CHICAGO. Oct. 15.-Very few good cattle
were seen among to-day's offerings. There
was a full supply, but ii consisted for the
most part of half-fattened natives and
rangers. OF the latter alone there were
12.0W-estimated at 1000 Westerns and L.
500 Texans. Such grades as exporters seek
were scarce, and in spite of the uninviting
condition OF foreign markets that sort was
wanted at strong prices. In the grades be-
low good there was weakness, as was to
supply. Such grades of natives that must
compete with range cattle sold badly-in
fact, anything that was not good enough to
send across the water moved slowly. The
best steers are quoted around $6.15. but none
of to-day's offerings had the quality to
bulk of the steers. and s.75Q2.5o were the
prevailing prices for cows, heifers and
bulls. Western rangers were quoted at
$1.50Q4.50 for poor to choice, though there
were few sales outside of s.. Only
a part OF the 1,500 Texans received were on
for a poor to- extra Quality. The tendency in
ripe beeves seems to be to a higher range
of prices. but no Improvement in common
Westerns is over.
Lower prices had to be accepted for hogs.
From &c to loc was taken OF at the put

$50. and exceedingly few at better than
$3.50. The prices most frequently paid were
$4.soq5.2s for medium and heavy weights
and A.S5d5.15 for llght-averages of less
than 200 lbs. The fact that the receipts
were from 5000 to 5000 larger than a ma
jority Of the trade had looked for was the
cause of the weaker condition of the mar
