came from Chicago. With the exception OF
one lead of Allegheny county cattle, there
were no heavy priv on the market This
one load, which averaged 800 pounds, was
held at 81 IS per cwt, but they were sold al
shade below this figure. Light tidy
butcher beeyes, weighing from LOO to
1000 pounds, were scarce. and sold at an
advance of 15c per cwt on prices of week
ago The highest price paid this week was
81 70
Fresh cows were not in as large supply
this week as last, and the quality of those
on sale was low. Very few sales were re-
ported above $50 per head Veal calves were
in fair supply and shade higher, with s. 80
as the top.

Live Stock Firms Review.
Following is report OF the weeks transac-
tions by William Holmes Co.:
Wereport IS loads of cattle on sale Monday
against 60 loads on Monday of last week.
Thirty loads were from Chicago and the
balance from Ohio Indiana and Pennsyl-
vnnia. There were two loads of sIop-fed
steers and two loads of slop bulls fed in
Pennsylvania, which sold about same as
T.ad
with better feeling at 1Oc to l5c advance on
handy lat butchering cattle, which we're in
demand and very scarce. Coarse fat and
green halflatted cattle were dull sale at
about last weeks prices. Buyers are now
beginning to appreciate good grain-fed
stock, and we will soon have to make a
much wider spread of prices, as we feel
quite sure good grain fed will go higher in
the near future, while half fatted slippery
beeves will go lower. We quote prime L 400

Sheep were in fair supply on Monday. The
quality was common and markets were dull
at shade lower prices, while good fat
sheep we're scarce and sold readily at about
last weeks prices. In our judgment good
fat sheep will continue to sell for good
prices all season. We look for low prices on
common grades. Since Monday receipts
have been light and. as the quality has been
poor they had to be closed out at a shade
below Mondays prices. We duote prime
