II will be seen at once that have reduced the
quotations to-day upon all grades, and, upon the aver
age half q cent pound while, at the same time our
tables show a falling OF OF numbers, and that the
supply is still below the average number required, both
for the week in all the city and for the great market
day. For this there must be some cause, and this
cause we think we can give.
In all our experience think that we have never
seen a stronger bear movement made by the butch
ers against the bull movement OF the drover' and
cattle brokers' II is for the interest of the bulls TO
toss up the prices high as possible, while sefpres
cryaton on the part of tho bears requires that they
should pull them dow andtoday they bent their united
eff tow arc the movement For time past good
many oyer-anxious butchers have run up here ON
Tuesday TO meet with greedy statesmen, to focsal the
market The operations Of last week sickened some
of them of that game and consequently very few were
sold this week on Tuesday; and certainly we have
never seen the butchers act cOoly as they did
to-day good many of the first class were mol hefe
while those that were walked the alley between the
sale pews upon the fence waiting for those VINO
had cattle for sale TO come to them and make their
offers. We have not doubt but this course made
$40 600 difference in favor Of the buyers This move
mept, though successful to-day, will not hold good
against permanent short supply of beeyes to meet
the consumption.
Another cause of the backwardness of buyers was
owing to report that some 200 head Of bullocks In
tended for this market purposey held back, be-
cause the owners knew there an over supply and
that pnces would fall, and that holding back stock
indicated that there 10 scarcity, and that prices
could only be kept up by management. .
The facts appear TO be about To this extent Al
