At all but two of these markets the price per cwt. for each 

 grade stands below the quotation for the same months of 1895. 

 The prices in the inferior grade are always somewhat wide. In 

 the medium grade, or second quality, the range between one 

 market and another of the averages thus computed is between 

 29s. 2d. at Liverpool and 33s. 4>d. at London. In the case of 

 prime or first quality cattle the Leeds quotation falls to 32s. 

 while the London figure is 36s. lOd. In the Scotch towns where, 

 as before indicated, the quotations are more numerous than in 

 the south, the prices of the first quarter for prime stock range 

 from 32s. 6d. to 34s. 6d., whi.e in the same quarter of 1895, the 

 prices ran from 35s. 5d. to 36s. 9(7. per cwt.

 each category in the second quarter of 1896 may be added : —
