Eli Virgin Ill. l6iW. u. hutchinson, lL''.' ~
We have advanced our table of quotations to-day a
half cent upon all grades bu. the advance in fact
greater than the figures indicate because owing
TO having over thirteen hnndred less cattle in market
and general scarcity Of real frstelass beeves, the
grades as well as price has been advanced in some
cases. no doubt, a cent pound, considering quail
ty and estimate of weight. We are sure that some
cattle sold to-day at fu. estimate of weight, at u u
&c. y fb that were coarse that they would have
rated last week, snly medium, and been of dull
sale at medium rates. There several things COM
bined to advance the price this week that of last
week and the week or two before. There arc fewer
catte and the most Of them of only ordinary or
medium sort.
In fact, the stock is very to-day, and neither
good or bad. The weather is clear, dry and cool
enough to keep meat sweet. good many Of the
cattle in the hands Of uen who bought at Albany
and other places purpose for rise and Of course
they operate for it, ar other willing to join
them. Cattle were all held hard on Tuesday for this
object, and the butchers, being the easiest set Of
morals il the world, submitted TO the skinng process
as quietly "a their own animals.
The truth is, the butchers, as class, are great
patrons Of the race course, and the brokers being
aware of that tender passion took advantage OF their
hurry TO buy, and touched them in their pockets to
the tune Of say $3 head for their cattle making
about $l0 600. Those who held hard as TO have
cattle hand this afternoon, found the buyers
est, and the market tat, stale and unprohta1le On
the whole, however, the drovers would be jolly but
they learn that the railroads have all combined 10
raise the freight stock and 10 dlop free passes
for the return Of drovers and tO limit the nsaber
companying the transit Of the stock eastward. They
also limit the weight os stock IN each car To lo O fb,
aud charge pro rata per pound for the excess.
This regulation is to commence Oct. l. and win bear
hard upon some who have stock already bought or on
the road. IL will, however, operate as bonus TO all
the stock IN this part O. the State To amount, it is
thought by some, equal 70 g head for heavy beef
cattle. Farmers may as well hold easy little to
what viii be the effect Of increasing the freight upon
Western stock. The limit Of "a load" OF beeves
hereafter will be twelve bullocks Ut 100 each and
10 hogs, that viii average 80 h, will make
load, and an average of l60 fb win make 100 fb of
extra freight" In all this, however, the drovers
sse one good sign. 1t viii hurry up the building OF
canal cattle boats TO by steam from Buffalo TO
Eew-fork in four days, feeding and watering the
stock the boats.
We have lately found by personal observation that
there are great many good cattle YET to come mo
market from this State. In the Chenango Valley
thee are good many, and of them already very
fat and the corn crop is excellent, and pumpkins and
potatoes, grass and hay are very abundant. In the
Genesee Valley there are many excellent cattle Ane
hrst ANAL intalment Of 81 out OF 4oO upon the farm
OF Milton Bndlong, in market this week. There
are some other heavy feeders, and many smaL ones
who hsye not yet sent forward their cattle.
There quite little excitement a. the Albsny
Cattle market this week. The Sew-York and Boston
buyers bid against each other, very much ~ the
ioymeD' Of owners. Only about 100 bead are
ported M going East.
