S5 CATTLE—There was nothing of special i est to note in connection with tho cattle mar! during tho past week. The receipts wera tha lightest of tho eeason, aggregating only 5,525 hcad, but with little demand, ~either from local or outsido buyers, this meagro supply proved in overy way emple and acllers svers not successful to any particular extent ‘in their efforts to work up prices. Tho interruption of trefic occesioned by thesevere snow storms which Liavo prevailed st tho East, retard operations on the part of shippers, while the diminished consumption of bect resulting from the large smount of poultry and game that inevitably accumulates on the market during tho bolidays, kept city butchers {rom operating to any large extent, and, light as wero the daily arrivals,scllers were bothered not 2 littlo to Loop the pens cleared. The offcrings made a somewhat botter average than those of | last week, there being fewer cows and thin steers, and o proportionate increase of fair to good bevees. Theextrem erange of the market was 31.75@6.50—tho inside quotations for bulls, and the outside for extra-graded siesrs. Tho 7Kg0 bulk of the transactions, however, were within tho range of £3.00@3.75 for common to good cows and common to good stock stears, at $1.25@5.00 for common to medium shipping steers, and 5@5.75 for good to chioice shipping steers, ‘The receipts of Texas cattle have been small, but of ugusually good quality, some droves uf fat corn-fed Toxan steers commauding $4.25@4.62)¢. The ruling prices are $2.50@3.50 for common 10 good droves, and £4.00@4.50 for prime to choice. There isa rteady moderato deraand for veal calves, and prices have Leen subjected to but elight varia- tion, sales making at $3.530@4.00 for common coarso heavy, and at $4.50@5.50 for gocd to choice light, with & fow exra at $5.75@6.00. New milch cows are beginning to arrive with some freedom, and are salezble at $20.00@45!00 per Liead, as to quality. : Within the past few days advices from the Eastern markets have much improved, the sup- ply being reported light at all pownts, with prices genorally bigher, and unless our receilus prove Targe, the coming week may reasonzbly bo ex- pected to bring o more satisfactory state of things here. Western shippers shoald, howaver, Jithbold, 3s fax s practicablo, poor cows, ead thin stock of all kinds. To-dsy ouly o Limited amount of trading was done, tlio supply being confined to somo 800 bead, most of which were of the commoner eorts. The markot closed steady and firm. QUOTATIONS.
