TuE HA17rS S7rEr.-The following account
Of This large steer we take from the New York
Tribune:
srcr made in America, unless the ' Derks coun.
ty steer" killed ut II, lade'plia ubout two years
ago, was heavier alive. Tie dressed weight Of
that one sas given 1t ESQ Tbs. The Haxtun
Steer was raised by E. Haxtun. iu Deektnan
township, Columbia county, n II. He Is out
Of COW bought from drove that came from
near Cievelund, Ohio. whicll wns probably three
fourths Durhum, and full bred short-horn
bull. Of Mr. Sheaf's {Dutcless CO.. importation.
The steer is called 1916 Durham, part Of the
blood appearing to indicate descent from the
lous s-horn Of the old Kentucky importation.
His color is nearly all red, having some wh't,sh
rom spots, and he is now, Notwithstanding his
great Size and fitness, one Of the landsotncst
formed buIlocks ne have ever seen, and rs firm
an his legs, almoBt us he ever was ind rs in
appearapce asfrcel and healthy as erer, taking
its rations regularly: His feed is II quarts
day Of meal, made Of two parts Indian corn and
one part oats, aud as much hay US be will eat.
Uia feeding commenced in the FAll after he Wits
four Years old, aud lc was seyen years old last
snrinr. lIis weight ut home, Dec. !. iTas 8, AZ.
lie was probably weighed full at that time; but
after u railroad passage Of l5o miles, he eva was
weighed here, january before n - Tas M;s nG1 9s1
| honest ho weight as elren By Dayid Allerton,
| weichcd hi.n, was 3,452 lbs. 1t is generally
conceded that he will dress Gs lbs to the CIVIL.
t which will gire e,S47 pounds as the weight Of
beef in the quarter. At 70 lbs = cwt-"hicA
some good judges suppos he will make-ths
| weight will be o,4l6, and that wond he The
| heaviest weight ever made. We arc inclined
to think he will dress 20 lbs, as he is one Of the
very best formed animals for heayy weight,
and his skin is remarkably light, handling as
soft as fine young animal. Lie was sold On
! Tuesday to WiLiam La.or, butcher, Center
Market, for $3.50; that is. the steer, and seven
sheen. valued u: S14, were sold together for
! 495o. The fatteuing Of this steer has hee, one
| Of tile most perfectly successful experiments to
| produce monstrous animal, so evenly formed
and {austlessly shaped, tl,st no one could sny
where he could be improved.
New YoaK Drr7En MAnkE1.-We extract the
following from the y. T. Tribune Of the 18th -
During the last five days the weather has been
warm throughout. The receipts Of Batter CON
tiuue large the demand is very light, and tl':
qunntity 10 the country is understood to be qu tc
large. Taken all in al, the Butter trade is just
now quite "sick." Strong hopes haye been en-
tertained By those disposed 70 look upon TIE
spring up this mouth, and activity prerall with
out any further reduction Of rates.
| Every day il now diminishing the strength OF
these expectations, and increasing the serious
| ness Of those already on the anxious scat.
We do not essentially change our hgnrss'
Sales are made at all the rates named, and the
tip-top extra fancy quality commanding tile
highest rates, are firmer than my other grades
