OFFICE OF PITTsBrRe DISPATCH, I

nf cattle on sale this week at the East Lib
ertv stoelzyaTds, against l4O loads last week
and l55 loads the week before. Quality OF
offerings was in the main poor. There were
no prime heavy cattle on sale in carload
lots. md not many light primes Market
opened on Monday with about le0 loads on
sale. BUYERS were present IN fair force.
Smooth, light butcher beeves, weighing
from LEO to 1900 Ms, were in active
demand at a shade higher prices than
last week. 1t seems that our markets
arc never oSNsTstoeked with this grade of
cattle. Prime heavy beeves ar" almost an
unknown quantity in this market OF late.
Butchers who handle prime stock mostly
order from Chicago. and their constituents
few at this season, being, as tGey are y!
large majority, ut the seaside or on the
mountains There was nothing good enough
ut Fast Liberty this week to bring 90 per
cwt, and yet prime heavy beeVes were
sold IN Chicago close to So % per c~t- Goou
fresh COWS were in demand al n
range OF sa5 to s45 per head. Veal
calves were in light supply and
prices OF last week. There was a good de-
nand for feeders of good quality.
Shccp-Thc number on sale for the week
has been p loads Market opened strong on
Monday at an advance of lUc per cwt. on last
weeks prices. Since Monday markets
have still further improved, and choice
grades have sold at CSC per cwt. higher than
anything reached week ago. Quailty OF
lambs on sale this week was below average
in quality and prices ranged 25c per cwt.
lower than last week. The price of sheep
was s. 25. 4 deck of choice Ohio weighing 10!
Tbs. sold Mt this figure. The general
range for lambs was 3 25d5 %, but few
choice were sold Mt &c per 10. Hogs-The
run was light not more than Il carloads
being on sale for the week. against nearly
double this number last week Markets
active and firm at a shade better prices than
We're obtained last week. Best hogs sold at
A Review of the Week.
Homes, Rowien. Briggs & Co. report 9s
loads Of cattle on safe Monday, about half of
which came from Chicago and indianapolis;
and OF very common class, consisting of
hcifcrs rough half-tatted steers and stock
ers which had TO be sold very low to clear
the yards OF such stock. In fact buyers
made their own prices and sellers had but
little 70 say in the deals. Smooth fat butcher
5ng grades and good shipping beeves were
scarce and found ready sale at strong last
weeks prices, and why there are many
haiI-fatted and thin cattle put on the mar
Eet now, with such an abundance of fed in
the country, no ono can understand, except
on the theory thar all are afraid they will
have last falls prices repeated this fall If
such cattle continue 20 come another
week or two as they have in past
two weeks, they will have to be sold rs low
as any time last year. Wo quote prime to
