Live Stock Markets. Toronto, Ont., October 15. - Receipts were heavy to -day at the cattle market, and buying was fairly active, but yet a quantity of poor cattle remained unsold. Buying of stockers and bulls was about the best trade of the day.. Hogs were - steady, except for stores. There was hardly any buying for export. There were 82 carloads of stuff in to -day, which included 2,313 sheep and lambs, 1,700 hogs, 19 calves. In export cattle barely any trade was done. One car load was held for 2?,e per pound, but remained un- sold at the close. In butchers' cattle the trade was fair for good cattle, but these were hard to get. The ruling figures were as follows: - Good to choice,3 c n: 3?;e per pound; medium, 21c @ 3e per pound ; com- mon, 1 e @ 21c per pound. Stock bulls were rather quiet, at from `?bc @ 21c per pound, and must be good to bring the latter figure. Quite a few light stockers are being picked up to send to the North-west ranches, but prices in some cases are not very remunerating -2e @ 21.ie per ib. There is also a good demand for feeders for the distillery buyers. About the top figure was 3c per lb. paid for some. Extra choice feeders were from 2 e @ 3e per ib. Export sheep were quieter, dropping to 3,.c ' a' 31c per pound. Demand was not so good. Bucks brought from. 2:.1c «. 2:le per lb, and are not wanted. Lambs were steady at 3e per pound. Good to choice veals fetch from $4 fie $6.50 per head. Common to medium sell slowly, at from $2 m $4 each. All mileh cows and springers in sold, and the market held its own at from $20 @ $38 and $40 -the latter for extra choice bagged cows. Montreal, Oct, 14, -Trade con- tinued dull again to -day in live stock. Butchers were out in large numbers at both abattoirs, but the business transacted was comparative- ly small.
