There was an abundance of cattle to-`day at the Union Stock Yards. The run of 54 cars included 1,196 cat- - tle, 33 sheep, I8 hogs and 51 calves. Everything passed off the market be- fore the morning was over, but trade was rather slow. Prices for butch- ers cattle, on the whole, were a lit- tle lower, due to the quantity of beef at hand and the small export busi4 ness that is being done. I ,,,,,I-; --V-rv -----u ... -yv.-- _..__-- A few ne exporters were bought to-day for $5,65 and $5.70, but the general impression amongst the deal- ers is that the local prices are still too high to make shipping protable. Notwithstanding the easier quota- tions for butchers, one of the best consignments of cattle on the market to-day was bought at $5.50 for but- cher'use, showing that the real ex- port trade is being conned to our own markets. Calves are being quot- ed $I lower, while export sheep, bucks and culls, are 25c higher.
