The firmness oí the proce ding market induced many to ahip to Eastern markets, but many of the smaller consignera sold out, leaving the market to larger operators, who were preeent in full foroe. Cattle did not improve in quality. The run was largely oí medlam gradé, which were old at 3 l-2a4 l-2c. These were secured by shippers. Few cholee lots were ofiered and no home demand therefor. Transactions continued until a ate hour, and considerable contidence was man fested in the murket. Hogs were shipped to this tuarket in large [uantities, and considerable activity among ackers here was noted in securing lots suitable or their trade. The qualities ranged from the joorest to the choicest, the former predominatng and showed a continued improvement in State lots. Prices for choice packing lots ruled rom $G 50 to $7 : medium from $5 30 to %i, the atter in poor demand. In aheep there were few transactions, but , rices were ñrm and shipp3rs unable to get their uil complementa. A very choice lot brought 15 ló, averaging 105 lbs. Medium lots brought 14 25, and inferior grades 13 67. The diminshed supply is a matter of comment. Kino's Caitle Yabds, ) Deteoit, Mouday evening, Nov. 23. CATTLE. The Sunday market was botter thau usual, and as a consequence Monday's market found ocal buyers neariy all supplied, vet there were various opinions expressed regarding Monday's market. Some called it brisk and full, better than last week, while others called it dull and lower. As there were very few sales at the scales, but most all by the head, it is diflicult to estímate from a looker-on standpoint, but it seemed quite plain to the writer tliat real choice stock brought at least full last week's figures, while tho culis dragged heavily at any figure ; but it should be borne in mind that the weather was very unpropitious - mud knee deep, wind a living gale, with flurries of rain and snow, and stock looked their very worst. We quote : Choice beeves, shipping steers aud heiters, weighing from 1,200 to 1,500 Ibs U 25a5 25 Good butchers' steers and heifers, averaging 1,000 to 1,100 lbs. 3 00o3 75 Working oxen, well fatted, averaging 1,000 to 1,500 lbs, . . 3 50a4 25 Cows, common to choice, . 3 25a4 00 Stockers' and packers' medium steers and heifers, iu decent flesh, 800 to 1,000 lbs. . . 2 50o3 50 BHEEP. The slieep market was a little off, l-4c to l-2c perhaps. Eeceipts were light and qualities rather below the average. Daily te Fletcher sold 80 head,,averaging 8ü lbs., at Í3 25 a head : I. Jones sold 59 head, averaging 85 lbs., at 4 l-2c. HOOS. Receipts were more liberal and prices, though better than last week Mouday, were not so good as on Saturday. Daily and Fletcher sold 63, averaging 210 lbs., at 6 l-4c; B. H. Morris sold 14, averaging 288 lbs , at 15 50, and 16, averaging 282 lbs., at $6 50
