again cheating and to be cheated. 1t is chea. all
round from farmer % consumer. We have case of a
large feeder in Hendricks county, Indiana, who, having
agreed 10 ell his herd deliverable on ceran day, at
SO much pound live weight, stuffed them the night
before with $50 bushels of meal and plenty of SALT so
that they would I'll themselves with water and weigh
heavy. One of the effects was that three Of them
died before reaching the railroad station aud Others that
live come here disc ased for New Workers to eat The
Just punishment of such q man would be to sell
drove to sharper credit, and lose the whole OF
them. The trick of stufing is all too common, aud is
sometimes practiced here by keeping cattle
lorg time on the cars without water aud tnen
taking them off ard letting them drink till they
look fat. Just as they come into the yards. 1t Is
pity that that or some other process had not been
adopted to make the stock here to day look httte
fatter because its actual appearance is disgrace 10
America It is wicked shame to destroy the very
seed of beeves as it is done by killing the smau tnlo

The weather to-day is dry and dusty, and not fM
the season, very warm In fact, it was cool before
sunrise enough for stout wooden coats.
We do not hear that the Gales at Albany for eastern
markets was very large the general quality not being
good enough, and the price asked tor the pest 700
high The sales here last week at the close of the
market having been so good, we presume ParteS
were encouraged by that to hold cattle we'll up tor this
market and the sales of 300 to butchers through
the week at Bergen were at prices deeioeoiy oe..e.
Yesterday were generally at from lc. q ID higher
than the same quality to-day.
VIII butchers ever learn that concentration of
business upon one market day is OF the things me-
cessary prevent these fluctuations OF prices which
are equally injurious in the long run to the drovers
We presume that considerable number of the
cattle in the yards TO- day will be left unsOh tonight
and if the right thing was done at least thousand
head would be driven out OF the city as too poor to be
eaten though we think the average quality ia better
than it has been upon two previous market days.
There are very few good cattle here to-day,
however, and that is the cause OF the price
Of ALL in face OF the large suPpy, holding
ND as il does. A few butchers must have good cat
tie, and those who have them to sell know it. and put
the price at IL l2c and that enables the holders of
the large stock of poorer ones to ask loa llc for
theirs and get it too, notwithstanding of the
grun,bnes of the day that the poorest cattle are
selling for 81 &c. In reply to that we assure the own
that if they get that for some OF the stock 10 the
Yards, they will get proporiobably the highest price
Of the day. and full twice its real value.
One of the best drOves here is owned by fdZel q

steers, sold to c. G. Cornell at SilO, are esmated, as
we think correctly by the buyer at cwt., though
