of cattle on sale this week at the East Lib
erty wards against 80 loads last week The
offerings this week were 25 per cent more
than our trade calls for at this season of the
year. Quality of beeves on sale was con-
siderably below late average Weather
proved adverse to trade, and with the large
run buvers, who were not numerous sue
ceeded in Obtaining concessions on last
week prices all the Hay from 15c to DC per
cwt. There were no sales of cattle this
week in carload lots above 81 75 per cwt,
whereas last week there were sales at S5 05
per cwt. AT the reduced prices goodly
number failed TO find buvers, and a number
OF carloads were sent East in first hands
According 20 Eastern advices the cattle sent
on went further to fare worse than they
WoGiu have done here.
Fresh COWS were in light supply and
quality OF offerings was low. The range of
markets was as il WAS week ago, S25 90 to
90 % per head. Veal calves were scarce and
