While light butcher beeves suffered leas!
from the decline, prices were lower than
last week all along the line. The drop

A Live Stock Firms Review.
Following is the report of markets az Lib
erty yards by VIM. Holmes s Co..
We report 20 cars cattle on sale Mon
day. The average quality fair:
about 70 loads We're from Chicago, and 80
loads from Ohio and Indiana. The attend
ance of buyers was lighr. This made the
supply greater than the demand and the
result was very dull trade at 10c to l5c de-
cline from quotations of last week. Cattle
reached the lowest point we have seen for
j months. The greatest loss was on heavy
grades. We had no export demand and no
inquiry for heavy shipping grades, which
had to be sold at strong quarter below
last week prices, to make a clearance. There
was fair demand for good. stockers, weigh
ing $40 to 900 ut 2s4@3Ac. Fresh COWS and
Sprin9erS were in lair demand for desira bic
grades, while common stock sold very low
The demand for lat, dry COWS, both good
ana common, has been exhausted by dressed
beef houses. and there is no more demand
for such. Veal calves are coming in more
freely and are very slow at 5@6c We quote
