Feb 26At last able to report one cattle, usri
that gives almost universal satisfaction to the droyeu
1t 10 70 much better than they have been of late accus
TONED to- and much better than generally CT,
Peceo That the drovers are generally jolly Il Is alto.
se'ner TIE beS. market they have met with In many
YET not very high one the prices ranging fpuu
cents net pound for the bulk of the cattle 81
or very good ones, and 10 cents for extras with
much more liberal disposition on the part of buverx in
estimating weights, 90 that the market "a fairly halEa
cent net pound better for sellers than vas hi. da,,
week with fair prospect of the prices holding ON, ~
the close, as the number on sale to-day Is ony sbone
2ooo head and we cannot learn that any copsd.rb,.
aod'ons VIII DC made Tomorrow, certainly not enough
to make mp 1908 head and the sales at Bergen and
the downtown stables during the week have not been
large the weekly supply will prove light that It win
give tie butchers an opportunity to work off all tho
stock on hand and be ready absorb about 1000 head
next Tuesday and Wednesday, without any falling Of
from prices current to-day. Should the supply next
week prove no larger than to-day, we anticipate an
other advance equal to that of this market as compared
| with last week
The quality of the stock 10 day is only average fair.
there is not as large proportion Of 6t-cass buocks
as there was last week. but many "a viii cell al tho
advance as butchers generally content TO risk tho
chances, well knowing that full supply will bring the
price down again low il has been in any of thSs
past weeks.
The weather to-day is extremely favorable, being:
just comfortably COOL and the yards for once, quite
free of mud The trade of the morning was quite
brisk until the rstclass butchers had made their pur-
cbases thea il Stacked off, and continued only moderate
through the day, and will close probably at dusk with
only half the stock sold owners are holding pretty
stiff fer the advance and the Wholesale butchers pre-
ferrng trust to their chances tomorrow rather than
pay the prices to-day.
The market closes with decided good feeling on thsB
part Of owners and their brokers.

a full house. Mr.. Otto Hoym and Mrs Becker drann.
in the little roles, which they sustained with ma,AeS
ability. Mr. Hoym is an actor Of merit, Win piea<
;rg voice and GOOD stage presence. His conception
ond rendition of Romeo was fully equal and in many
no;nts snperior to the majority Of the English repre-

aIo a finished and credtable performance. The Mer-'
cn,;o of Mr. Meauber and Friar Lawrence OF Mr..
