TONE OF THE MARKET
Beef cattle found ready sale at
about last weeks prices. The best
cattle. of which fewer were received,
brought from 6 to cts. a pound, with
good steers and oxen at 51a cts. Some
extra good cows brought the latter
price, but the range for cows was from
81 to 4Ac.. with bolognas down to &c
Choice bulls brought up to Sc, with
the average about &c. The demand
was good on almost all grades
Veal calves ranged from 5h to &C..
live weight, with a few fancy calves
as high as &c. Very few command
that figure, however, and the market
for small calves is extremely poor,
most of these bringing only about 81
apiece.
Hogs were unchanged from last
week, at 55s to 5M cts. which range
was quite closely followed. The supply
was good, at the yards and at the
slaughter houses and the quality av-
eraged high
Sheep and lambs are unchanged.
Sheep sell at about SC. lambs at about
7c.. and spring lambs from So to Sc
each, according to quality and size.
Mich cows sell slowly The de-
mand continues light. particularly for
the ordinary cows. The best mixers
always sell well. The average is from
$25 to $50, with choice cows up to 800
Live poultry is lower with the re-
ceipts ample. Fowl quote at 13@13hc.,
and roosters to 1Oc. per ID.
