TIE CLOSE OF THE AARK1T.
Wednesday,, aug. 21.-owing to the perfect
counterpart Of Bull Run panic, which Induced
every one to begufe lot 10 come out hindaost,
was thought pessihle could be done, 80 that there
is rather smaller stock than usual on hand for
the closing dayt, and prices do not decline. One
SsS of 4 s r. aR
right good fat steers will sell to-day without any
decline, at least, and all the stock will be sold
possible 1t noon yesterday, when tbere appeared
10 be almost total cessation Of trade; and upon
the alarm that prevailed that all the cattle would
per per lead, according to ,Reir weight, than 1t any
previous time. though paying noualla1iy tbs same
rates per pound. So our quotations, which show
nearly IS they did last week. do not give the real
decline, which sppears more IN the fact that bull
locks hare been sold in the market this week at
7Hc per b net, which would hare brought SC last
week quite as easily, and Of the lower grades,
| eome OF which hare sold almost equal to prices
uenally prevalent abont the time Snow flies. Ii
| the same oversnpply continues this year to be
| crowded On the market, up to the beginning Of
winter, the prospect Of selling lean stock for any
| more than tie hide Is worth at home, dsducttng
cost Of transportation and Other expenses, Is a
| lean one. SteetB that tie owners think Would
| make s cwt Of beef esch, have sold this week at
| $26a head. Wahave Io doubt that some pretty
decent sues have sold At less than &c net, pound
| We have noticed several lots at $50 each, which
would net over S 5cwt average.
| Probably every ereculator that went out afte.
the close Of last market to buy cattle iu trsnsitu
| has 1est money, and some Of the western oTlera
| who refneed the :Iow offcrs Of buyers have lost
| still heaViet. We know one case Of al Iowa drove
| Of 80 head which the owner had An offer at Al
$50, out Of which, deductng commission and e1
penees viii make difference OF &6a head be
tween net receipts aad the offer; and 1t Is eai6
that the owner vas offered in Chtcapo as much a.
the drove brought here, losing all the expense o
transportation.
not safe to calculate npon over &c, 1et pound
as the top Of the market dufins autumn. Certain
II rot while Illinois can furnish from 600 to 100
| head Of fat hul1ocks week. which At present |
appears able to continue to do indefinitely.
Although the msl in azu at the " est requir
come fat cattle. that does not make up fer tn
number that have heretofore been required 70
trade down the Mississippi, and this viii leave
