T'BesddV, Dec. 1--WE find less number of bull
locks but greater weight Of beef in market this week
than last. The number already reported is $685.
which is about $50 head less than the total at the
yards in Forty street by last report and the
number Of large bullocks is not only greater than
any week lately, but there is IA show of Christmas
beef that would grace any prize cattle show in the
world, particulars Of which will be gwen in our ac-
