PITTsBURG, MONDAY, January II.
AT the East Liberty stock yards there
were about 95 carlo ads of cattle on sale this
morning an increase of Is loads over the
offerings of last Monday, and of 80 loads
over the previous Monday. More than one
half of the cattle offered to-day were from
Chicago. There were not as MANY good
beeves on sale this week as last, and no
primes.
Prime cattle have ceased to be a quantity
in our local yards. All of this grade are
taken at Chicago and other Western points
al better prices than our butchers can af-
ford TO paw. BUYERS were not so numerous
at Liberty as usual, and as cattle were in
large supply, and average quality low, they
made the most of their opportunity in bear
ing markets. Markets opened slow at
decline from last weeks prices of 10 to 15c
per cwt. Last Monday there were sales
above &c per lb. and to-day there were no
sales above 81 IS in carloadlots as far as could
be learned. The supply of fresh cows and
veal calves was light, ard last weeks range
was maintained. There were very few good
fresh cows offered, and S45 90 was the high
est price paid.
Top price of veal calves was 615c per lb.
ket against 21 loads a week ago Markets
were steady at last weeks prices fer choice
stock. Some extra sheep were sold at 50 80
per cwt. ard fancy lambs at SIC per Id.
Common grades were weak at a shade lower
prices than were obtained last Monday.
