New-York daily tribune., 1859-06-02

There are hut very few cattle coming in now in small
lots This shows that the stock in first hands near
the city is pretty thoroughly used mp.
The Cattle Market opened on Tuesday, not only
with an increased supply the previous week, but
with the very best average lot of cattle that ever
saw in this market not only of good quality, but OF
extraordinary great average weight. The prepon-
derance of remarkably good stock, that the scaawag
buyers were more puzzled to find a supply than the
buyers Of the best kind.
OF the number reported arriving in the city this
week we find 24j went direct to butchers-2iS were
sold here on SuDday-si were taken Eastward by
Major Smith 80 were sent to grass by Mr. Allerton
and 30 bought by Teed & Wheelerto feed 30 that
we found the number sale to butchers on Tuesday
only 2556 head-not a sufficiently large supply We
should think to affect the market equal to reduction
of full half cent in the quotations, and in some cases
n very considerable advantage to buyers in the est-
mate Of weights.
The weather, too, was altogether favorable to the
drovers il being comfortably cool all day, aud near
night cold enough to make overcoats not unoom'orta-
bic. The butchers, too, cane forward in fair num-
bers, but still the market would not hold up to the
rates of the previous week. and fair share of the
cattle yarded were sold at a general reduction, as
agreed upon all hands among buyers and sellers, Of
half a cent below the saies of last week
This morning the market opened with hopes on the
part of droyers and their brokers that would b. bet
ter than yesterday and perhaps some of the morning
sales were so; but before found those hopes
fading away, and there a much larger proportion
of stock on hand for ,e in the afternoon than upon
this day week and found those who sold out the
first day generally fell though they had done better
than to hold on.
The weather to-day mas been cloudy, with little
rain-considerabe fell in the highland warm that
the grass is growing flster than farmers can it,
with their present stock which they do not feel in
cred 10 increase al the high rates that have prevailed
through May.
If the same kind Of prices do not preve through
June, We shall be very much disappointed; and so We
shal be 10 any very low markets for good cattle
until there is great crop of Western corn grown and
time given for cattle to fsten upon it. II is the opin
ion OF some well-nfornsed men that prices will average
high for cattle through the year 1883 a. they have
any year of late noted for high prices. That will be
the unless people eat fruit and less beef. IL
il than probable that the market is affected this
week by the increasing supply Of strawberries -,
Particulars of some very extraordinary droves Will
be found in notices of sales drove averaging
sl35 head equal to the price of irsrate drove Of
work horses.
II will be observed that the stock of New-York
State distileryed bulocks Is not yet exhausted, and
that the supply continues Of excellent quality.
The great number this week of extraordinary fine
Kentucky Durhams is also worthy OF notice. The
Boeton buyers who have heretofore taken such large
numbers Of the choicest Kentucky cattle. have not
been able to compete with the high prices of this
market.
