Liberty yards Monday morning, and the
number was increased TO 140 loads before
the day was over. Since Monday there
have been additional reinforcements, and
the total for the week has not been much
below $50 carloads, against so carloads last
week About one-third of the offerings
were from Chicago, Ohio, Penns ylvania,
West Virginia and Indiana, furnishing
about loo loads. There were no strictly
prime beeves on sale. All this grade seems
to float of late to Chicago, where prices are
better than here. Nothing that was Offered
at Liberty this week brought more than
s. 550per cwt. and very few reached this price.
As prime heavy steers are worth over S8 90
per cwt IN Chicago, it is clear that thcre
were no primes on sale at East Liberty.
Buyers were present in goodly numbers, but
their opportunity from the heavy run was
made the most Of, and markets opened slow
al Il decline Of l5c to 25c per cwt. from prices
OF last week Common grades declined still
more as the week advanced, and on some
low grades there was 4 decline OF 40c per cwt.
from prices of week ago Fresh cows were
in larger supply than usual, and only the
best were active with S31 30 per head as the
Calves were in fair supply, and last weeks
prices were maintained. Top of market on
NcalS WAS 6lsc per lb. HOgS-Recelpts were
large the total for the week being about IS
carloads, against so loads last week. Mar
kets were slow at decline of Is to 25c per
Cwr. Best cOrnfed hogs sold at s. 55, and
very few of those offered were good enough
to bring this price. Sheep-Total receipts
for the week, 25 loads, against 20 loads last
week Markets were reported active at a
shade better prices than were obtained last
week. Tcp of market for sheep was SC, and
for lambs &c per lb.
