morning, but quality was a fair average.
The best on sale was a carload of Allegheny

would be necessary before sale could be
made. Markets opened slow at an ad-
vance of 1oc to 15c per cwt on prices
of last week. Light prime butcher beeves
were in short supply and were in good de-
msnd at 15c per cwt higher prices than pre-

lb beeves which were close to prime.

to-day as last Monday. There were few
choice in the offerings and markets
