Although the opinion varies about the current prices
to-day the weight of evidence is that the market IL hoV
a. good for the drover by half cent pound as II was
last week and this opinion Is the more reasonaole
when we notice the large increase OF numbers IN the
wards and that this increase is mainly made up Oh
heavy red Oxen, great influx OF which nave staf'eu
in from farms within easy reach of the city, upon the
.,,.a,h of tho Et.Io advance noticed last week-so
that the lumber is not only increased but the average
weight is very considerably higher. These red Oxen
are now the favorie sort with hrstclass butchers
and all that are well fed eel readily to-day at prices
equivalent to 10 cents pound for the meat and several
psrs at lOIc. that are rated little extra. 1t may
therefore be sad that Zoe. is the top price to cash
customers to-day.
This day il tie most wintry one that we have had
his year. II is clear, dry and dusty, with strong
wind and piercing cold, much that buyers are not
disposed to stand long in the yards hggng for bar
sales 20 that az the number of drove low their
offers are considerably under the asking price ofahe
forenoon and in some this anxiety TO cose out
gives the appearance of a lower market than would
appear in a mild day. Il is, however, frst-rate ~ea-
ther 10 put beef on the hooks, and il probably will
continue so for some weeks, but we cannot see any
reason to hope for any permanent advance Of price
beyond 10 cents for irst.rate beef
One year ago to-day We had / SS cattle in market
and the prices were: For first quality, III a l2c.;
medium, lOi Gle; ordinary, 81 a lOc.i extra l2I
lic.; average, lie. These prices continued during
several weeks IN the Winter and then advanced,
under the impression that there was short supply of
beef cattle in the country This certainly is not the
now but there is short supply of money among
the lsborng class of city people, upon whom butchers
depend TO buy the largest part of the coaser pieces
of beef and upon which they ore very dependent for
profit, since the packers do not pay enough to cover
the deficiency in the cost after taking out ribs and
rounds.
We must therefore advise all feeders who
are holding on under the impression that beef
will be again high il last Spring, TO look at
facts, and exercise little reason and good co non
sense, and see whether they have any good grounds
upon which to base operations for rise.

If some Of the Western drovers will turn their at

choice Beef that Is eaten upon the tables Of Charles
ton hotels, and all that s eaten upon the steamers
running TO that beeaess city.
