CATTLE-Receipts of cattle this week
have been quite liberal, the total footinf
quite so heavy as last week but about
the same as the previous week These
figures, however, show q little gain as

little little on sale, as usual on saturday, The
receipts have consisted very largely OF

HOGS-The hog market this morning
was in very fair condition, both as regards
supply and demand, but there was an

The market at this point, however, suf-
