WEDNESDAY. Oct. IL

Liberty yards fo- local trade were 100 cal
loads, against 120 loads last week With
the increased Tun, markets opened on Mon
day at about last weeks prices, and all de
sirable grades found ready buyers. There
have been no prime heavy beeves on sale al
East Liberty in carload lots for months past
and there appears to be no demand for thi,
grade. The few butchers who must have
this grade cannot obtain their supplies this
side Of Chicago The kind most
wanted for our local trade are
light, smooth beeves, weighing from
100 to 1900 lbs OF this kind there is never
Bn over supply. Supply of good feeders
and stocke-s fall below demand for weeks
past OF the common and low grades, there
are always more than enough at the East
Liberty yards. While poor stock is COM
pelied to go begging for buyers, nice, tidy,
weil-fattcned beeveS sell themselves with
out the least trouble Our local stock yards
furnish ample illustrations every week that
il is best for the farmer 10 raise good stock
and bring them to marketi in good condition.
The highest price paid at Liberty this week
was S5.12K per cwt-
Sheep-There have been all told about %
double deck loads on sale this week against
80 loads last week. Supply of choice was
not up TO demand and prices moved up
higher Top price of sheep this week was
So %, and lambs 53lc with a few fancy
lambs selling at &c per pound. Hogs-Re-
ceipts large and markets heavy at decline
of 20c per cwt. Total receipts for the week
have been close to 20 car loads, against less
than half this number last week. The top
of the market this morning was SIS 15 and
Buffalo prices were 15c below these figures
A Live Stock Firms Review.
The following is tn. report of the weeks
work by Holmes, Rowle2, Briggs &; Co:
80 loads Of cattle on sale Monday and
Tuesday, made up of 40 loads common
Chicago cattle and the others from Ohio,
Indiana and West Virginia. The quality
better than has been for soma months past,
but no prime heavy beeves were offered
Good medium grades were more pl .cty, and
On account Of Eastern markets being re-
ported better, such grades were in better
demand at a shade stronger prices, while
common and rough grades were very dull
and had TO be sold at very low prices. Good
