The market opened this week on Tuesday with
only 1900 head of cattle in the yards, and with no
lair prospect Of over 100 head more arriving this
morning, and consequently the brokers felt confident
that rates must advance aud held their stock firmly
at the prices that ruled two weeks ago. and very high
e. Inmates of weight at that-n some cases pretty
fair average of half hundred y head through the
drove more than the known live weight at home
would Justify This made good many If the cattle
ncmiuaIly sold at PC net pound really l2lc In
many cases that price was boldly demanded and
butchers had it to pay, or perhaps go further aud
fare worse. OF course this advance checked the
sales the first day, and not few butchers went off
trusting to chances to-day. The chances proved no
favorable than they yesterday, AMI proba-
bly, no w,rse The sales were rather slow, but when
accomplished generally at II cents for the best
,t,ck and certainly that for very large propDrtiOn
Of the sales while the average hesd quite uDpre
cedented this season. We don't know when We have
seen the drUvers and cattle spt cuators look joler
than they have through this market Although the
cattle went off rather slowly in the fore part Of the
day, the yards at noon began to spk empty, and
good many of the brokers had nothing to do after
dinner, and the whole stock sold before night
We don't think we have ever seen better average
quality Of Bulocks in this market than We found this
week; in fact, think it would be very difficult to
find 1000 head together anywhere in this coun-
Try of weight fatnesS and general good quality
True, there come lean ones, and some Of nat
ura rough form and coarse quality, but the good ones
were in very large majority, aud goodly share
of them extra, enough so To se at over slO0 y

The weight Of the cattle this week will average so
much higher than it has for several weeks past, that

ACABoosE CAsE.-lt is reported that the droyers
from Suspension Bridge this week feeling outraged at
being Obliged to ride in filthy emigrant car, alive
with vemn showed their spite at such treatment by
tearing out the inside Of it, and scattering the contents
along the road. Some of those who were in the car
declare that they would have preferred 10 ride IL
hog car and all say that passage in the same car
with the cattle would have been far preferable. If
railroad managers wish who are quiet, peaceable
and respectable at home 10 continue while travelling,
they must give them accommodations ths. do not out.
