Our quotations te day, as generally reduced half

the market, which is characterized by an unexpected
degree OF inactivity and disposition part of butch

compels them, at the reduced prices. They ap-
pear to act as though they expected 70 nd cattle fully
one cent pound net less to-day than they were sold
at q week ago, and this think would have been the

good many persons who operated FOR rise instead

four or five times between the feeder ard consumer,
some of them being now in third hands since they ar
rived in the city. This is enough to show the spirit
that was at work to affect the prices, and the odds the
butchers have TO contend with Still it is generally
conceded that the market full half cent lower, and
that owing to the strong determination of buyers not
to submit they get better estimates of weights SO that
we have come 10 the conclusion that the whole stock
may average g. head less than last Wednesday,
while the general quality is better. In iac,
the quality to-day is really very good. There
are some very superior Beeves and but few very
inferior while there only few here and there OF
the real scalawsg variety. Several droves have
scarcely bullock in them that weud net pass for far
market retailing beef. OHIO and Illinois furnish
about iourfths OF the whole number to-day, aud from
all we hear will continue to furnish good supply
during the Spring and early Summer. Drovers gener-
ally anticipate low market next week. and if il is So
il will afford farmers as favorable an opportunity
perhaps as any time to buy stock for grazing. Take
our advce-buy none but the best growing, thrifty
steers, no matter how fat they Generally speak
ing you had better pay $50 to $l0O each than so or
$50 each, the price per pound being the same.
Ths sales this week for Boston were very large-so
much 80 that the usual stock train could rotaccommo-
date all that offered. Ourrepor says 900 catte went
that way and We hear OF another hundred after that
This will lessen the demand next week and the result
of operations here to-day will rot be encouraging TO
spccuators so We may look for moss of the cattle in
droyers hands who brought them from home.
The weather to-day is such as should gladden. the
heart of every farmer. After drerchng rain, it has
come off warm enough TO make the whole grass-grown
surface of the earth sparkle Ike emerads
We notice petition IN circulation to-day 70 the Erie
Road, not to make any change affecting the Camp
Vile station and ecomn end other persons interested
to express heiropInon. 1t is matter in which drovers
and cs,tledesles al interested, and there appears
TO be remarkable degree of unanmity Of opi1on in
favor of the present location, and tha; the road give
some assurance Of its perInaneney; aud then, the
drovers ssy individual enterprise vii take care OF the
rest.
