Bulls HEAD-The number Of cattle yardsd yestes-
day at The great Cattle Market in Forty fourth So eet,
will not differ much from 800 head and fair proper
ton of the stock il Of very good quality. TIE namber
of all sorts is ample for the demand at slight redue-
ton from The rates current Of last week the highest
prices tis week being l0centsa pound net for rstca's,
with trihe higher for very few of extra quality,
while good, fat oxen sold at cents and good, fair
steers for the retail market, plenty al cent?.
TIE drovers generally and some of the cattle brokers,
think that the market this week, if the second day
proves ike the first viii wind up about the worst OF
this Winter Although the prices may appear the
same by The pound they cay that buyers estimate the
weights so that the net results will be good deal
wore for owners than they were last week. That the
market is hard one for drovers, we have no doubt
We also believe that buyers obtain their supply OF
st-rae cattle much easier than last week at certainly
no higher prices while buyers OF medium grades can
get what they want at lower rates, and those of In
erior grades get them at almost their own Offers
