Haney has called a LIVE STOOK MARnJtTS Toronto, Dec. 20th — Union Stock Yards—Receipts for to -day, 85 cars; 1,153 cattle, 62 calves, 87 hogs,. 855 sheep and Iambs, and 520 horses. The Christmas week opened, as usual with a very light run, and this will in all probability be the character of the market all through this week. Though packers and the trade generally are said to be well supplied with beef for the holiday, the light run of cattle to- day induced a good active demand for .handy butcher cattle, and, in fact, all grades except heavy steers were from l0c to 15c higher. Several loads of choice heavy cattle sold at $7.65, which was better than the low bid the latter part of last s eek, but was not so good as the best average for Christmas heavy steers nine or ten days ago. For the choicest handy -weight butcher steers and heifers prices were good and firm. Choice fat cows and bulls, were firm and higher, but canners were not more than steady. Sheep and lambs were steady, but average quality poor. Hogs quoted steady and unchanged from last week, but less than a hun- dred on the market.
