The CITY INSPECTOR NoMISATIos-THE COMMIT
TEE MEETING A FAILURE.-It was announced by AID.
Boolc last week. that Tuesday noon the Special Com
ittee of Five on the nominate OF DR.. Foster by the
Mayor for the office of City Inspector, would meet,
and hear what was to be said on the subject. Aid.
Boole and Adams were present at the appointed time
Yesterday but as was expected, other members OF
the Committee were present. A few spectators were
in attendance. AID Adams and BOoe talked the mat
ter over. Mr.. Adams had portion of the City To-
spec or report made before Committee of the SEN
ate, read to show from the mortality statistics, how
necessary il was to have doctor fill the Office. Three
letters were read, two of them favorable to the May
or nominee and one against. AID. Bcole was opposed
to Dr. Foster and would not vote for him because he
WAS not good Democrat He had been told that DR..
Foster was not party man, and that was equal to
being Republican. There was one Republican in the
Office now and it would be useless, in his opinion to
put him out and sppont another of the same stripe in
his place.
Aid. Adams also agreed that DR.. Foster would not
do for the petition, but he was opposed to The act on
Of msjoIity of the Committee in failing TO meet the
question They should report on the nomination, aud
reject il 80 that another might be sent in.
AID Booe ssid his choice of City Inspector would
be Aaron B. Rollins, druggist in the Eleventh Ward;
but if the Mayor could not consult the Board in the
matter, and give them a straight Democrat he pre-
fened retaining the present City Inspector. Both
Aldermen agreed that the Mayor should consult the
Aldermen in the matter, and after adjournment they
called on the Mayor to inform him of their vews and
the failure TO set the Committee together.
BuLL'sHEAp.-The opening day fths Cattle market
in Forty fourth street was a Acknowledgements
Winter day. In that respect it was eli that could be
desired for tho great business that weekly transacted
there In ell other respects, yesterday was not what
droyers anticipated or at least fondy hoped for for 1t
was day of extreme duress Of sales and puces asked
were from half to ole cent pound net less than the
week before while prices offered were still lower; and
All the cattle brokers insisted that butchers were un-
wiling to estimate the weight of cattle within hall
hundred at least of their actual weight. The conse-
ouence WAS that but few Gales were effected, and
general foreboiing of bad prospects for to-day pre-
vailed at shutdown. We heard of but very few sales al
anything over lQc. per pound net and saw some very
fair stock for retail market beef sold st only &c. Some
of the poorest cattle were reported sold t oc, and
there were vast number Of coarse steers and oxen
only in fair working order held at &c., without buyers
Including 10 head of stale cattle, there were 2'o
head yarded yesterday, and there were twenty car
loads Inore TO come in this morning; So as Will be
seen there cause fer the fall of p,ices-the supply
is too great for the demand particularly in the medium
ard lowest grades of quality.
