WEDNESDAY, Nov Is.
There have been on sale at the East Lib
ertv wards this week about 95 loads of cattle
against 130 loads last week and 115 loads
the previous week. There were no heavy
prime beeyes on the market this week in
carload lots, and there have been none for
weeks past. Light smooth butcher beeves,
weighing LOO to 1900 ms, were in short
supply and brought a shade better prices
this week than last. All other grades were
slow at decline from last weeks prices.
While the run was light, buyers were pres
ent in smaller force than usual. There were
no sales above nickel pound, and very
few at this figure. Poultry, game and oys-
tiers are now to the front, and the effect is
seen in lessening demand for staple meats.
Fresh cows of high grade are in good de-
mand at $50 90 per head, while low grades
are neglected. Calves are steady at last
weeks prices, 6l4c being the top of markets
for job lots. Sheep and lambs-There have
been about 20 loads on the market this
week against 35 loads last week. Choice
sheep are shade higher but common stock
is dull at last weeks prices
Hogs-Receipts in this week were the lar
gest of this season. There were IS loads on
sale Monday morning, and 35 loads were re-
ceived since that time. There were more hogs
weighed at the East Liberty yards on Mon
day than anv time in the history of these
wards Markets were dull at the beginning
of the week, but have gained since that
time. This morning there was an active
demand, at "a 0O@4 10, for Philadeiphias.

BUYERS was short and receipts of cattle were
light. BUYERS showed no disposition to

out in an effort to advance prices, which
they accomplished to a small extent, on

very scarce and first sold. Unhandy grades
