OFFICE OF THE PIrTsBURG DISPATCH,
WEDNESDAY. Sent 70

week, and 10 The previous week. Deslr-
able grades were in very short supply, aud
moved actively at a shade better prices than
were obtained a week ago. The average
quality of this weeks offerings was below
average and nothing on sale brought above
s. 90 per cwt. Prime beeves were worth
Sc % in Chicago, and the fact that nothing
offered in East Liberty sold above S. 90 per
cwt proves that there were no primes on
sale
From all live stock centers the report
comes that prime beeves are very scarce.
The Pittsburg butchers whose trade calls
for primes, are forced to go to Chicago for
their stock. Good feeders and choice fresh
cows are in limited supply and demand has
been good for all offered. The top price of
calves this week was 6i4c per H., and only
few choice brought this price. Hogs-The
run for the week has been above 80 car loads
and prices are lower than last week. The
top of the market for Philadelphias to-day
was 50 81, and very few reached this price.
Top price at Chicago this morning was
81 so. Sheep-Receipts in this line for the
week have been about S5 car loads The
proportion of good stock was small. Top
price of sheep was 50 90, and lambs 50 90
For good stock markets were strong and
active, but all common and low grade stuff
was slow and dull at whatever prices buyers
were willing TO pay.
A Liberty Stock Firms Review.
The following is the report of the situa-
tion by Holmes, Rowlen, Briggs 4 Co.: We
report - cars of cattle on sale Monday,
which was less than half the number on sale
the preceding Monday. This was offset by
the demand being reduced fully one-half
from last week, through complaints of dry
weather and shortage of water and grass by
graZiers and feeders, while the butchers
from the city and country all complain most
bitterly of the extreme low prices that Chi
CaCO dressed meat is being sold at and that
they cannot possibly buy any cattle, even at
the present low prices. to compete with the
present dressed meat prices. The result
was the limited number OF cattle could not
ali bc sold. and the close was at the lowest
prices of the season, with several loads to
first hands. We quote no prime
for sale. Good l3CO to l,40a, 41%65c; good
