PIrrsBURG, WEDNESDAY. March 2. (
At the East Liberty yards there have
been about IS loads of cattle on sale thi
week, against 20 loads last week. Qualit,
of offerings was better this week than fo
months past Sales were reported at s. II
per cwt, which was the highest price real
lied this year. On all common and low
grade cattle markets have been weak ant
15c to 20c per cwt lower this week than last
while good export cattle are strong and &C
tive at shade better prices
Fresh COWS were in liberal supply and
fancy were in good demand with $40 as top
price. Veal calves are coming in freely
and last weeks prices are well maintained.
The run of hogs for the week mas been
close to 40 carloads, and markets were slow
with dropping tendencies. Top price this
morning was 50 10.
About 35 loads of sheep and lambs were
offered at Liberty this week. Top price of
sheep was S. s. and top lambs S6 S5. Prices
in general are 10 to 15c lower this week
than lambs, with choice wethers the excep-
tion to the rule. The latter were fairly
steady.

Following is report OF the weeks work by
Holmes, Briggs s. Co:
We report IS cars of cattle on sale Mon
day, against 20 cars at the same time last
week The average was better than for
some weeks past. The attendance OF buyers
was again tight. and market opened very
dull at SC to lOc lower on all butcher grades,
ana continued dull all through, with some
sales at l5c to zoe lower than last week,
while good to prime export cattle were
about steady on account of orders here
which took about all the heavy cattle to sat-
isfy those orders. and while We have to re-
port higher prices than for a few weeks
past, it is on account of higher grades of
cattle. We sold one load of prime l.55O
steers at So TO- Outside of those 81 so to 81 20
were the highest prices paid. Since Monday
receipts have been light and demand light,
and all grades slow at a shade lower prices
than Monday. We quote prime to extra

Receipts of hogs were fair on Monday and
demand light on all grades at strong to l0c
lower than the same dav last week. Since
Monday receipts have been light and but
little wanted at to l0c less than Monday.
Receipts in Chicago being light to-day, we
can reasonably expect a slight reaction be-
fore the close of the week. We quote select
tops s. 10 to S5 20: good mixed, S. 10 to So 10;
:. :

Receipts of sheep ON Monday were 26 loads,
which, On account of unfavorable reports
from Eastern markets, was in excess OF de-
mand and to effect sales it was necessary to
make concessions of % cents on all grades of
sheen, while lambs were about steady at last
weeks prices. Since Monday receipts have
been fair and prices barely steady. We
quote wethers, S. IS to SC co; good, S. so TO
