OFFICE OF PITrsBURG DISPATCH,
WEDNESDAY, August Il.
The total number of cattle on sale this
week at the East Liberty yards was 115 car
loads against 10 loads last week and 40
loads the previous week. OF the lis loads
on sale this week less than 20 per cent were
fair to good stock. Prime heavy beeves
are no longer quotable at these
wards, as none of this class have been
offered in carloads for weeks past. The few
that come TO this market are ordered di-
rectly from Chicago. Good butcher beeves
of weight, ranging from 1,10G to 1,S00 lbs
were strong at last weeks prices for the
reason that there Were not enough TO
90 round. The highest price paid was 50 30
while primes are worth S6.5O. great scar
city e. prime cattle is reported from all the
live stock centers of the country. In the
absence OF primes exporters are compelled
to accept cattle, which in former years
would not have been considered Sood
enough for this trade. Fresh cows were IN
fair supply and weak for all excepting
choice. There have been about 400 head OF
calves on sale at Liberty, an increase on last
weeks run, and markets were slow on
guasscrs and steady on good vealers. sales
OF choice vealers were reported a shade
above &c per lb-, though in general &c was
the top of the market.
In the past week or two a considerable in
quiry for good feeders has developed and
supply is limited. Sheep-There have been
rs loads on sale this week against % loads
last weeG, and markets are of 20 to 25c per cut
from last weeks range. Hogs-About ~
loads have been offered and markets are
steady for good corn fed stock and slow
Tor grasserS and all common grades
a Leading Firms Review.
The following is the situation as given by
Holmes, Rowlen, Briggs n Co.: We report ITO
loads of cattle on sale Monday which was
principally of low grades. About one-third
were from Chicago and indianapolis, all of
which were quite common. There were no
r7riue to extra beeves on sale. A few orders
were received for export cattle and there
were but few loads good enough to ill orders
and those on hand readily sold at a shade
higher prices than last week, while common
grades were very slow sale at last weeks
prices Every week goes to show more con-
clusively that this country is short of export
and good shipping cattle and the demand for
such is difficult to satisfy at present.
