! Tribune of yesterday says:
| We call attention to some curious facts in our
cattle market report for this week. Never before,
since New York was New York, has the average
price of beef cattle ranged so high as on the last
market day. The average rate per pound paid for
one hundred and thirty-seven head Is given at 2
liz cents. and the estimated average weight at
| cwt.; which would make $67 SO per head. This
will be readily understood when it is noticed that
large numbers sold at over 800 each, and one
whole drove at $40 head
