Union Stock Yards, Toronto:De-
cember 24th. -There were not eighty'
head of cattle all told -on the market
this morning, and the larger buyers
having certain needs to' fulfil in order
to keep their plants going, there was
a slight competition for the better
grades of killers. The result was- a
10 to 15c stronger market for every-
thing above the common quality of
butcher cattle. The offering did not
last long and the yards closed down
until Wednesday mornieg. Very few
choice butchers were on sale and only
a limitednumber of good cattle and.
the best in the pens' sold from e10.25
to $12. Best cows andlturli also were
also scarce on a stronger market. The
bulk of the shipments was made up
of canner and snedium cows, which
cashed in from 45.50 to $8. The pens
were empty of stockers and feeders
and the few medium grade milkers and
springers forward were difficult to
dispose of at valises all the way to $5
lower. Lambs gind sheep were a gpod
active and firm trade, but best yeels,
and there wete not a dozen on. the
market, brought 25 cents firmer val-
ues. Quotations for hogs advanced 25
cents to $18.50 fed and watered, chlef-
ly- owing to a light run'. -
