This is the darkest day that droyers have seen this
Suins-dsIk beth sc TO weather and prospects of
uakirg ANYTHING upon their cattle. Yesterday was
bright sunny day, and although the prospect looked
bad. there was a hope. To-day the sunshine Is GIL
gone Il is rainy, muddy, gloomy day, and there -
DO hope that owners will Themselves from severe
loss II is estmsed by good judges that the losses OF
owners Of cattle viii average s. head. That woud
make total Of $3.50. We need make 10 further
comments TO show the condition OF the market %
those who are familiar with IT, To others We ssy ina.
the general opinion Of cattle brokers s that the raes
are full half cent below last week and we add tna'
the trade is extremely dull and of course weights aye
not estimated at all to the satisfaction OF owners and
the butchers show independence and careessness
about buying than we recollect ever to have seen
them; and we presume very lew oil the
first class buyer p.id 10 cents average price
TO-DAY and we know that some of them declared they
would rot buy ct gil they could no. get such est
tie as they wanted at 9lc upon fair weights and some
of the owners Of very fair droves declared to US that
sales ud not equal &C. upon so ID to the c.t of live
weight a. home. Whist the price of the mesnest sort
in market must be to correspond with the above may
be guessed at particularly about shutdown of this dul,
rsry day. when state that not over hsf the stock
was o3 before roon including all the sales OF Tuesday
Ii is barely possible that trade should brighten up to-
ward night but at clock appeared to expect
IT, unless some Of the graziers who were present on the
lockout for bargains concluded 10 buy al asking prices,
which is hardly probable, since nearly every one seems
afraid to invest money 10 cattle on falling market.
Tie Truth is this market is overlooked notwith-
standing the number offered is 10: materially greater
than it was year ego. But there is not as great
demand for meat. The population IS probably no
larger and many of the unemployed have been ucaole
TO procure anything but the cheapest food and that
at present is not Beef Fish are wonderfully abundant
and cheap. Porges that will average l. ID are sold
for 81 a hundred. Shad have been very plenty AID

very good though not any better, perhaps not as
good as last week The worst cat lie here fox owners
and butchers are the unIipe Kentucky DuIhams. AT
home they look sleek and fat but they bear travel
badly and look gsunt here and sre by no means in
eood favor with butchers. II is almost IS foolish to
ser two or three yesrod green Steers OF the Durham
breed here il would be TO pull up corn In the roast

Steer unless mstured, is not as good as our common
stock, where his beauty is unapprecisted. -,
