loads, against 60 loads last week There
were few better beeves on sale this week
than for some time past, but quality In gen.
eral was no better than late average. Mar.
kets opened brisk and active on Monday
morning at an advance on last weeks
prices, which on certain desirable grades
was equal to 25c per cwt. Light, smooth
butcher beeves were particularly firm,
owing to their scarcity. At noon Monday
came the report from Chicago that receipts
there were the largest on record, the total
being 81, 600 head.
On receipt of this news the bottom at
once dropped out or markets, and the deal
ers who had not sold were forced to make
concessions which more than wiped out the
advance. There were beeves sold on Tues
day at 81 35 which on Monday morning
would have readily brought "a S. The
highest price paid this week was S. 90 per
cwt for l3 head OF cattle from Green county,
O.. averaging l6C0 lbs Good fresh cows
were in short supply and were sold at last
weeks prices. One sale was reported above
$40 90.

time this season. UD TO this morning l,e90

due to-day and tomorrow to swell the totals

Following is report of the weeks trans
hx-I Iolr Brio
We report 5s loads of cattle on sale Mon
day, made up of q loads from Chicago, 6
fIom Omaha and 25 loads from Ohio The
quality was no Improvement over last week,
while there were a few higher grades. The
general average quality of butcher grades
was common. The market opened lively on
desirable grades at strong l0@20c higher
than Monday of last week, While other
grades were slow at l0c advance, and about
all were sold before the Chicago report came
out, which gave 80 0o0 there. All who were
not sold out up to that report bad to take OFF
all the morning advance to effect clear
ance. Since Monday receipts have been
fair, which with light demand had to be sold
at about zoe below the opening prices of
Monday. If Chicago receipts continue heavy
the balance of the week we can reasonably
look for lower prices next Monday. We
quite prime to extra steers - 1905 co. good.

receipts OF sheep on Monday were liberal,
and as there was no Improvement in de-

at lower prices, but finally settled on about
25c decline from last weeks prices. and the
majority were sold at about this decline.
There were few who would not accept the
decline and forwarded to New York. We
