MAINE STOCK AT MARKET.
Cattle LOG, sheep 2S2, calves 342, hogs Is
TONE OF THE MARKET.


Election day had some effect on the
market for live stock, as there were
fewer buyers on hand. The receipts
we're light but this was due to the
election to only a small extent. The
Eastern train was very light, though
there was no election in Maine. The
market was quiet with some weak
ness. though there We're only moderate
changes in prices. Beef cattle were
n small supply, and the average quail
iy was not high. Only a few choice
cattle We're received. Prices showed
little change from last week. The
choicest steers and oxen, if any had
cen received, would have brought
from 6&07t2c.; No. l steers and oxen
"a @6ac.: god 5G5Ac.; the best cows
sell from 4n4Mc.; medium to good
COWS 3A@4c; and poor and thin cows
.1a@3Ac. Bulls range from 3M5c., ac-
oording t. weight and quality.
Veal calves We're in light supply,
with the average quality good, and
prices showed no change from last
week, the general run being from 10
Sc. with some choice heavy calves up
% &C., and poor thin calves down to
6 C. The demand for small calves is
very poor, owing to the recent agita-
zion against their use as food.
hogs declined slightly, being quoted
at S$sMS3sc., which latter was about
the top even for the best. The ar
rivals at the yards were light, and so
were the receipts at the packing
houses. Western markets were re-
,.orted weak and the packers are buy
ing only from hand to mouth. IN the
anticipation of lower prices. At the
decline there is d good demand, ana
.rme excellent hogs We're brought IN.
No change was noted in sheep ana
lambs. Receipts at the slaughter
!.ouses We're heavy. coming from Can
ada and the West, but scarcely any
were brought to the yards. Prices
NORMALLY were unchanged. at 3@312c.
for sheep and GI61hc. for lambs.
Only a moderate number of mllch
cows were tied up for sale. The mar
ket was quiet, but prices held firm, and
the T., ally good cows sell readily at
the previous range Of prices. The gen
eral average is from s25 to $50. with
fancy mixers up to s1OO or even higher
in special cases.
Live poultry was weak and lower,
14lsc, and ROSTERS 10M11c.
