CITY ITEMS.

At last we have had real live snow-stofn. Al
day yesterday the sky kept sfing down the fssshsry
fakes covering the city with mantle of wilderness;
that IT, where the SALT the omniousss and the street
cars were not. In the frequened thoroughfares

Bulls HrAp-Tbe beef cattle market has proved
quite contrary the expectations of all the droyers
who anticipated rise Of price about Few-Year. By
reference to our regular weekly report win be seen

lower than at any Of the markets which drsvers have
lately designated as ruinoua There was prospect

dark, although ordinary to inferior quality Of bssf
was selling a. low at Sc. S7e v n. In fact some
very fair cattle for the retail market did not net ovee
2 cents. All hope of a rise is now abandoned.
