CITY ITEMS.

NOVEMBER WEATHER we have pleasant cDenge
in the weather since Saturday which was as its fe-
low Lad beep one Of continual rain. Sunday, Non
day and Tuesday were days Of mild temperature aud
sunshne with clear, bright, star-t nights The
ground is pretty well saturated and we suppose
the old saying about full streams and swamps for
Winter to begin upon, has already been fulfilled, SO
that may look for rude, cold weather at any mo-
ment II is not unusual in this latitude to have very
severe cold snow Storms in the middle OF November
and we rarely escape such storm bsSsre the end OF
the month. So, look out. These ruaS ss.s may not
last another day. 1t is pleasant now, but Winter is
close upon us. Let us be prepared Pat nothing of
till tomorrow that can be done to-day.

mittees that have not already made their arrange

less desirable evening, or postpone their exercises TIL
Spring. Niblos, the Academy, and the City Assem-
bly, Rooms, seem to be the fayorites for the mon

already secured for anniversary and other important

the entire depth of the stage being added it forms one
Of the finest dancing floors in the city. When the en-

half dozen full orches,ras required to furnish
music for all the rooms at More than 5000 per-

BULI's HEAD.-Therc is not pleasant prospect or
lruvers this week. Tho Of beef cattle over the
large stock last market il considerable aud the number
is not only larger but the general Of the stock is
very much better. In fact, as far a. could see We
should say the general AVERAGE quality was decidedly
good-at any rate, very much better than II was last
market day and, notwithstanding the quality IL 30
much better the asking price yesterday was fa hall
cent pound lower than week sSo-ths. II, OILY nne
cents pound net for the best IL IS difficult 10 say
how low the poorest will before tie market closes
but We heard five TO six cents per pound talked Of The
number yardcd Tuesday evening footed up over 5,2",
without counting 800 in the yards On Sinfay and
Monday and over 2G0 stale cattle, making over ,V,
beside the supply by the Harlem road and soIne more

make Zoo in the Forty fourth-street yards THIS
week. This viii make up total for the city again
this week Of 1000, which viii DO quite enough to
account for any reduction below lat weeks rates that
VIZ may be obliged to make in our report of the cattle
make. to-day. The sales were rather Lighter than
usual for Tuesday and the market wore decidedly
dull appeararce yesterday, and brokers generally gave
up trying 70 sel about o'clock, and drovers no doubt
prayed for 8 change in their favor to-day. Ii viii
hardly c.Inc-ihe supply IS too large for the demand.
