Union Stock Yards, Toronto, Fesruary llth, -Buyers took care of this mornings fairly heavy Offering all right, and there was very little left unsold at the noon hour. There have been latger consignmenta forward for a Mon- day's trade, but the 4,000 head to -day was the largest offering at an opening market at the yards fer several weeks. Not only so, but the total shipment, included many loads of choice heavy export steers, which sold from $15.60 to $16.50, and good export steers, which cashed in from $14 to $15. It was a com- paratively easy matter to dispose of these Cat- tle, and the trade was no less active for choice killing cattle of any sort, or the heave ex- port stuff and good to choice butcher steers and heifers generally the trade was strong and active at last week's values. Common cattle and cows and bulls w,ere a shade easier, but marketable. The bop price of the day was $17.25. which was paid for six extra choice steers, whieh averaged 1230 pounds. It might safely be gathered from the tone of to -day's business that there are still openings for ex- pert cattle and choice butcher's, but the stab- ility of the trade will depend to some extent on the size of the daily offerings and the cemdition of the Buffalo market, which was reported easier to -414y. The stocker and feeder trade continued to be slow, chiefly because there %was nothing of good quality to offer. Milkers and spring- ers allio were a slew trade. Lambs were steady and active, with the bulk selling from *15 to 515.50, and extra clibise lambs up to $16. Sheep were tient at fia-pi, 39 to $10' for best quality. Calves were steady and in demand, the best veals, cashing ir{from $16 to $17. Hogs were reported firm at $17 fed and wat- ered. The f.o.b. price sent out to the country -to-day was $16, which may or may not hold geed for the rest of the week.
