At the East Liberty yards there have
been close to 100 carloads of cattle on sale
this week, and markets were very unsatis-
factory to shippers and commission men
probably as much so as any time for a yesr
past As an evidence of the depressed con-
dition of markets not less than 20 carloads
were shipped on to New York in first hands
on Monday Advices from New York show
that the cattle forwarded Jared no better
than they would have done had they been
sold at East Liberty.
Heavy, course, half fatted beeyes could
only be sold here this week at sacrifice
Light smooth butcher beeves weighing /, 100
TO 800 lbs, were not in supply equal to
demand and were sold shade better
price than was realized last week. The top
price this week was s. 90 per cwt, and
very few of those on sale reached this price.
Good fresh cows found ready sale with
S45 90 per head as top price. The supply
Of hogs for the week was above late
average in both number and
quality. The good corn crop begins TO tell
in the larger number of corn fed hogs COM
ing to our markets. Price of best Philadel-
phia's range from So 10 TO So 80. Sheep
The number on sale for the week was about
30 carloads, against 35 loads last week. Good
sheep were strong and active at last weeks
prices and common grades dull and slow.
Top of market was &c for sheep and SIC for
lambs.
Liberty Stock Firms Review.
Following is a review of weeks trade
and prices by Holmes. Rcwen, Briggs & CO.
We report % loads OF cattle for sale on
Monday. The attendance of buyers was
Tl,or g. l..
the trading was very slow at about last
weeks prices, except on smooth fat butch
erlng grades and good class of feeders, which
were in most demand and fewest in number
This grade sold 10c to 15a per hundred higher
than for the past two weeks. There was a
liberal supply of medium weights weighing
1850 TO 1,30j lbs, which were not in de-
mand from country butchers, unless at rates
to compete with Chicago dressed beef This
decline owners were not prepared to meet,
and about ten loads were forwarded out to
New York. There were no prime heavy
beeves offered, and no particular demand for
such: except two or three loads ordered bv an
exporter. We quote good, 1900 to /, 400,
at 4l2(G5c; good, !, 100 to 200, at 4(64lLc:
