BEEF-Good marketable Cattle Cd Monday sold brisk.
~ a, II as cts per 10 and the demand scarcely sup
pled-the market being entirely cleared We again
call the attention of Farmers the reports contained
under this head being OF the actual
worth OF good csttethet say the prices which the
Butchers obliged pay. 1t ia Of the inter
est OF spectators keep down the quotations of Beei
that Ce;tle DC purchased ow prices by them
and sold othe Butchers large proht-but the Farm
the Butchers and the consumers all sufferers
1t indeed the opinion OF that the whole system
of Caite-buying prsctced. ought TO be broken
up and that the Farmers and Butchers ought 20 come
face to buy and sell without the assistance OF
any intermediate agency whatsoever. Why cannot the
Farmers establish Cattle Exchange OF their own.
where such of the Butchers pecunisry indepen-
den, OF the spectators could resort and thus all
eventually be released from the ex,ortons and iposi
tons to which they are compelled to submit, and
which they partially reinaic upon their customers In
this way too the proportion of Beef furnished by the
neirhberhood of the City would be greatly increased,
and the evils of tired death unwhoesome and haggard
cattle driven from distance and kept on starvation
diet till sold much diminished.
