MONDAY, Aug. 81, 1881,
Markets opened at East Liberty stock
Yards with 20 loads of cattle on sale, against
as loads last Monday and ITO loads the pre-
vious week. In the offerings to-day were
about % carloads from Chicago. Ohio,
West Virginia and Kentucky furnished the
bulk of the balance on sale. Quality Of
offerings to-day showed some Improvement
on recent receipts The proportion of low
grade beeves was smaller than usual.
Strictly prime heavy cattle are no longer
ouotable quantity at the East Liberty yards
Whatever is needed in this line is ordered
directly from Chicago or sold here in q retail
way.
Ono Feature in Light Supply.
Light tidy butcher beeves weighing from
llgO to 1900 lbs. were in short supply, and
markets were firm at a shade better prices
than were obtainebIe week ago.
Buyers were on hand in larger force than
usual, and supply of good feeders was not
Gp to demand
East Liberty does not seem of late TO be
good market for feeders Western shippers
of this grade OF cattle can do better at chi
cago than here, and, the drift OF trace Is 20
the Western metropolis. There were no
beeves for sale at the Liberty yards to-day,
good enough to bring 1915 in car load lots,
and yet prime heavy cattle were worth s62S
The best load of cattle on sale was held at
So 65. Supply of fresh COWS and veal calves
was below late average. There were very
few good cows on sale, and none that could
be called fancy. Demand for fresh COWS is
VERY slow. The top of the market to-day
was s85 90 per head. Top price of vealers
was SIC, and only few reached this figure.
Sheep and lambs--There were Ia loads on
sale when markets opened, against loads
last Monday Quality was generally poor:
fo- drop in prices. Top price for sheep was
SC and lambs 5]lc per pound.
Hogs-The number on sale to-day was Is
loads, against the same number last Mon
day. Philadelphias were in short supply
and were active and firm at l5c per cwt ad-
vance on closing prices of last week. This
grade sold readily at - 1045 80 per cwt.
Yorikers were slow and dull at last weeks
prices. Top of market at Chicago was re-
ported by one of our leading packers at

At Allegheny Yards
Receipts of cattle were somewhat larger
than laUe average at Herr's Island yards,
and markets were firm at l06l5c advance
