to the Chicago market This class of stock
Is generally beginning to move forward
The decline in the price of steep is rather
unexpected. 1t is sad that the Western
ranges are oversupplied with l2mes ard ;ha.
the proportion OF lambs likely to be market

The outlook for live stock continues en-
ccuraging. 1t is reported that the European
markets are considerably higher than at tbs
time last year, and export demand is quite
LIBERAL In Chicago the receipts during the
past week show gain of about 9CO cattle
