England Saturday night and Sunday

| ever, to meet all the demands. Beef
| cattle sold at about the previous range,

and bolognas and Gamers 3-4@6cts
Bulls were in moderate supply at

| veal calves was very poor, owing
| largely to the heavy receipts of
calves for New York state which were
of poor average quality but served to
depress the market for the better

supply of good veal calves. Good
| average veals sold at about 10013cts

a little higher in a few cases. Poor
