Condition of Other Markets.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS. Dec
H--Cattle-Receipts. 700; shipments light. The
marketing OF cattle thus far this week shows
an increase OF about 900 over the same time last
week and slight decrease compared with the
corresponding time year ago. The receipts to-
day were about 800 larger than a week ago and
$50 smaller than year ago. Many head of cat
tie had to be carried from yesterday and
the supply on sale as large as needed at this
time The market opened with a continued in
different demand for steers. and IL was more a
question OF finding buyers than In arranging
prices. Bids were very slow and buyers were
exceedingly careful in making their selections
Generally statesmen claimed prices were lower
again. but they varied as TO the extent of the
decline. Occasionally light steers that lust
suited the buyer sold almost steady, but heavy
grades were undoubtedly weaker, and sales
were at prices fully 25c lower than the close of
last week. Some OF the local packers were
complaining OF the continued scarcity OF cars
for transporting dressed beef. and at a late
hour II looked like part or the supply would
be left unsold. There a very fair demand
for stockers and feeders, and no change in
prices The market for female butcher cattle
appeared to be fully steady, and the trading
was reasonably active at current prices QUO.

Tor the regular sale of the Bair-Baker Horse
company, and the consignments consisted prin-
clpally OF fair to medium grades, there being
comparatively few strictly top horses in their
class. There was a good attendance Of buyers
ana very fair demand, but on account or the
quality, the competition was not as urgent as IL
might otherwise have been Consequently the
trading appeared trife sluggish to statesmen
and owners, and prices probably were not up to
expectations. but no doubt were fully as high
as two weeks ago. when quality and condition
are considered. The demand principally
from Eastern and Southern points. but fair
from other sources good clearance was final
ly made at current prices. The bulk of the sup
ply sold from $S5 to $1s5. but, of course. there
were number OF horses good enough to sell
from $50 to s175. and smaller grades were re-
ported low as $50.
