TONE OF THE MARKET.
The supply OF beef cattle was large.
particularly bolognas and Gamers. A
few choice cattle were received and
these did not sell so well as was ex-
pected. The choicest steers and oxen
bring from 6G611sc. with No. from
514@G, and good steers 5G5kc. Some
very poor, light steers sold down to 3s.
The best cows bring 3k@41sc. good
COWS s@Dsl1c. and .bolognas 2@Sc.
Veal calves were little weaker,
though the general range was I'M
changed. A few fancy calves brought
SIZE, but the general run was from Z
@71ac., with poor calves down to &c.
and drinkers and grassers 3@5c. There
was an ample supply.
Hogs continued very active, with the
receipts in adequate. For the best hogs
Size. can be obtained and good hogs
sell at SQsAc. Only the poorer hogs
sell below Sc. Receipts from the West
are light and the packing houses are
disposed to buy only small quantities
because of the high prices.
No change in sheep and lambs was
made and scarcely any were brought
to the Yards. Sheep bring 2@4c. and
lambs 5@7c. =.
There was good supply of mich
cows and the choice heavy mixers
sold readily at the previous range
from $50 upward. Ordinary mich cows
bring s25 to $50.
The live poultry market was lower.
Excessive supplies weakened the mar
ket and the demand is slack. Fowl and
spring chickens quote at 151a@16c.;
ROSTERS at 1O@10kc.
