cattle market reported lower mar
ket by A@hc. per lbs, with live cat
tie quoting at 10@1G&c. per h..
dressed weight, including the offal.

ket unchanged at 14A@14%c. per h.,
dressed weight, sinking the offal.
There were no shipments from Bos-
ton during the week, and the num-
Der shipped from New York was very
small. No cattle were received at
Brighton for the export traffic during
the week, and it is unlikely that there
will be any shipment by Boston
steamers during the coming week. es-
pecialIy while prices on heavy beef
cattle remain as high as now quoted
in the western markets.
