TONE OF THE MARKET.

Beef cattle We're little easier in
| tone. owing to the large receipts at the
yards. Buyers were at hand in consd-
cradle numbers, but the supply was
rather more than they could handle.
| Prices showed little change from a
week ago but those who brought cat
| tie in expectation of better market
were disappointed. only a few extra
choice steers at T34MSAc. while good
quality steers and oxen brought 6am
| 7isc, and thin and coarse em6Ac. The
best heavy cows sold AT 5iaM6c. with
good cows AZ m5hc, fair to medium I
@4s4c, poor to ordinary ga m4c and
bolosnas and Gamers 2AM3Ac. The
latter We're in small supply. Bulls
ranged from 31sm51Ac.
Veal calves We're in large supply and
prices were a little off The general
range of fair to good veals was from
61sm7l2. while very few, and these of
extra quality brought Sc. There is
scarcely any market for small calves.
Hogs declined slightly, selling from
71a@7a4e, live weight, and 9hM9a4c
