TONE OF THE MARKET.

There was only moderate amount
OF stock at the market, and trade was
rather quiet, with the changes in
prices small. Beef cattle We're in mod
crate supply, and prices, while show
ing Il weaker tone. were not appreci-
ably changed from last week. A large
part of the receipts consisted of poor
cows. A few fancy cattle We're brought
'61aM712c.. with No. / steers and oxen
from 5i2@614c, the best cows from
4 " M5c.. ordinary to good cows from
3R@44c.. and poor cows, Gamers and
bolognas, from ohM3Hc.
The demand for veal calves was eX-
cellent, with fancy calves a little high
er than last week. The average for
good and choice calves was from 8@ &C.,
and small and poor calves sold from
SEC. upward. There was only mod
crate run, and it is thought that there
will be very few at the yards next
week, on account of the holiday Mon
day. For this reason buyers were
more eager to purchase this week.
Hogs declined Ac. per pound, being
quoted at 7%MSc., live weight. and
912 q Zoe, dressed. Sales were made
down to 71ac., but these We're few. The
receipts at the yards We're about as
usual, but the packing houses received
u substantial amount from the West.
and the market was well supplied. The
demand was good.
Very few sheep and lambs were
brought to the market, and the re-
ccipts from the West were smaller.
while the shipments from Canada are
over for the season. The market is
very dull, with prices weak, sheep sell
ing from ~ 13hc., and lambs from
5m6c
Mich cows were i'm limited demand
and the offerings were about the usual
number. Fancy mixers sell readily at
any time, but the general run of cows
goes slowly, with prices quite a little
below the recent figures. The average
range is from $300D$60.
