Tie market opened this week with the most gloomy
prospects for droyers that they have Tuesday
for long while. Trade was as dull, and prices of all
medium and ordinary grades of stock low, upon
any very dull "Wednesday afternoon in some of the past
weeks There was ii generally believed, about
3OC0 head Of cattle in the yards, and some SOC held
back At Albany 10 stay the telegraph should
Indicate after the brokers had tried the temper of the
butchers.
Itwas also believed that all the stock by the Erie
road bad not crossed the river and it known that
the Harlem road had furnished another large supply;
so down went the prices and down came the rain in
torrents, all through the middle Of the day; eonse.
queniy very few sales were made, even at reduced
rates that is upon all grades but the best which stood
at ten cents net pound and the supply of that class
of cattle was much less than it the previous week,
butchers bad to up the brokers demands much
more upon that than upon the lower grades. Indeed,
some Of the holders of these grades declare the price
cent pound lower than il a week ago Ii so,
some who had cattle left last week must suffer
severely.
1t must he understood that quotations per pound
cannot give the real condition Of the market, because
the variations may rot appear 70 be halt cent, when
the actual difference account OF quality and estia-
ton of weight, may be more than equal TO a cent
mound. Such was the case on tuesday. Win some
owners there was disposition to hold till to-day,
which the brokers generally discouraged Win
herz there Was almost panic of fear that all their
cattle would not cell and 80 they were often sold at
great bargains 10 the butcher This was particularly
the case with some of the small holders OF country
cattle of which there was a large number
With these exceptions, we think that good country
Cattle as well as frstclass Western Steers ruled at
lcc and we think the same class will continue TO do
So particularly if the supply OF such should be no
larger than il is for this market. But the prce OF COM
mon stock is down, and we cannot any cause for
it to come up against the heavy stream OF cheap poul
try, cheap pork, and cheaper mutton, now running
We hope every one win notice, under the head of
sales of cattle, some OF the most extraordinarily line
bulioeks that have been brought in this week for
" Christmas beef" Considering the quality, these
cattle have sold remarkably ow-eertainy too low TO
pay for sncb bieh feeding. There is mistake about
H. that such cattle st II he. pound for the meat
are cheaper bsn good deal Of the stock that has sold
this week at &c.
1HE CLOSE OF THK HAREET.

such strong contrast 10 tuesday, has the effect 10 give
