A beautiful clear day was Tuesday, JAN "a, and not
much like Winter one. Ia fact, judging from the
way everybody looked hard or swore harder, at the
muddy Yards, oDe might have supposed it was about
The last of Ma,ch instead of January With the exceP
ton of the discomfort of getting about among the cattle
in the extremely dirty yards, the day was fine one
for business and the market opened and held through
the day more ike business than We have seen for
long time In fact compared with last week, we may
set this market down as brisk The general quality oil
the stock yarded not quite as good as 1t was last
week but, on the whole, quite fair.
There were some entire dr0ves of fine bullocks Tor
the retail market and few marked extra. As the
number in the yards at the opening of the market was
more than 500 head ess than last week, it gave
the cattle brokers confidence put price equiva
lent TO half cent net pound more than they opened
with last Tuesday and we have rarely seen butchers
accede to an advance with better grace. They took
off the choice stock quite rapidly at Oc. net pound,
and other grades did not drag they bave lately; aud
considerably larger proportion of the stock was sold
than ia usna the first day. and al at prices much more
satisfactory 10 dJovers than any of the markets this
month IL IL the first spring in the market they have
lately met with. A good many OF those VINO were
badly bitten last week with country cattle, regretted
they bad not supply this week, and some OIL them VIII
start and then-then We shall see.
We guess we shall see full supply OF Cattle, ana
more smiling butchers. than we zee this week. Our
advice 10 droves, and particularly to buyers nerea-
bouts upon speculation, 10 10 Keep cool. ono spring
day won't bring Sumner.

OUR TWO DAYS MARKET.
The practice of holding the market open two days,
which net with much oppostion at inst, our own III
clud.d has now become almost universally popular,
and works much better than was anticipated La faci,
IL has become almost ecessty since the business has
grown so large that it is difficult 10 accomplish all 10
one day without ciowdlDg BY the present arrange
mep,s a good many butchers who are busy with Gus
,om,rs in the morning are able TO come up ut their
tenure OF Tuesday afternoon, when they are sure TO
6nd IA GOOD AN assortment Of cattle, and If not salts
fed with rces asked they rec how the land lies, and
90 home 10 return and finish their purchases early on
"Wednesday morning. The drovers, too, begin to ind
thar their brokers not IN so great hurry 10 effect
saIss as tbev were when the business was all done
unon on day, and they are better satisfied.
There ia one more advantage in the two days market
N the whole country IL enables Us TO get up betor
reports: and az we tpend all the business hours of both
DAYS in the narkeplace, which no reporter for any
other paper dses we are able 10 put the TRIBUNE
And we are ell aware that our abors are properly
appreciated and therefore We are well satisfied and
duly thankful.
