CITY ITEMS.

Bulls HEAD.-With over three thousand beef
cattle in the Fort y-fourthsreet yards the first day of
the market it is not to be wondered at that the
brokers were willing to cOncede little to buyers,
and while asking the price per pound that they
did last week to actually give in weight and quality
much better bargsns-in many Instances equal to -
head upon such cattle sell for $50 to 500 head.
Although goou many cattle sold on Tuesday,
the proportion sold huch less than 1t was last
Tuesday; aud the number sold at prices equivalent
to - cents pound net is certainly smaller while the
number sold II cents this week will be quite
small The great of the stock this week IL very
coarse and owners complained of prices being equal
to reduction Of a cent pound net upon sales the
first day, and pretty bad prospect for the second
day. This estimate is little too strong, but we
think that unless Wednesday makes much better
show than Tuesday the reduction upon all the coarser
qualities of stock will be half cent net pound; and
PERHAPS the average Of the whole market will prove
that much lower this week than last. Several droves
in market this week have been freighted from Chi
cago at 50 head. These low freghts are among the
causes of SO many very brutes being pere Tor
sale to beef-eaters.
