And 40 lots Of TO head from this State
OF course will not appear strange 10 our readers to
the price OF beeves quoted to-day at an advance oil
a cent pound when the number for sale is noticed.
In fact the number in the yards to-day Is not probably
over 200 head which is less than We have had upon
any market day for several years. while the total mum
Der reported for the whole city in any one week has
not been as low as it is this week but once since We
have kept record. March T., 1856, there were 944
head for sale at AllertOns and ,SJ were all that
were reported for sale in the whole city for the
week. January 9, 1856 there S0j in mar.
ket, and 2,43S reported for the whole city. During
the past year, the only days when the number
of cattle approached the present number in the down.
ward scale, were the following: Jan. 81, 7o3 head;
Feb. II, l,o36 head; March 4, 1917 head June ,,
1,5E. Upon those days the number for the week at
Alertons was respectively 096, ,J99, ,5FI 6l2.
And for the whole city, 2,l97, 2Ij, 100, 1874. 1t
thus appears that with the exception of March l.,
1885, the number to-day and the number for the week,
il less than We have found at any time in four years.
A year ago to-day, the number in market was ,796,
and the total for the week $50, and the
prices ranged higher than to-day, or at least
full as high. The week after there Were 9, l4j
in market, and 2,79S reported for the week,
without any falling of of price. Upon this data, par.
ties interested can make their calculations. They
will not fail to that the proportion of Western
cattle is less than have ever known it before-in
fact this State is furnishing almost the entire supply of
the market, and that this supply must soon be ex-
haus.ed, and then-well, We shall see what then. II
the West still holds back We are told they will IN.
less the railroads reduce their lreght to what it was
last year, shall have to pay for our beet, quit
eating.
The weather to-day has been uniavorsble a. upon
any day among the many stormy of the last six
months. 1t showed yesterday and last night which,
mixed with mud in due proportion, makes mass OF
slush underfoot while the rain drzzlng all day
from dark clouds. 1t is decidedly damper to body
and spirits so that notwithstanding the very few Cattle
in the yards they not selling rapidly. In fact, at
the advanced prices all but the very best need as
much pushing old stag-team 10 make them CO.
and a number of the poorest will hold back a. hard a.
the said team before night. Many butchers will only
buy one where they usually buy six To ten, aud
some who have stock of meat or cattle on hand will
not buy at all to-day. As Friday is Ncwlcars, of
course the usual Second Market of the week will not
be held and therefore, notwithstanding there may be
. pretty fair supply IN market next Wednesday We
think il will b. good day for drovers
