,es are IN market this weef:

The market opened on Tuesday with every hing IN
favor of the drovers. The weather was cool-almost
cool enough on Monday night to make frost not uneK-
pected few miles out Of the city. Ouly 22Oo head
of cattle were in market that was no hard mat
ter TO put the price hal cent higher and put on from
25 to 80 pounds in the esnetion OF weight than
the same cattle would have passed at last week. And
at This advance the brokers held the cattle through
Tuesday ard many of the sales OF the best stock In
particular, at rates equal to fully cent pound
better for the owner than the sales of this day week.
II is true that the butchers held of that the mar
ket could not be called lively one; bu, all the sales
that were made both Of good and poor stock, were at
an advance Of more than half cert beside increased
estimate Of weight.
The quail ty of stock in market this week is very
varsble. There but few really well fed lots,
though there some very handsome and thrifty
looking steers and sgood many ofust fair quality for
the retail butchers and there are whole droves that
it is actusy wicked TO KILT is wasting crop as
much as it would be to cut wheat field in blossom;
for the thrifty steers are just in condition to put on
profit by grazing or grain-eediog. There are also
SOM lots tha make wonder nov it is possible for
farmers who possessed of sense enough 10 dstn-
eush their intellect from that of the horned kues do
continue to raise such unprotaoe crops of cattle after
having seen the successful operation OF improving the
breed with better blood.
VIII farmers please 10 notice in our notes OF sales
that there is difference Of five cents pound in the
quality OF cattle, to say nothing of the much greater
weight Of those that sell the highest
The market which closed on Tuesday ev snng ike
a drawn battle between the brokers and butchers,
opened afr. sh this morning with increase of about
25G head of stock but that had effect upon the
ket and prices continued TO the close as good for the
they were on Tuesday, SO that have felt
justified in advar ciDg quotations all round cent
pound. Although the sales slow, all of the first
class cate sold at ii ii &c. pound net, and few
still higher.
The weather continued cool for the season, which we
have hesitation in saying advantage TO the
dIovers equal to half cent pound.
The supply. although short of last season, would
have been sufficient for the city, without Advancing
prices materially, if had not been for the Increased
demand from the surrounding country. We noticed
butchers in the yards to-day from Long Island and
other places. who have not been here before snce last
Fall. This demand is occ c.sioned by the Sumner
bosrders' ani will probably continue all Sumner, to
such extent that depletion Of population in the
city viii rot diminish the demand for Beef, since this
market has funish the city and suburbs thirty
forty miles in diameter, beside the grea; amount that
goes 10 sea TO t the form Of ship stores" IL
l. this outside demand that often increase of
prices, was especially the case this week, the
Fourth of Juy having apparently created partial
fannie in the country, for this week only" We be-
lieve that there til about 900 head of Western
Cattle a. grass within reach Of the market. These
viii probably all be absorbed next week.
. The market cleared Of cattle to-day a. an early
Sur. We do not think that there were hundred
head in all the pens at O'Clock, and drovers left the
market feeling much hspper than they DID last week.
Several farmers who came IN TO bny cheap cattle went
away Impressed with the idea that they were just
week behind time. Wait patiently, gentlemen; next
week may change the tune.
