UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS,
June 6.-Cattle-Receipts, 1850; shipments
800 The receipts of cattle thus far this
week indicate an increase of about 800
head compared with the same time last
week and 100 compared with the CORE
spending time a year ago. The receipts
to-day were exceedingly liberal compared
with the average for a Thursday market
and show an increase of nearly 300 over
last Thursday, when the receipts were
large, and nearly 1000 over the same day
year ago. The arrivals were principally
steers, but there was an average num-
Der of female cattle. The market in some
departments was sluggish, and in others it
appeared slow, but the best cattle all sold
a basis of steady prices. and others, as
predicted for some time past, were weaker.
All conditions considered. the market was
up to the expectations of statesmen. There
was an unusually good number of steers
arrived and the offerings included some of
the best cattle that have been seen here
this season, but most of these were in
large herds, and consequently had to sell
along with those that were less desirable.
Therefore, statesmen did not have an OPP
portunity to test the market for extreme
prices, but there was doubt that buy
ers would have paid as high as Sc and
possibly 500 for their pick. The market
was little slow but at late hour a
good clearance had been made. The sales
of the better class of cattle included 1850
10 kinds as high as s5.S5, with a number
of loads averaging 1,400d1. $50 lbs at $3.50,
and 1,S0OQ1, SS3-lb steers brought $685. rs.
Cattle averaging a little upwards of LOCO
lbs sold at $490@5.30, as to quality. The
best hefers were sold as high as $4.75d5.1 10,
and other sales were reported al $35Oa4.65
best sold as high as $3.50, several
punches sold at Aa4.35, and Gamers TO
decent COWS were reported at s1.90d3.S5.
