- Markets opened at East Liberty Yards
this morning with about 60 carloads of
cattle on sale against 40 loads last Mon
dav. and 80 loadsth previous Monday. In to-
DAVIS receipts were 23 loads from Chicago,
the balance being mostly from Ohio and
Indiana. Quality of offerings was a shade
better this week than last. There was one
load of prime Chicago beeves, weighing
1,5OO lbs, which was sold at SIS 80, the
highest price paid at East Liberty
since the beginning of the year.
a few loads of good Ohio cattle
weighing from !, ,425 to Las pounds were
sold at 81 so to 81 90 per cwt. Buyers were
not plenty, and markets opened strong at a
shade better prices than were obtained a
week ago. But with the exception of the
sale noted above there were no beeves sold
in carload lots as high as S. per cwt. A
great scarcity of prime beeves is reported
from all live stock centers. In to-day's Of
ferings were 10 carloads of bulls, which
were not in demand equal to supply, and
markets were slow with prospect that
there would be necessary concessions in or
der to unload.

H. There were 25 loads of hogs on sale at
the opening of markets, against the same
number a week ago. A few more loads

per cwt. on last weeks prices.
