Dallas, CTex.,) News: Heavy wagers
have been made lately that beef steers
would sell for cents a pound, live
weight, in Chicago, before the end Of Sep
TENDER. One party in Colorado has placed
5000 on such a result and feels confident
of winning.
The Chicago Drovers' Journal remarks:
If cattle had been held back during the
past few months, and great number re-
manned to come at the breaking of the
dam, the present light marketing of cat
tie would not be so significant, but as
rule the cattle have been forwarded quite
as fast as ready for market
Buffalo Mercantile Review: Included
in the pigs that are coming OF late, are
a number that are of the strictly grassy
order. They have weight and size enough,
but lack in quality to make them desira-
bic for the butchers. Some OF this class
that weigh 12O pounds and better were
among this weeks receipts and were very
hard TO dispose of, selling for skip pig
prices"

COO Prices were moderately advanced
within the week, but closed at about the
same position as a week ago in the aver
age for prominent markets. From the
lowered position Of the markcr at the
close a week ago there was some subse-
Quent recovery in prices OF leading arti-
cles Of product, and later a return of
weakness in the market, which. however.
displays a better turn at the close, so
that the week ends with a fair advance
in comparison with a week ago. The out
look appears to be for moderate supplies
Of hogs in the near future. but no real
shortage. The rains have decidedly i'm
proved pasturage in the West. and this
may have some influence in retarding the
movement of stock for awhile. The cur
rent distribution is OF fair proportions. but
not really liberal, the takings Of the trade
being generally in comparatively small
lots. Export clearances product for the
week were of fair volume
