A Live Stock Firms Review.
Following is report of the weeks transac-
ions bv Holmes, Briggs & Co.:
We report IS loads OF cattle on sale this
week. Sixty-two loads were on sale Mon
iav, IL of which were from Chicago and 90
oads from Ohio and Indiana. The general
lyera-e quality was about the same as last
week The attendance OF buyers was light
md demand was not equal to the supply,
which made a very dull market at 10 to Is
'euts decline from prices of Monday of last
week on all but handy light grades. These
we're about steady. Heavy cattle were
almost entirely neglected, and to effect sales
IN such grades prices had to be lowered
below the lowest prices of the past year.
Unless there Is a better export demand soon
will be almost impossible to find BUYERS
or heavy cattle. We quote prime ], 400 to

10 90 per head.
Receipts of hogs on Monday were about
so loads. the demand was light and mar
ket dull at strong 15c below the closing
prices OF last week. Since Monday receipts
continue fair and market almost Lfeless
and but little doing except on desirable
grades. which are slow at shade lower than
Monday. Common to good Workers and
mixed grades are left lvlng in the yard
sleeping undisturbed, while the statesmen
are out looking for buyers, which means
low prices and unsatisfactory sales when
made
The receipts of sheep on Monday were %
cars This, with an mproveddemand, stlm-
Ulated buyers to higher prices which gave
the market a strong tone, and all desirable
grades were &c higher than last week, while
common grades have been dull at a shade
higher prices. Since Monday receipts of
sheep continue liberal, and prices 1Oc to 15c
higher on prime grades, while common and
medium close slow at Mondays prices. We
a. rlSe all to 80 slow on common sheep. Re
-eipts OF calves have been light ali week,
iUd. as the demand has been light, Mon
days prices were 25c to soc lower than last
week. Since Monday the market has been
weak at 40c to soc below last weeks close.
