We dca'. know as 20 can express the condition Of
The beef cattle market in any favorable language
than the following answer to the question we pat to
broker as TO how he found the market this week. He
ead Ii is 10 worse as it never vos-it is tam pad"
Another said: "Tbe dog is dead this time, and ms-
take" We repeat, entirely dead and, in our opinion,
past the hope of resuscation. For the last Sax weeks
there has been one continued effort the part of the
cattle brokers, to keep up the price Of catts they be-
ing continually urged to it by the drovsrs who assert
ed bs, they had bought their cattle high and that any
serious decline in the market would ruin them. All
kept looking to Christmas and Nsw-Year markets. FOR
an improved state OF things.
Well, New-Year has come and gone, and here in the
frat market of 1860 we have just about the hardest
time that drovers have seen for year. The market is
completely overlooked and dull in the extreme, and
prices compared with the cost of stock at the West
ruinously low. There is just course Left for
drovers; they must buy at lower rates, or quit the
Of an Illinois drove, bought by most careful buyer,
with full expectations based upon prices of similar cat
tie here three weeks ago, of making p head The
result to-day Ia loss of 81 each. If any man can
hope that he can do any better in future, he must be
ssharp-sghted fellow. In opinion, every one who
has been operating upon the faith Of rse about New
Year. OF a month later will not only find that the
dog is dead /" but that he smells bad.
The market opened on Tuesday with only some 2, 200
v in tha rda nd an
effort TO advance the price above last week. but it was
q signal failure. The butchers soon found out that
there was heavy train of stock detained by the cold
al Albany that would undoubtedly be down in time for
he second day. and 80 they held of, and all the sales
were forced, and of course to the disadvantage OF
owners as they thought but quite 10 their advantage
as IL proved in the end The weather on Tuesday was
clear and cold bright Winter day. and good for BUSH
ness, but still there was not much done.
THE CLOSE OF THE MARKET.
To-day the weather changed to more mild state,
and thick snow storm at noon; and the market
changed from condition of moderate trade yesterday
10 a state of the most extreme dullness to-day. The
arrivals eight nine hundred fresh cattle knocked down
price, fully hall cant pound Even where the price wss
