We compelled to SAY that the Cattle Market
this week better for dfovers than il was last week
though good many Of them seem TO think not but
certainly On Tuesday there were good many more
cattle sold AZ ten cents pound tor the meat than
the week before and there was goodly number sold
at lOc., and some for lie. Il is true that the ad-
vance was confined almost exclusively to those OF the
best sorts, but the whole the average was better
In our opinion, this improvement was ow NJ almost
entirely to TIE weather which was very much in the
Growers favor. We never saw a finer day in August
for cattle market Monday night was cool enough
TO show frost in sundry places not far from the city,
and Tuesday though a bright, sunny day, was not
warm enough 10 make wooden coa.s uncomfortable.
The cattle were brought int the sse-pens early IN
tie forenoon and for couple of hours before dinner
tie mari presented pretty lively appearance, and
good share Of irstca:s cat lie wee sold. After din
uer. business appeared to drag, and good many
good butchers finding that toe brokers were holding
Their stock at rates nearly half cent higher than 1t
was last week, held off, determined TO take their
chance to-day.
Toward Tuesday night some of the brokers,
having ascertained that the supply was fully 500
head greater than was anticipated relaxed in their
demands, 20 that pretty nearly the usual proportion of
stock VAS sold on the first day. The poorest sorts,
however, went slowly, very few wholesale butchers
being present and no inquirpg for farm stock
and the market closed early, with more than half
the cattle left for sale the seconiday.
The night was again cool--deightful weather for
tie butcher to handle beef-apd this "Wednesday
morning opened as brightly as the day before. bnsl.
ness commenced early, and for a time wore lively
sppesrarce giving the drovers and the brokers, who
had not succeeded the first day as vel is they de-
sired hopes Of being able to sell out at the advance
asked. Some small lot. however. had been added
since the .uaIket opened, making tire number on sale
over 3 30 nead, which supply vas aoout 400 head
larger than was in these yards last week. Buyers,
having asc..tsined this fact, held OF, TO bring tie
salesmen TO their own terms. The fact Is that TIE
wholesale butchers in 10 condition 10 psy any al
vance. They have been losing money every week,
low as their stock has been, snd unless the
c,ol wssther brings improvement in the demand
for beef IN the quarters, the price of cHIe Of
class suited to that sale s almost certain to decline,
,ince there is no demand for packing beef.
TRANSPORT
We beg our friends in the prairie rsgiss Hxemsm-
Der that cattle, however sleek upon graS - wilt
Ike green corn upon the railroad. Farmer, must
feed them corn, and none but green drover will bay
green steers 10 transport thousand miles. II well
FED ore Winter, and then turned out to grass, they
will bear transportation. They ~i bear it much bet
ter if shipped straight om tie feeding lots, where
they have had full feed OF corn ali the time.
That is TIE sort Of feed that " sticks 70 the ribs.

CLOSE OF TIE MARKET.
The market has closed better than Vas anticipated
last Night OF this morning after asceaned thst
tie supply was so large. We have, therefore. al
vsuced our estimate Of the average half cen, shove
last week. This in part, is owing 70 sctuahy better
prices for the drover, and partly 20 the fact tns the
quality Of the stock IN mark q better on the average
than was lac, week. All the good cattle have oii
well ali through this market. Bunccks a. az ht II
Kill, have not sold below Sc, net, pound for the
meat and but few Of the sort wanted By good retail
butchers have been so.d below 9ic AID 50 on up TO
