WEDNESDAY. November H.
There have been on sale this week at the
East Liberty yards almost 130 carloads of
cattle, against lis loads last week, and $50

cago this week were smaller than for
months past Quality of offerings was
slightly better this week than last, but
there were no heavy prime beeves on sale.
The latter are worth about &c per pound in
Chicago, and vet nothing offered at East
Liberty brought above SC per pound. The
great bulk of the offerings consisted OF COM
mon and low grade stock.
Market opened slow on Monday at about
last weeks prices for good butcher stock.
On low grades buvers demanded concessions,
which were submitted to, and on these
grades markets have declined fully 15c per
cwt since Monday. There was large run
of common fresh cows, which only could be
sold at sacrifice. There were sales consid-
erably below $50 per head. Choice fresh
cows were scarce. and found ready sale at
$50 per head NealerS were in fair supply,
and sold at about last weeks prices

and lambs on the market this week Good
sheep held up we'll to last weeks prices, top
