very dull and prices were ratliee;
lower than the very lowest, of Thurs-

the case with common and inferior
stock. A few head of the best cattle
sold at about 3e per lb. with pretty
good stock at fromenc to Sic per Ib.;
common dry cows and rough steers
sold at about 3c, and the leaner,
beasts sold down to tbout 2e per lb.
It is ,probable that a considerable
number will have to be held over'for ,
another market. Calves sold fairly
well at from $2 to $5 for common,
and from 1,`,16 to $10 each for superior, ,
ones. Mr, Bourassa, bought a super-
ior calf fbr $10, and several others at
about $7. He also bought 37,
lambs at from $3,85 to $3.75 each,
common lambs sell itt from $2.25 to
