as furnished by Holmes, Briggs & Co.:
We report 60 cars of cattle on sale Monday
against 20 cars the same day last week. The
offerings were mostly of common to good
butchering grades, which were slow sale al
8 to l0c higher than last week. The heavy
grades were not so plenty as last week. and
were all sold at about the same advance In
prices as the lighter grades. Tne higher
range in prices was due more to the higher
grades of prime beeves than the improve
choice on sale There is still a fair inquiry
for good thrifty young cattle to go on grass.
This grade is scarce in the country and very
few are offered for sale on this market. We
