OFFICE OF THE DISPATCH,
PITTsBURe. MONDAY. January l..
At the East Liberty yards there were 80
carloads of cattle on sale when markets
opened this morning, against 80 loads the
previous Monday. In the offerings of this
week were about % loads from Chicago.
The remainder were chiefly from Ohio and
Indiana While there were no prime beeves
on sale, the quality of those offered was a
fair average. About ten carloads of good
cattle from Ohio were on the market Buy
ers were present in fair force, but markets
opened slow owing to the in
creased supply. With 20 carloads more
than were on sale last Monday, the buyer
made the most of his opportunity. and there
was n strong effort to bear markets. The
bears, however, met with little success, and
the advance of last week was well main
tanned on all desirable grades though COM
mon and low grade cattle were weak and
slow. Good Ohio beeves were held at a
nickel Il pound. and prospects were good
that this price would be obtained for the
best. The increased run was Offset by the
cold weather, which is always helpful to live
stock markets.
There was a fair run OF fresh cows, but
quality of those offered was low and demand
was slow. The top of markets was s35 per
head, and few were good enough to bring
this price. There was a light run of veal
calves. and markets were reported firm,
with SIC rs top price. Sheep and lambs
Receipts i'll this line were more than double
what they were n week ago, the total being
81 carloads. Markets were weak and shade
lower than last week. Choice stock, how
ever, held up close to the old prices. The
