PIrTsBURG, WEDNESDAY, January6
At East Liberty yards there have been all
told about % carloads of cattle on the mar
ket this week, against 20 loads last week
and s. loads the previous week. There
were no prime beeves on sale, but the pro-
portion of good cattle offered this week was
somewhat larger than it has been of late.
Buyers were present in fair force at the
opening of markets Monday morning but
demanded concessions on former rates be-
cause of Jhe heavy run. Their efforts proved
successful as regarded common and low
grade stock. and sales were made at l0c to l5c
per cwt below the rates that prevailed the
previous Monday. while desirable butcher
cattle held their own and sold at almost last
week prices. The highest price paid was
50 o. for two loads of OHIO cattle, This price
WAS l5c per cwt. above anything sold last
week. hut the quality was that much better
than last weeks tops. Three loads of good
l.5OOlb beeves, which were consigned from
Nerm1lllon county, Ill, were sent on In first
landS, 50 90 being offered here and refused,
as the shippers limit was above this figure.
Good fat dry cows were in good demand,
but common stock was very dull and hard to
sell. The latter are not wanted in this market.
These were for good fresh cows offered and
