And Cattle and Sheep About Steady NJ the
Local Yards
MONDAY, Aug. 1a
The markets at the local yards were NOT
very brisk this morning and rrices were
either barely steady or shade lower. The
run of cattle at the Central Drove yards waS
considerably larger than last week, the con.
sequence being that buyers endeaYored ia
establish decline. So far as could be
learned, however, their efforts were not sucs
cessful, but the market appeared to be .
little easier despite the fact that it was gen.
orally reported steady. Hos were lower
about the same condition of affairs prevailed
as at the Central yards.
