The live stock market is weakening again.
The supply OF cattle and sheep MT for market is
rapidly increasing and in a short time the mar
ket viii undoubtedly resume its normal condi-
ton. But no material decline has as yet taken
place. The Eastern market is getting weaker
on hogs, and this has the effect of influencing
the market here toward lower prices, as the sup
ply of hogs is mostly drawn from the East now.
decline in dressed meats may be expected as
soon a. the stocks now on hand are worked OF
The grain and hay market is beginning TO
show stronger tone, though prices have not
been advanced.
But very little change has been noted in the
retail trade during the week. Navel oranges
are trifle lower and strawberries are becoming
more abundant few cherries have been re-
ce.ved and sell at 60 cents per pound. Poultry
In very scarce-in fact, the market is almost
bare. This seems little strange considering
the low price paid for eggs.
