of high grade and fancy mixers Of
fered, the best of which sold at $3.50
$1O0. Fancy cows of good quality sold
at $55@$65, but the bulk of the sales
were made on medium grade mixers
at s30g$45. -. ,.. ..
The market was active for beef cat
tie, with the quotations of the preced-
ing day well sustained. Boiognas and
Gamers sold we'll at 1.90@212c., and
other grades of beef sold at &c. up TO
sac for the best oxen and steers The
supply was heavy.
