FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
Quotations on States cattle in the
British market fiuctuated during the
past week. The heavy supplies received
at Liverpool were far in excess of the
slack demand and beef cattle declined,
ate, the demand good, and the market
held steady to strong, with an advance
of zee per pound noted.
Late cables from Liverpool and Lon
don quoted live cattle at 12k@13Ac. per
h., dressed weight; and refrigerator
beef declined re. at 9A@10c. per h.
Three steamers from Boston carried
live cattle last week. destined for the
Liverpool, London and Manchester
markets. Exports of livestock from
New York during the last week have
been very light.

TONE OF THE MARKET. r.t
Receipts of stock were below the av-
erage. The Maine train was particular
~ light, very few drovers coming to
market, and those brought little stock.
Choice cattle were scarce. The quota
tons are unchanged at 6M61sc. for the
best, and 5&6c. for choice. Good cows
from 3Ia@4Ac. and ordinary cows from
3M31sc. The market for bolognas and
Gamers is very poor at 11s@2c. The Sc
we're inspection condemns so many OF
these that buyers are cautions.
Veal calves We're dull at 6@7c.. only
a few of the best bringing the top fig
ire Small calves sell from $1.25 each
to Sc. a pound, and are not in demand
at those figures. The average quality
was not high, and a considerable num-
Der of thin calves sold at SIC.
Hogs were in excellent demand and
competition was brisk. bringing a frac-
tional advance. Quotations are ~ q
ne, live weight, and SAGsAc.. dress
ed There was good supply from
New England points, but the receipts
from the West We're light.
Sheep and lambs were nominally I'M
changed at 3G5c. for sheep and 5@1c.
for lambs. Only a few We're received at
the yards and no sales We're reported.
Mich cows continued dull. though
The supply was small. The average
range is from s25Gs5O. with few extra
good cows higher.
The demand for live poultry was
good with the supplies moderate. Quo
tations are unchanged. Fowl quote at
15la6i16c., and roosters at 10M11c.
