ing at the East End Abattoir than it has

the following being figures realized:—Cat-
tle, 2o to 3 , live weight; sheep, 94 to $7

914 each. Tho animals offered generally
were superior to sales of the last few weeks.
The receipts of live stock at the Montreal
Stook Yards for the week ending Novem-
ber 21 were as follows;—Cattle, 1,336;
sheep, 1,194; hogs, 722; calves, 24, Fair
receipts of cattle for week at the yards;
the offerings were small and there was no
demand for export cattle, accounted for by
close of navigation. The local cattle mar-
ket was fair only, with a number left un-

cattle, of which but few were offered, the
heavy supply being mostly of inferior
stook bringing from 2e to 20. The sheep
