Bulls HEAD.-There were 3, Isl head of bullocks
reported for sale at the great weekly cattle marke
for this week, which opened yesterday in Fortyfo nth
street at about the same rates that prevailed week
ago. that is, aloe. pound net for the best beef
and a &c. for the lowest grade. Some of the saes-
men, however, declared that butchers were unwilling
to pay as good prices they did ae Tuesday by half
q cent pound.
The weather was quite chilly, with little raio, and
that was supposed by to be the cause OF so lew
butchers being present in the early part OF the day.
and. therefore some of the and cate-brokers
were rather disposed to hold hard for the full rates OF
last week. The consequence was that very email
per centaee of the stock sold till late in the day.
and not large portion of it sold in all the day.
80 butchers will find full supply in the yaFds this
morning to meet all the wants of the city and its
thirty miles around" Of suburbs, which are supplied
with meat from this market.
The quality of the stock in market this week if not
quite az good yet there as many bulloeks suitable
for the frstcass retail butchers as they will be willing
to buy at the prices they held at yesterday There
will be small addition to the number reported from
fresh arrivals THE morning. and owners expect that the
lower grades will run low in price to- day. Our fuli
report tomorrow will tell the story
