P1TrsBURG, MONDAY, June 20.
There were on sale this morning at the
East Liberty stock yards about 100 loads of
cattle against 55 loads last Monday, and 60
loads the week before. To-dayis receipts
were the largest for month or more, but
local trade does not require at this season
above 60 car loads, and when almost double
this amount is dumped onto our markets
the markets are sure to weaken.
Buyers were present at Liberty in larger
force than usual. A number of new buyers
were on hand. Markets opened slow at a
decline of 10c TO &c per cwt. Light
butcher beeves of prime quality suffered
least from the drop, for the reason that this
grade was in light supply. A load of good
heeves from Green county, Ohio, weighing
aboGt l475 lbs, and close to prime was held
at 50, but the best offer was S4.45.
