New York Cattle Market.

The price of Beef today IS nominally ~
shade lower than last week, while really, in
consequence of dull sales, the average rate is
nearly . cent a pound less for actual weights
Extra, or first quality still fed cattle sold for 10
@1Ois p p for estimated weight of Beefin the
fore quarters. Good retailing market Beet, 9ts
a 10c, Ordinary or most common quality i'll
market So a &C., with very fair estimates of
weights Most Of the cattle in market to-day
are rather light steers, 3 to years DID, and only
above fair working order.
The Kentucky cattle, and part Of those from
Ohio, are just IN the condition of thrifty grow
ing steers, the weight of which might be in
creased one-t third in one year Ivy high feeding.
The price of Beef having once given way
during this hot weather, it will be difficult for
drovers TO rally it up again to the extravagant
high rates which has prevailed for some months.
That it Will fall our readers may Judge from
the fact that the market was so far overstocked
to-day, that dealers drew ont and held back
one-ffth of the number on hand
/ SwiNE-The price of Swine remains without
changc-Gc. Per lb. live weight. The market is
well supplied. At Forty-fonrth-st, about 800
Ohio Hogs, part of which came by railroad and
part on foot, are on hand and two hundred
still fed at the Union Yard. Those of 60 TO 100
! lbs. are the most saleable.
Cows AND CALvEs-All the places Of sale have
been well supplied, and trade dull during the
last week. The largest number of those offered
are sold below $40. / rarely see one worthy of
particular notice. / saw a very fine looking
large COW, eight years old, with big udder, and
coed calf, offered and refused at $50. A great
number are sold at half that price, and frequen-
/ tly less.
/ VEAL CALvEs.-Have fallen off nnumber and
price, &c. per 1b. live weight has been the ruling
price for long time. Some have been sold a
cent below that during the week The large
I numberreceived at Forty -fourth-st. are from the
cosnties up the Harlem Road. Some of them
are too young for human food, and the best are
not the most healthy in such hot weather.
4 SHEEP AND LAMPS, are now abundant, and
prices have given way much more than the diff
ference in value between shorn and unshorn-
Chambcrlin gives the following as fair quota
tions for sheep in average lots-1Gs, 2Gs., GAS,
Cs.; and for Lan5g-20s, %, 43s VIM De-
heart, a large dealer at Chamberlins, told me
that his sales of 900 lambs just averaged 81
so, and that sales of good mutton sheep just q.
; bout equalcd $4 each fog those weighing 100 lbs
live weight.
Browning's quotations are slightly different
, ranging So to 81 for sheep, 1926 to 5000 for
Lambs None but very choice animals bring
/ the highest prices no@. Some of the lowest
quotations are for lots no fit for mutton, which
are to betakcn to the country and fitted. saw
a good lot Of sheep from steuben county, sci
ling at prices just enoagh TO clear s. over ex
penses. The owner assures me that he couli
: have taken $500 and probably, s3,25 a
home.
NEw-YoHK AND Bosroa MARKETS COMPARED
, From personal observation made last week al
the North Cambridge cattle market, / find pri
