PTTTsBURG, WEDNESDAY, July
There were 81 loads of cattle on sale al
East Liberty yards this week, against 104
loads last week. OF this weeks offerings
about seven car loads were held over from
last week. Notwithstanding the fact that
markets opened on the great national holI-
day, trade started up lively at q sharp
advance all along the line. On desirable
grades, such as light, smooth butcher beeves,
the advance was equal to 40 per cent, and on
all grades there was an advance of not less
than % per cent. The highest price paid
was for load of good, but not prime beeves,
weighing 1 800 pounds, from Southern Ohio
The price at which this load was sold was
S. 10. Another load brought IS 90 per
cwt. These were the highest prices paid at
the East Liberty yards for some months
past. Last week the top of market was
81 So. Fresh cows were in light supply,
and range was the same this week as last,
namely $40 to $40 per head. There were all
told about 30 loads of sheep and lambs on
the market this week. In the offerings
there were few good and no choice. Mar
kets ruled strong at &c advance on good
stock, while low grades were steady at
former prices
Hogs were in light supply and active de-
last week. Sales reported as high as S. 95,
and this morning there would have been no
difficulty in obtaining Sc 90 per cwt for
Philadelphias had there been any such on
sale.

buyers on account of the holiday, vet the de-
mand was greater than the supply, which
made an active market at an advance OF
25@30c per 100 over last weeks price Since
Monday receipts have been light and every
thing sold at strong Monday prices with
prospects good from now until next week,
especially on good grair-fed stock, which
are scarce on all markets East and West,and
