TONE OF THE MARKET
There was quite a good run OF STOCK
at the yards considering the trouble
in loading, because of the threatened
strike. The market was strong in all
lines, with prices generally higher.
Beef cattle showed a good advance,
the choicest cattle selling at 10 IL
and II 1-2c with good quality steers
and oxen IL and 10 lie and poor
to ordinary IL and 0 1-2c. The best
cows ranged from about ga to
s 3-4c, with a few extras above the
latter figure. Good quality cows
and 3-4c; poor, and 3-4c, and
bolognas and Gamers, IL and sc.
Bulls sold from to Sc.
Veal calves were in large supply
although yard offerings were light.
The greater part Of the receipts were
of rather inferior quality so that the
market for good calves was but little
affected. Average veal sold at 8 and
10c, with choice heavy veal up to
II 1-2c, and poor calves down to
1-2c. Small calves were in ample
supply at $3.50 and IS each.
Hogs We're in excellent demand at
about the previous prices, selling at
from IA 3-4M15 Ice live weight Dress
ed hogs were quoted a fraction higher
at 1919 Lee. There was a large number
of small pigs sold because of the pre-
vailing high prices. This will tend to
reduce the supply later, and so to keep
prices up.
Sheep and lambs were in very small
supply. with no change in the mar
ket. Sheep are quoted at 9G11c, ana
lambs from 11613c.
Mich COW trade was steady at the
previous level of prices The demand
is not active but good heavy mixers
are taken quite Well Average mixers
sell from s65TSaO. with choice heavy
mixers up to about $40. and poor cows
down to $40. At present prices for beef
COW Will bring more to kill than for
a mixer. unless of good quality.

with fowl 21622c. chickens o0@clc, and
roosters 14@15c' e
