BEEF CATTLE.
We saw no evidence of any improveme in the market
this week but In respects, much poorer than
last week There rather good cattle on sale,
but the demand very moderate, they failed TO
bring any than the best figures quoted last week In
fact heard Of no sales AT c but some persisted
story told, however, by buyers, who always think,
pretend to, lat they paying from tic. to &c.
more for beef than they really dopay There were sales
to-day 70 and very many az from &C. To nc. The
average quey Of the offerings much the as last

this State, very many of which old, tough looking
creatures with but little fat 10 hide thor bones
thought that quite number would he lett over un
sold but the market active during the alter
nom, presume the supply exhausted The yards

SHEET AND LANES.
The market has ruc;iated TO a considerable extent
during the past week in consequence Of the Hight receipts
Of two three days likewise the heavy receipts OF
last week. Some days prices have ranged higher and
days lower than quotations OF last week but the
sales Of to-day closed about the rates that OBJ
tanned last week. The market poorer supplied and
very good lambs and wanted, although the
demand in the morning very moderate. The quality
VI the best sheep aud lambs has not been very extra this
season. and taking average the quality has been
quite poor, there having been brought IN so many poor
old sheep. which old 10 be OF profit much
longer hurried of market for fear that they
might die their owners hands during the coming
winter.
