Bulls HEAD-Neac- York Cattle Market, Tuesday,
Aug. There are in market to-day some 3,4OO head
of bullocks and the average, of about the worst
quality that we have had this Summer; for the mean
est sorts about the lowest prices obtained At
the same time, there is advance upon last weeks

have sold to weigh at 81 cents, and have doubt

TO scarcity of that Glass; and the necessity Of butch
ers having few TO kill for their customers and not
from any deficiency in the total supply, for that, al
though some 700 head less than il was last week, is
ample for the demand. In fact, the market for all
grades but the best opened dull this morning, and con-
tinued 30 all day, with large stock left unsod at
night for the supply of tomorrow. few persons
held on to their stock in the forenoon under the i'm
preston that business would improve toward night.
If il did we failed to zee IT, and we shall be surprised

Wholesale butchers express their determination not to

and altogether against the interest of drovers and the
profpects Of tomorrow not hatsrng.
