OFFICE OF The PITrsBURG DISPATCH, !

car loads of cattle on sale against rs last
Monday, and 80 Monday before last. The
average quality of the offerings to-day was
very low. There we're no heavy prime
beeves on sale in car load lots, and very few
primes of light weight. In the receipts
were nearly a dozen car loads of dry COWS,
the largest in this line since last summer
There wore not more than 10 per cent of the
cattle on to-day's market which could in
largest charity, be called good butcher
bceves.
As a result of the large run and the low
quality of offerings the markets opened slow
at a decline of 25c to SOC per cwt. from last
weeks prices, when the top of the market
was Sc 90 per cwt Though the supply of
light tidy butcher beeves weighing 1000 TO
1850 lbs was Highland there has been of late
4 strong market for this grade-the markets
We're so demoralized by the large run of
poor cattle that even the good suffered
more or less from the weak markets. The
range for good butcher beeves from ], 100 to
1850 in weight was S. 20 to IS 40 Fresh
COWS were not in as large supply as last
Monday and those of high grade were par
tionlarly scarce. Prices are practically the
the same, the range being SIS to $40 per
head Calves also held up fairly well to fast
weeks range, which was SC to &c per lb for
vealers
Sheep, Lambs and Porkers
SHEEP AND LAMBs-There were26 loads on
sale at the opening, and markets opened
Slow at q decline OF l5@S5c per cwt., from
highest prices a week ago. Top price of
sheep was &c, and yearling lambs are now
QUotable at about the same price as sheep,
spring lambs having taken the formerplace
OF yearlingS.
Hoes-The number on sale was about u
loads, against % loads last Monday. Phila-
delphias were fairly active at a IS to s. 95,
Il . C0
cugo top price this morning WAS s. 60 ac-
cording to advices received by one of our
leading packers from his buyer there.
The demand from butchers has fallen off
very much since the advent of warm
weather, and packers are disposed to buy
spaI1ngly, in the faith and hope of lower
prices.
