With Zoo cattle in market against 2, 593 last week,
il s not to be wondered al that We have to report
lower quotations. The only wonder is that the price
has been maintained within halt cent OF the pnce
oe IL week. True, this has been done in many
cases by eariug of the estimation Of weights par
ucularly TOW ard the close OF the market. Ia our
opinion the price Of medium stock of seven or eight
hundred weight was not as good az noon Wednesday,
as it Was st the hour Tuesday, by st least e.
head. The number of common cattle en 'Tisod at
dinner time larger than We have seen for some
weeks and they mostly Of the eoar~est quality,
of which the supply was more than abundant The
weather, two, had some effect On Tuesday it Sss
cool cloudy and little rainy just enough to make the
stock look fresh and during the first half OF the after
noon, the market quite lively dropping little
toward night when it was ascertained that over
5000 head had been yarded, and that were
pected The sales on Tuesday of frstelass stock at
I2o were pretty freely made, though nothing ike, in
extent to last Tuesday, in proportion TO the pumoern in
market Wednesday commenced with increase in
the supply, and apparent falling off in the demand
Tie weather having turned quite warm, the whos-
and the market was soon declared by all the brokers
to be very dull. Those whe sold out the first day,
congratulated themselves on having hit il this
time" while those who did rot take the tide on its
food, were obliged TO labor harder ard be content
with less money.
II will be noticed that Illinois and Iowa furnish
nearly half the stock this week. This is owing TO the
gre reduction in freights. Several of the droves
came through from Chicago and joliet at - head
by both the Fort Wayne route, via Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia, and the Michigan Central, via Buffalo
and Albany. This low fsre il likely to produce an
unfortunate effect in this that is the of pushing
forward great many working Oxen and lean young

Cattle.
The supply Of New.York State dstllery cattle also
continues large almost the entire number reported
as from this State of this class The best Of these
have generally sold through this market at l2c.
net q II, at which do not think owners should
complain, although their ticpated profits not ss
good they would have been Western irelghs had
kept up.
As things look at present. that Iic. y ID to be
reached ID May will mol be in May, 1879, for with -
oyersiock Of the market this week, and the pretty
fair prospect of full supply next week, butchers viii
be full that they stand short supply one week
without bidding very bigh Is j. fact, too, that
net be disputed, that the consumption Of beef falling

tables universally forward and potatoes cheap,

years at this 4eason. So thai while beet IS 60 high
