Bs., were steady at last
weeks prices, the range being S11 to &c per h.
A few of the lower grades of fat cattle were
bought for feeders. There were some l,20O
calves on the market yesterday, and the move
ment was slow at range of S54 to DC per n.
Sheep, Lambs and swine.
Sheep and lambs have ruled strong at last
weeks prices. The rur for the week has been
about "a loads. The season has passed for
wool sheep in this market. There were none of
this class on sale. Some Chicago wool sheep
which arrived yesterday were sent on in first
hands to Philadelphia for the reason that only
clipped sheep are wanted in this rket.
There were no extra lambs on the market.
The range for the best offered (clipped) was4@
sc p d. Supply of hogs has been light and
markets held up fairly well to last weeks prices
on Monday, with 81 60 as the top price. Tuesday
markets were slow at shade lower prices.
There were only about loads on sale this
morning, and no improvement. In Chicago to-
day, according to advlces received by one of
leading pork packers the top price was 81 90
The demand from buthcers is growing very
light owing TO warm weather.
