NEW YORK CATTLE MARKET.

BULLS HEAD There is very considerable decrease
in the supply of cattle in market this weekthe number
reported Forty fourth street being only 23 head,
mostly of light cattle. This short supply tempted the
cattle brokers to make pretty strong effort advance
price about half cent pound net higher than it
in the very duh market of last week Buyers say the ad.
is equal to cent pound upon the tSst cattle in
yards and that cattle of the best quality usual
" sold remarkably In TACT It Is often
that is bare Of stock suited to the
what astdious of first class butchers and their
extravagant customers More cattle were sold upon the
first day of the market at than sold
last week ur to that figure in both days We saw some
small lots sold fill and half pound and heard
good many buyers declare that they paid ii cents This
in consequence of scarcity of the hest grades stock,
and not on account of any extra dsmand: Ordinary
coarse stock thin grass steers will not be likely TO
sell as high this the though the market
is higher than last week. while the medium quality such
shop butchers usually retail sold yesterday at about
oc net pound, and at this market not brlsk-the
wholesale butchers held of hard against any advance the
sales in Washington Market being reported very slow as
6@7c per pound for good fair sides.
Upon the whole it may be stated that there is slight
advance in the beefcate market that the general
age quality of the stock is very ordinary aud the proba-
byis that the market will close to the satishc-
tion of owners Of the poorest qualify of cattle.

The Beauties of Cous1stenoy,

Inc 4attltuJe which the Administration has
assumed toward naturalized ci'izens, denying
them the protection of our Government, and
then bnnglingly attempting to evade the con-
sequences of such position should convince
every man of its lack of honest sincerity
Some attempts have been made to reconcile
the conflicting principles of the three mani
festoes issued within six weeks from the De-
partment of State, but with no effect upon
the intelligent opinion of the country. Every
body knows that the first, TO LIE Clerc. repre-.

political purpose only.
