which were close 10 prime. but not quite

prime bceves were offered at East Liberty

Stock Firms Review.
Following is the weekly report OF markets
by Holmes, Rowlen, Briggs & Co.: We report
liz cars cattle on sale Monday and Tuesday,
which showed no improvement in quality or
weights on the past two weeks run. The
attendance OF buyers was not good, and
the Eastern markets were reported the
worst Of the season, there was little de-
manG. No orders came from exporters OF
for Eastern shipments, which had n bad ef-
tcct on our market. And the result was that
our market was depressed all along the line.
There were few early sales of most desira-
Die lots at about last weeks prices, but
as rule. the market opened very dull ut
10 to 20 cents lower than last week, and con
cinued duh all through, with number of cars
uEsOldat = O'Clock, and several loads were
shipped East in first hands rather than suf-
fer lapscs which shippers would have been
compelled to undergo. We quote no prime
