ter what age, weight or sex were in good
demand and sold strong. The receipts
were $1,000 head less than for last Thurs

OF the week show loss OF 5000, as COM
pared with the same time last week. i,

sellers were indebted for whatever of i'm
Drovement the market may have shown.
Good natives were scarce, and of choice
grades there may at most be said 10 have
been none. The offerings of natives OF all
descriptions did not much exceed 4 900
