The Cattle market opened this week upon one of our
hIehtest cold Winter days, very encouraging to the
prospects to the drovers and the first sales were gen.
orally in their favor as compared with last weeks
rates for first class Cattle Of which there unn-
sually large supply.
All day Tuesday, the market was what we eau
lively one both buyer and seller being satisfied, the
fixed price being at the rate Of lOc. T. ID for all first
class Cattle which butchers were willing to pay, the
only difference being upon the estimation of weight
few extra fine cattle commanded little over 10
Cent? but there not many sold at lO cents, aud
there were but few selling under cents that strik
ing an average upon Tuesday sales, it would be some
thing like half cent higher than week ago, owing,
however, entirely to the improvement of the quality
The number of cattle, il was thought on Tuesday
morning, would not be as large IS last week, and
higher prices were talked of, and, in instances
obtained. 1t was soon found that, in addition to the
stock by the Erie and Centr Roads the Harlem Road
had brought down about 80 country cattle; and
considerable number of the same sort were on boats
on the Hudson, beside larger number than usual from
Philadelphia; 30 that before night we had over 3,OOO
head in the wards, with reports Of 300 or 400 TO be
added 10 the number to-day. This induced good
many of the cattle brokers to hurry sales toward night,
at bat easier rates TO the butchers than they
could obtain in the morning.
There was very large number Of cattle for this
country many of which were very good fair quality
of red and steers made fat upon grass, and mod
eratey fed snce upon grain and the best OF such FOLD
pretty freely ut y lOc net per pound but il must
not be understood that any but really good beeyes
broupht those figures Ordinary oxen, stays, steers,
cows &c. sold at only 9c., and many still lower.
We hear OF "A great MANY cattle in the country held
back for lie. at home the owners trusting that the
time IL not distant when their cattle viii command
that Uness the quality - very superior, or buyers
very greedy, have faith that such antieipatons
will be realized.
