MONDAY. Juno z.

of offerings ranged from common to me
dium. Prime beeves, especially those OF
heavy weight were conspicuous for their
absence, and light prime cattle were scarce.
While stock was plenty buyers were few,
and markets started slow at a decline from
last Mondays prices, which was reported all
the way from 15c to Csc per cwt. One CON-
mission man reported that markets were
more than &c lower at the first dash and
that all signs pointed to further break be-
fore day was over. There were no beeves on
the ma rket which reached &C, and few If any
reached SIC in a wholesale way. The best
on sale were quoted at s. 30 to 5 10. Four
loads of good Ohio cattle, weighing from
1890 to ,450, were in the hands of one of the
commission firms, but at the time the re-
porter left tho yards these cattle were un-
sold. The bulk-of the supplies was from
Chicago. Fresh COWS were in better supply
than q week ago, and those of good quality
held up to last weeks prices, while com
mon and low grades were dull at nominal
prices.
The Range of Prices.
The range of markets was SIS to $40. One
sale was reported at SSS-a sale made to a re-
tail dealer from Allegheny. Veal calves were
in fair supply and demand was good at last
week 5 range, top price being 5l4c. Sheep
and lambs-Thers were 30 carloads on sale
at the opening of markets, against Is loads
last Monday At q drop of &c from last
Mondays prices markets proved anything
but active, and still further concessions
seemed necessary before stock could be un-
loaded. Buyers saw their opportunity and
made the most of il.
The top of the market for sheep was sc per
pound, and only a few fancy brought this
figure. Spring lambs, which were scarce and
high last week, selling then at SC per pound
for the best, failed to go above &c to-day, and
nothing below the choicest reached this
price Hogs alone held up to prices of last
Monday. There were Is carloads on sale.
