MONDAY, Oct. l2. {
At the East Liberty stock yards there
were l2O car load of cattle on sale at the
opening of the markets against 81 loads last
Monday and Sc loads the previous Monday.
General quality of to-day'S offerings was a
fair acreage, and rather above that of last
week. There were 40 loads from Chicago,
and the other so loads were in the main
from Ohio and Indiana with a few from
PENNSYLVANIA and West Virginia. Buyers
were present in the usual number, and,
notwithstanding the increased run, markets
varied little from last Monday. While there
were no cattle last week above So 90 per cwt.
on car load lots. this price. was refused
for four loads Of Indiana beeves which were
held at s. %. Good stockers and feeders
were steady at last weeks prices as were
light, smooth butcher beeves. Fresh COWS
were in moderate supply, and those of good
grade were in demand at last weeks prices
the range being $50 TO S45 per head. There
were $50 head of calves on sale and the top
price was 6l96l4c per pound, only O few
extra tlne reaching these figures.
Sheep in Light supply.
There were all told but 13 double deck
loads of sheep and lambs on sale at the
opening of markets against 10 loads last
Monday.
For all good stock, markets were
active and strong at better prices than
ruled a week ago. Top price of sheep was
5l4c and lambs &c per h, being Hc ad-
vance over last Monday for sheep and Hc
for lambs The facts are that choice grades
have not been in sufficient supply to meet
demand for some weeks past, while common
and low grade stock has been overabundant.
Hogs-Receipts were the largest of the
season, the total being 50 carloads
against 30 cars last Monday. The pro-
portion of good corn-fed stock shows
a steady gain week by week, and with the
Improvement in quality comes steady de-
cline in prices. The top of the market for
hogs to-day was s. Is to s. %, which was
25c per cwt. below last Mondays prices. AT
the decline markets did not show any great
activity. The time is here when receipts of
hogs will be on the increase At Chicago
to-day receipts were $4,000 head, and top
price there was 81 80. The great corn crop
begins to show its influence in the declining
prices of hogs and hog products.
Allegheny Yards.
At the Herr's Island wards the run of
cattle was below late average in number,
but were sufficient for all demands. Heavy
becves were no more than steady at last
weeks prices, and light weights were 2Jc
per cwt below last Mondays range. The
