/ via they call "a good time" Prices have been
decidedly depressed Nearly all the brokers we have
/ Consulted Civ. the decline from last weeks pr es at

mr Oh uore owing to the ind@poeit)a Of buyers 70
aox fair eetmates OF weight We can only say that
ve think it is que likely that ths il the case, since
The akdis decidedly overlooked and buyers inclined
t. hold of. The number Of cattle sold on Tde'dAy was

satisfy themselves hat rtion true ABOUT prices

large number Of working in the yards, cent here
TO be XII ed and YET good many of them are hardly
fit to keep. aud some ave usly poor-,oo poor for
working Nearly all If these work oxen crosied upon
the market now will have to be replaced out of the
stock of beef cattle x Spr &, aud often ct serious
loss to farmers. II opinion that not over one
third Of tie stock in the yards today is in 6t condition
for the shembes and one.third Of IT is absolutely unit
Besides the work oxen old stsgs, poor COWS and balls
Kicked up in this ate there ssaTge number of coarse
rough brutts from Car ala and Michigan, apparently
from reg ors where the spirit of improvement and
scieI ce OF feeding uDkro-p. Then there great
many thin Western steers, the owners OF which have
been tempted to sell them when only half fed by the
Wild offers Of dovers, who will ose money faster to-day
than they ever made il any previous day Tne loses
mutt be enormous and bsside that, do not how
all the cattle the yards be sold at any price. We

hand at the middle of The afternoon than We find un-
,oi to-day IL mast be ELECTED too that the market
overstock,d last week, and that E5 OF the stale
cattle are in the yards today.
OUTRAGE UPON DRovEgs.-Ws have several times
alluded to the fact that railroad managers appear TO
consider droyer,, as q class, lit 10 below the brsty
brntes they transport. A. any rate. they do not give
the owners Of the quadrupecs as deoe1t scoommoda-
'pns they do the brutes. They compel owLers, or
their 4ns, wio chsrge Of stock TO travel on
the same train, 20 az always TO bs OIL hand to look
after it. And yet what the sceonmod .tions
sffo,dedi Here il q specimen: On Sunday night
January l6, the following .nsmed persons were On a

they were all packed into a box called a caboose IL
