VIII our readers, before they jump a. the conclusion
that there is . permeren advance in the Price OF
cattle stop moment and reflect upon the cause ina.
csmpels us as truthful reporters, to advance our quo
tatioss lc. upon all grades and upon the es.lma'sd
average In the first place, we have too head 1889
than last Wednesday, end for the week the receipts OF
the whole city are 6l7 lees which, if all had been OF
such size and quality IS only profitable to farmers
or drovers to bring here fer sale, would have
been ss great Q number the city re-
ouires ct this season. Another reason why the
prices advanced to-day lie, because buyers had pre-
yously made up their minds that, owing to the breaks
in the railroads there would be light supply in mar
ket and that prices would naturally advance in conse-
quence. This led q good many butchers to come up
unuruay early fearing all the good stock might be
taken, and this gave sellers confidence and an AMI
mae appearance to the market that did not hold out
beyond o'clock, when there is general lu OF bust
ness for dinner At this time, too brokers Who have
been confined to their yards have, an opportunity to
look about and see how others getting along With
their saes.
Notwithst andng the small number Of cattle in the
yards and the toeraby lively sales Of the forenoon, it

after dinner, and that prices for the light Sort Of which
there was an undue proportion, were droopiag. The
truth is, the butchers do not want but few cattle this
week, and they will want fewer next week; ard il the
rise reported to-day should tend to bring 10 large
stock the price will go back to the 4ustaons of last
week or lower.
Thanksgiving Day, let every one remember, comes
next Thursday, and no man ever saw a good market
day for beef cattle the day before Thanksgiving,
Christmas, or New-Years. In particular this year it
will not be good because poultry is low and there is
growing tendency to keep holiday at Thanksgiving
time in this city and be is not the food Of holidays.
&c. Messrs farmers drovers brokers, butchers and ALL
look out for low market next week ifts full one And
if sre not greatly mistaken, you may look out for
continuance of low markets, until after all the grass
hoppers" ard "snow.fiss' that make up the scaawag
family have come in, as come they will from the pts
ror of this State which to be pretty fall Of light
cattle.
The general quality of the stock here to-day is not
good, and comes, nearly half Of it, from this State.
The receipts this week by the Erie road owing to
the food, have been very light, and consequently, the
sales at Bergen less than usual.
The number Of cattle sent East from Albany this
week has been small say not over 200 head. This IS
partly owing TO the small number arriving from the
West partly to the fact that fewer are wanted where
Thar ksgvipg is so universally observed under the
roast turkey influence ard partly because some OF the
drovers that went 10 Boston las. week came away
with $40 or 25 head less thantheir cattle cost them
MEETING OF DRoyERs.
As stated in our last report would be the case,
meetir Of Drovers was held at the Girard House in
this city, at which Mr.. Isaac r. Lodsr of Indiana was
chosen Chairman and Mr. H. r. Smith Of Illinois was
appointed Secretary.
The subject Of the advance OF railroad freight was
pretty fully discussed, and the meeting
Re,olred That COMMITTEES Of FIVE be spponted-one from
Illinois from Iowa from Kentucky one from Ono and

road coppaI ies ASCERTAIN the best arrangements that

route.
The procee dngs were very harmonious, and all con-
cured in the determination TO work against the rail-
road combination.
Among the sales noted to-day we find room for the
following brief notes:
Probably some of the best cattle offered were lot
of Western grade Durhams, grszed, fed and s,ld by
