no improvement in quality and an unsettled

statesmen believed they obtained almost
steady prices compared with yesterday. and.
In fact. few cattle sold at the same prices
that were offered for them yesterday, but,
as a rule. transactions were considered 1Oc

not hesitate to say that they were forced to
accept 4Oc to soc lower prices for some of
the less desirable cattle than they were sell

habitat and grass-fed cattle suffered most
and 1t was not unusual TO hear buyers say
that they could not use that class at any

cautioned for some time past to allow a
wider margin in buying all kinds Of stock,
they were apparently somewhat surprised
at the condition of affairs to-day and very
few expressed themselves as satisfied with

Indiana Regiments Battleflae

is being sen at the request of Gen.
Dodge, II Of the trustees of the
tomb. who has asked each of the
states for two flags to hang in the
tomb. Whcn the request was receiv.
I'd here II was found that all of the
regiments had turned their colors
over to the state with the exception
Of the Eleventh.
This regiment has always closely
guarded the tattered remnants of its
flags. AT the time of the unwilling

meeting and voted to send one of its
flags to New York and the others
were sent to the state house for safe
keeping. as they were becoming so

Owing to the tattcred condition OF
the flag, a blue silk banner. eighteen
by t%wenty.four inches, was made to
accompany II, and on this the names
of the battles of the regiment were
worked in gold bullion. The flag was
with the regiment mt the organization
of the Thirteenth army corps, and
was carried in every engagement OF
that part of the army until the time
