ket in July and the first day for long time that
could report rise upon rising market There was
little spring upon prices last week, and there is de-
cided ole this week. The bul has tossed bis horns
Just about half a cent pound net, upon all grades,
more particularly upon he best ballocks II ough
noue arc selling at over 81 Cents net, pound, many
will net thar that would not bring over cents last
week and we do not fud that any grade sells to-day
below cents.
let ii be remembered by all who are interested
however, that the advance has all been effected by
Operators for o blythe cattle brokers who went
to Albany and other places to buy buocks OF the regu
lar drovers with tie object Of spripging the market
upon the butchers to make money than they
could by the regular commission of $2l head So
far as the sales of the first day go, particularly the
morning Sales the operators entirely successful
They put up the price, and held it pretty firmly, and
buyers had to come to terms, for the spec
ulators owned more than half the stock, and
Of course those selling on commission were
wiling en- ugh to follow. During the fore part
of the day the market has therefore lively ap'
pearance and larger proportion than usual of the
stock will be sold before n,ghtfal There were 3,l7
head yaIded within cell of the saepens. Cyl head
al reported sold at Bergen yesterday, and 3iS were
sold on sumo ay in this city, and driven through the

Sunday ssle in Mr.. Allertons yards but they allow
sales in tho yards owned by the Harlem Railroad
Company or the opposite side of the street. and they
do at the Hucson River Railroad yards, and at the
pens of slaughter houses and permit the bullocks
to be driven through the cts Sunday as freely as
upoJ any other day. 1t is high time that this Sunday
traffic and cattle driving were put stop to.
