Toronto, Deo 10.—The run at the City Cattle Market to -day was 90 cars, with 1,465 head of cattle, 1,898 sheep and lambs, 400 hogs, and 154 calves. The mild weather showed its effects on the butcher meat market in a most unmistakeable manner to -day. The local butcher trade is very captions just now about loading up with a lot of meat on hand in the face of a period of muggy weather, and with trade conditions generally not favorable to laying in high priced meats. The bulk of the demand to -day, in fact, was for the cheaper class of cattle to supply immediate wants, with only a limited demand for the choice botcher cattle. The supply of the latter olase was not very plentiful, the holdera of such stock evidently preferring to hold for a few days nearer to Christmas, when the weather and other conditions may show some improvement. From these various causes trade was very slow, and draggy to -day. Prices were not materially changed. Good stocker cattle are in demand at advancing prices. Hogs—Market firmer.
