Returns of prices accompanied by live-weight are given least 

 frequently in the case of " inferior " or third-quality beasts, 

 but for first and second quality animals the prices afford a 

 basis of comparison. The general range of prices for these 

 qualities appears, so far as these figures show, to have been 

 almost precisely the same in the third as in the second 

 quarter of the year. 



The prices for the three months ending September with 

 those for the corresponding period of last year compare as 

 follows : —
