Toronto, April 7th—With a rather light run of cattle at the cattle market business was fair all round. While there was no unusual signs of activity, still there was a very fair demand for both export and for butchers' cattle. The general ran of cattle offering was of fair quality with not a very large proportion of export. The usual run of export prices would be from $4.60 to $4.75. There was a fair demand for butchers' cattle, especially for choice quality light cattle. The rough, heavier cattle was more of a drag in the market, but every- thing was pretty well sold ant by the close of the market. Good mixed loads of butchers and shippers, best quality was selling at $4.10 to $4.30, picked butchers' cattle $4.25 to .$1.35; loads of straight butchers, gogd duality, $3.76 to $4.10; medium to fair lits .of butchers, $3.66 to $3.80 ;rough butchers $8 to 0.35; rough inferior cattle, $2.65 to $2.80. There was a fair busiuess doing in feeders and stockers with not too many of this class offering. There was unusual d inland for feeders, but good caltle of this class offering, •weighing from 1,100 to 1,200 pounds, fetch $4 and in some cases a little more up to a quarter. There is a fair market for good veal calves at $4 to :$5.50. In the sheep and lamb market sheep were steady, lambs dull, spring lambs steady. Grain fed lambs were quoted at $6 to 80.50; grain fed backs $5.50 to $6: barnyard lambs $4to$5;spring lambs, $2 to $5 Hogs were again quoted lower at 50.121 for the best selects and $6 for the light and, fats. The prospects of the r market will depend largely ou the out- look ut- h re h market, where D o h s a just -in.,he , 0 1. io now bacon is quoted at Iowering figures. To -day's ran was 59 cars, with 911 head of cattle, 540 sheep and lambs,317 hogs and 598 calves and light stockers.
