Than for Months Past

WEDNESDAY. Dec. l6. !
There were all told about % carloads of
cattle on sale at the East Liberty yards this
week, against 95 loads last week. The pro-
portion of good beeves was larger this week
than ii has been for months past. There
were no strictly prime cattle offered in car
load lots Markets opened weak and lower
for all heavy stock, and there was decline
on this grade Of not less than DC per cwt.
Said an old-time stockman: I'VE haven't
had as mean a market for heavy cattle for a
wear past as we have had this week"
Full flesh lightweight beeves weighing
from 900 TO 1.100 pounds were steady at
last weeks prices. The highest price paid
in wholesale way was 81 so for a carload
of Coshocton county, Ohio, cattle, which
averaged Has pounds in weight. The same
would have brought &c per pound a week
ago. Two very fancy heifers weighing
l470 pounds were bought by Il. Trauerman
from Holmes, Rowlen, Briggs & Co. at
- 5.1a. This fancy pair was consigned by
Carpenter 6 Campbell OF Middletown, In
diana, and were forwarded to Young Il
loung, OF Johnstown, Tor their holiday
trade.
Hogs We're in liberal supply. the total re-
ceirts for the week being about LOO carloads
against the same number last week. The
this morning the top OF the market was 81 80
and slow at that. Sheep and lambs have
been in supply to the amount of about %
loads this week, about the same number as
last week. Good grades were easy TO sell at
last weeks prices. while common stock was
very slow at decline. Top price of sheep
was DC and lambs size per 10. A very fancy
brnch OF lambs. consigned by Mr. Ross. of
Bucyrus, o., sold at 5t4
