There were on sale at the East Liberty
wards on Monday about 100 carloads of cat
tie, which were almost entirely common and
low grade stock No heavy primes were
offered and very few good beeves. Light,
tidy butcher stock weighing LOO to 1.Soo
pounds were in very short supply. A falr
number of buyers were on hand, but
markets opened decidedly in their favor,
and they made the most OF their opportun-
itv in bearing markets. The weather was
unfavorable 10 trade, tie forepart of the
week being stormy. Poultry being to the
front for Thanksgiving purposes, the effect
was manifest in diminished demand from
butchers. Altogether markets prove favor
able 10 the buyer and prices were l5c per
cwt. below last weeks range. when it was
thought that bottom was reached. The
highest price at which carload lots were
sold was "a Co. A few loads that were held
at a nickel pound were sent on in first
hands for want of satisfactory offers. y
carload of l 800 Id Ohio cattle, fairly good,
but light in flesh and heavy in bone, were
sold at So 81. Had the bones been light
and the flesh heavy. the same grade would
have sold close TO 81 90 per cwt above this
figure.
FTesH COWS VI HlCn pT3ue 1tlu up well 10
last weeks prices. the top OF the market
being $50 90 per head. Common stock was
dull at inside prices Calves maintained
last week prices, the range for grassers be-
ing 2l@c TO Size per lb and vealers 81 to &c
per 10. Good sheep anc heavy lambs were
steady at last weeks prices, the price of
sheep beirg g 0G per cwt and lambs s. 10.
One small bunch of extra lambs was sold at
s. %. Receipts of hogs have been very
large this week. Above 700 carloads have
been on sale since Monday morning. On
Thursday there were sales of Philadelphias
at 81 05, but since then prices have de-
clined 15c per cwt. The top of the market
this morning was S. 80, and slow al that.
Live Stock FIRMS Review.
The following is report of the situation
by Holmes, Rowlen, Briggs & Co.: We re-
port 105 loads cattle on sale Monday. The
quality was common. The attendance of
buyers was fair, but owing TO bad reports
from New York and a week of thanksgiv-
ing, when game and poultry take the place
of beefsteak and pork, we had to make con-
cesSions on all grades to even start the
market There were no prime heavy
beeves offered. and but little demand for
such. as we had no orders for export cattle
this week. As the demand for our feeders
and stockers is about supplied, and as such
grades make UP the largest CT our receipts,
il is almost impossible TO sell all of
those grades at anything like satisfactory
prices. We quote good 1,300 to l 400,
