OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DIsPATCH,l
WEDNESDAY. April 10.
On Monday morning markets opened at
East Liberty stockyards with about so car
loads on sale, and five loads have been re-
ceived since. The total for the week has
been about the same as last week. There
were more low grade beeves and fewer primes
in this weeks offerings than for several
weeks past. Supply of good butcher stock was
not up to demand. Many more than were Of
fered would have found ready sale at 25c per
cwt more than last weeks prices. All along
the line there was an advance of l0c to Csc per
cwt over prices of week ago.
The highest price obtained was &c per pound,
and only a few reached this price. Smooth
tidy butcher beeves of light weight, such as
our markets call for. ranged in price from S. to
So 50 ner cwt- More than were offered would
have found ready sale this price. There
we're few good fresh COWS on the market fewer
than wants of trade demanded.
The range of prices was S25 to S45 per head,
and at the outside price there could have been
sold more than were offered Of good stock.
There were no stockers offered and none
wanted.
Largest Run of the Season.
The run OF calves this week was tne largest
OF the season. About 700 were received on
Monday, and as many more on Tuesday. A
few hundred more were expected to-day. As
result of large receipts markets are of fully 1c
per lb FRI prices of last week.
The tC Of the market for scalers last week
was 5l4c This week the top price was 41Lc,
and only few of the choicest reached this fig
ure. Last weeks receipts OF calves were 100
head, and this weeks close to 2 900 nead
Sheep and lambs-There have been less than
dozen loads on the market all the week. In
the offerings were very few good which could
in largest charity be called prime Farmers
who have carried their sheep through the win
ter have done so for the WOOL and as the
weather SO far this spring has not been favora-
bic TO clipping, sheep are being withheld from
tne market until after favorable shearing time.
As the weather has been much more favorable
for clipping the past few days. there is little
doubt that next week will witness increased
supplies.
The highest price paid for clipped sheep was
DC, and lambs &c per II. Only few choice
lunches we're sold at these figures. A load or
Two of unclipped Western sheep were sold at
to 5S<c. A few punches of fancy unclipped
lambs were sold al 1Ic. HoCS-Recepts for
the week SO far have been almost 90 loads
Markets were slow at decline of 25c per cwt
from prices OF last week. Best Philadelphias
sold at s. 90 There was little demand for
4orKers, and sales were only made by liberal
concessions on the part of sellers.
