Bulls HEAD.-The dullest market ofthe yea 1888
opened on Wednesday in Forty fourthstreetr not
withstanding the number of cattle was considerably
lees than it was last week The number yarded
on Wednesday we think, will not vary much from
900 head and considerable portion Of them Of a
nuch lighter grade than we have lately had in market
TO any considerable extent. The supply of frsclass
stock was certainly not too large yet the brokers
found the greatest difficulty in persuadng buyers to
nay prices equivalent to lc net H. for the choice,
such as have sold within few weeks at l2Ic.
But the falling off was not as great upon the best
cattle as upon the worst; some OF which were re-
ported as selling at 7a7lc. y Ii. This estimate is
pretty low, but we sure that good many colid
have been bought at Sd9c but found no bidders
For good fair-kiing Steers for retail butchers they
were not generally willing to pay over lOc. net y 10.
The number sold yesterday was less in proportion
to the number yarded, than it has been upon any
Tuesday since the market opened on that day.
1t will be seen by our report from the Albany Cat
tie Market that the arrivals there this week were
unusually large, and that wholesale prices ruled low
But that is not all the of depression here.
Buyers compare receipts there, and at Bergen, with
the number reported for sae here, and at die
cover that from 800 to 1900 must have been held
back somewhere, and at once ore assured that they
need not buy large supply. There will be, at any
rate enough in market to-day to prevent any advance
of price over yesterday.

AMERICAN INsTTUTE-NExr FAIR.-Ihe EXecu
tive Committee Of the American Institute nave Sc
cured the Palace Garden corner OF SIKH avenue
and Fourteenth street for their next Fair and in due
time workmen will be engaged in putting up steam
power shafting &c, for operating machinery
We earnestly hope the next Fair will be equally sue
cessul as the last was disastrous And we also hope
that the managers will adopt rule that shall compel
exhibitors to be little more punctual in making
entries and that under circumstances shall the Fair
he opened. az il sometimes has been, with beggarly
show Of empty boxes.
Asit is TO the advantage of exhibitors to show
their wares or new inventions to the world they can
afford TO bring them in before the opening day; and
is greatly to the advantage of the public not to have
the doors opened until all is ready
With the necessity of success to stimulate the man.
ayers we have not doubt that the next Fair will be
one of the best if not the best held in the city
For the credit of American inventors and manuiac-
turers, we certainly hope it may be.
Tgr POLICE AMONG THE DELINQUENT HAcKNEN.
For some time Capt. Leonard OF the Chy hal
Police has been urging those hsckmen who neglected
To take ont license, to up to the Mayors once
and do so, but many of them-nearly hundred in
hax apiao al IN ohavE ia
wear, when Capt Leonard took charge of that bust
ness, he managed after great deal Of trouble and
many arrests to make such denquens settle up with
the city, The present difficulties in relation to
the license of this year.
1t is asserted by the police that many of the hack
men, who desire to do night business, do not care
for the cunt of license, much as TO be free OF
the rules and restrictions attached to each license.
For instance they must badges their hats with
their numbers on them and also have their numbers
painted on the glass covering the lamps of their
es. Such coachmen want to do dark business are
Of course very 10th to take ont licenses. Il is said
to be common thing for hackmen of this class to
relieve drunken customers of their watches or loose
change in their unconscious state; make outrageous
overcharges, aud take many other advantages that
they would not dare attempt if they regularly wore
their badge and exhibited their number
Jhuef these circumstances, INC Wy Ai0I N''NN "N
more active than ever in bringing up the delnqaents
Many have recently been arrested and brought before
the Mayor, who generally lets them of without hning
provided they promptly take Gu, the necessary license
and pay for it. On tuesday night. several OF these
gentry Of the whip arrested while on the lookout
for passengers, and locked up for the night IN station
Houses and yesterday many more were brought up
so that in few days, they will all have been brought
to an understanding.
