Seldom Lave We had occasion to re-
port a make. as high as the present one.
Good judges WHO have been weekly at
tenants at the sales for tw o..ty fyc years
say they Lave not Known Prices rule as
high as to-day, during this season OF the
year. A. NJ. Allcrton Limsclfsays they
nercr have been as high heretofore, du-
ring late summer and eatly fall, when
the supply is expected to be good -
Taking tie light weights If partially
fed grass cattle into the account, togcth-
er with the fact that hides and tallow
are both low, and there have been very
few markets at Gny Sev:~h when butch
ers have bought with less prospect of
profit. The short supply Of last week
and a deficiency il the present receipts
account for the advance of to. day, which
we call a little more than lc.
Under the impression that the supply

actually the case, free purchases were
made yesterday at a greater advance
even, but some 200 head coming in
from Albany this morning, and ono or
two lots arriving from over the river du-
the forenoon, prices declined in the
latter part CT the day, and only those
purchasers remained who were compelled
to buy. These took the smallest num-
Der that would suffice for their present
wants, SO that 2,0II cattle offered at
Allerton's for yesterday and to-day were
cleared out at night. With
about 500 retailed at Bergen, the foot
2,704, against 2,508 of last week, and a
av@rago last year of 3,54S. The
Of the cattle continues to i'm
prove and.several lots were ranked as
prime qualities, or even premiums"
Some of them we're sufficiently large
and fat for cool weather, but in a short
like the present they found quick
sale. We have frequently alluded to
the fact, that at a full market, cattle
could be bought and taken to grazing
grounds, and at a suitable time returned
at q hand some advance over cost and
Several lots purchased in this
way last Spring, and others bought with
in a few weeks, we're sold to day at prices
quite satisfactory to their owners. We
strongly urge most extensive operations
in this way, and it will be Of real service
to the consumer to have the surplus of
an overstockod market gathered up, and
returned to the yards at some future day,
when the supply is short, even with this
addition. About 600 cattle left Albany
en- route for the Eastern cities, and we
believe no cattle were beld back, but on
he contrary many State cattle were
lurried in, or the supply would have
,een quite short. The table of States
.ives GIG from New York, more than
his State has furnished of late for any
ne previous market.
