WEDNESDAY, Sept. %.
The immense run of common and low
grade cattle and the scarcity of prime stock
were the most marked features of the East
Liberty live stock market this week. There
have been on sale all the week over ITO car
loads of cattle, against 11j loads last week.
From all live stock centers comes the same
report, namely, that common cattle are
abundant and good grades scarce. In three
days of last week G6,0OO head were re-
ceived at Chicago and large number of
the c were Of necessity dumped onto
this and other markets. The scarcity and
high price of grain last season is now show
ing the etiect in the scarcity of prime
beeVes. Though buyers were present in
force at East Liberty this week, there was
nothing on hand that sold above n nickel a
pound in the cattle line When it is renleE-
bcrcd that prime beeves sell in Chicago at
So p to s. % per cwt., it is evident that there
were no primes offered at East Liberty Tho
supply n good feeders WAS short OF demand
Buyers OF this quality are forced OF late 10
go to Chicago for their supplies.
Supply of good, fresh COWS is scarcely up
70 demand and last weeks range was main-
tanned. Sheep and lambs-There were on
sale all the week 50 far close to 40 carloads
quality, which were few in proportion to the
total, found ready sale at about last weeks
prices, while common and inferior grades
we're duh and hard to sell at reduction.
The top price of sheep was IS 90 and lambs
s. So Hogs-The warm weather has ap-
parently been adverse to this line OF live
stock. Receipts were not heavy, but there
appeared to be enough for all demands. The
top OF the market to-day is s. GO.

which were made mp generally from Chicago
md Indiana, OF common Iow-priced heifers
and steers. No prime shippers or exporters
offered for sale, and very few smooth, fat
butcherng cattle. The attendance of buy
ers was fully up 10 an average, but Was very
slow TO buy any grades at quarter to half
dollar per hundred decline from opening
prices of Monday week. The better grades
OF DutcheTlng cattle and StOckerS and feed
ers suffered the least loss and were easiest
sold. 1t was not a question of price to sell
coarse, rough grades, Dut simply to find O
