LIVE 8TOCK AT CHICAGO.
Weekly Review of the Chicago Live Ktork
Market.
TSpkoial to The Xewk. I
Chicago, January 3.—The cattle market
during the pant week has been rather irregu-
lar, owing chiefly to the straggling manner in
which receipts have come in.
Shipping stock opened with a general de-
cline. No classcould be disposed of within lOo
of previous quotations, while, aside from goo J
to best grades, there was a shrinkage of 153.
Buyers were inclined to hold off predicting
that the advance of the week before -would
surely result in overstocking the market and a
drop^to former figures. No prime or fanr-y
heavy cattle were offered and prices for such
were merely nominal.
Butchersf stock was also in full; supply and
sold much cheaper. The soft wet weather
which prevailed during the early days of the
week, made the demand less than it otherwise
would havo been and sellers had hard work to
get rid of their consignments, though they did
not hesitate to freely slash prices. Siles were
at a reduction varrying from 10<g;15c and che
age
Little was done in stackers and feeders and
the few lots offered went at nearly former
prices.
As the week advanced the market for goad
to best grades was active and much firmer.
Supplies did not come in so freely as many
had exDe^ted, and there was a more confident
feeling all around. Offerings of fat beeves
were short of the demand. A number of hun-
dred I ead more of that sort would have found
buyers at strong prices. Of the poorer sorti
there was enough, and while prices for such
were sustained the feeling was by no means
buoyant.
ButchersJ stuff ruled dull. The best of the
offerings were taken at very full prices, but it
was impossible to move the poorer sorts ex-
cept at concessions. Even good fat caws an l
heifers were 10c off, and some sales showed a
reduction of 20c.
Btockers and feeders were slow and wealr.
Offerings were fair and the demand light.
Toward the close of the week receipts showed
a big falling off and the previous loss wan
about regained, prices being nearly the same
as were current a week ago. There has been a
scarcity of mature fat cattle, but a great many
telegrams have been sent out for good beeves
and now, unless western shippers exercise
more thau ordinary caution and buy anil ship
regularly, they can scarcely fail to glut the
market. Thin, rough animals are in small re-
quest and sell fairly well only, because of the
meager|general offerings.
Cows and mixed lota of good grade were
firm, but half-fat inferior kinds were barely
steady. Local butchers were the principal
buyers.
All offerings of stackers and feeders were
taken and daily supplies well cleared up.
Prices close a trifle higher than last week, with
the feeling firm.
Quotations close as follows:

Mexican Itema.
The Maverick says: A couple of Mexican
citizens from the interior of Coahuila, Mexico,
came over to Eaglo Pass on last Monday and
purchased a lot of calicoes, etc., and attempted
to leave Piedras Negras for their homes with-
out paying duty on their goods, and were
quickly nabbed by the Mexican officials and
jugged on a charge of smuggling The ixtlo
plant is indigenous to Mexico. In general ap-
pearance it resembles a century plant, or aloe,
but its leaves are longer and more slende-r.
Scattered through the center of these pulpy
leaves are a number of round, tough, elastic
fibers. These fibers, when extracted, which
work is yet performed by hand, are packed in-
to bales and shipped to the United States,
where they are woven into a tough cloth.
On account of the increased travel expected
during the New Orleans exposition, tho fare
on the Morgan line of steamers between Vera
Cruz and New Orleans has been reduced to $3'i
first-class and $18 steerage. At present the
Whitney is the only steamer running, as the
Harlan is undergoing repairs, after which two
trips will be made every month by each
steamer.
It is proposed to bring the remsins of the
heroic revolutionary general Abasolo, who
died March 14, 1810, a prisoner in the Santa
Catarina castle at Cadiz, Spain, home and
inter them in Mexican soil.
Messrs. Jardon and Pran, the political con-
spirators, are still under police censorship
though nominally free, and the friends of the
parties protest. The printer Vidal Corral, who
