Bulls HgAp.-Ken. York Cattle Market, July
3l.-The market is again overstecked, and bulocks
are selling at lower rates than last week. There were
over 100 head of bulocks reported at Forty fourta
street this morning, either in the sale pens or within
REACH to be brought in to-day or tomorrow az the de
mand would warrant. For the opening day Of the
market this lie decidedly the hadest Of the season for
drovers, particularly for the owners of the lower
grades Of stock some Of which will sell low as Blk
cents net pound. The top price is cents though
few of the very beet buocks will cell at 9Ic but 1t is
said at very light estimate of weight. The depression,
however, ia more upon inferior grader than the best.
because the supply Of good buocks lie less in proper
ton TO the whole number than it has beeU for some
months. The supply Of such bulocks as are wanted
by good city retail butchers, say good fair cwt.
steers is very plenty, and can be bought at Cents
net pound. And should the same degree Of duilnes5
continue through both days of the market that pre-
walls to-day. We do not zee how all the cattle can be
sold at any price that will accept though they
should be willing to take half cent pound lower
than week ago. If the condition of things that
prevails here to-day should continue through tenor
row, expect weekly report of the state Of the
market will have a very bad look for drovers ana
Western owners of a bullocks and still worss forthe
half fat ones such as are in large majority here to-
day
WUkes's Spirit says that the trot between Flora
Temple and Patcben tomorrow is nc. genuine race,
and that people should be careful how they venture
money upon it,
LAURA KEEsE's THEArER-THE AMERICAS COUSIN.

success Mr.. Tom TAI lor's comedy Of the American
Cousin waf, when first produced here, the greatest
theatrical success, with perhaps single exception,
ever known in America. Ii spite ofvery many ncon.
ssienoes and exaggeratoIs the play was Is, and will
continue TO be great success. With cur critical eyes
wide open to its demerts canno deny tast IL must
have ntInc merit for what pleases the mass Of intel
heence must have good in it, aud those sefsuhcent
wrers who dismiss this pay With ths brosd assertion
that i, is all tiash surely paying very poor com
pliment to the taste AID intelligence Of the $50 600
people whom in this city ALONE it has interested aud
delighted.

The principal change is the peronstion Of Florence
Trerchard by Mrr. Wood the Part having been org-
nay acted by Miss Laura Keene. The embodiment
Of the comedy fine ladies Of the drama Is by no
the forte Of Mrs. Wood, but when she is so upap-
proachably excellent II her peculiar burIesque
acting, we can readily excuse any shortcomings
when, by force of circumstances, she undertakes
q part out of her legitimate line. 1t Is always
3 thankls,s, and not unfrequently hazardous,
task, to act part which has been specially win
some favorite artist. In this instance, however,
