Markets opened on Monday morning at
the Liberty yards with 13o loads of cattle on
sale, a large proportion of which were COM
mon and low grade About 40 loads were
from Chicago, and the balance from Ohio
and Indiana. Since Monday about 10 loads
have been added TO the offerings, making a
total OF l4O loads against l55 loads last week
and 100 loads the week before. Prime beeves
were conspicuous for their absence. There
were no heavy primes on sale and few light
primes, the kind that our trade especially
calls for Light tidy cattle, weighing 100 to
l,2GO lbs have not been in over supply in this
market for months past, and tins Is the only
grade that suffers not from depression OF
prices. Beevcs of good quality weighing

Monday, but their ideas OF Valnes were dll-
fercnt from sellers, and the large run was
worked for all that WAS in it. Prime heavy
