The following Is the New York TrsbtaS.s report
Of Tnesday' 5 market:
:, At last VIC are able to- report one cattle market
that gives almost universal satisfaction to the
droVers. II il 20 much better than they hare been
OF Late accustomed to. and 80 much better than
Wa ceneralIy expeeted, that The droVera are gen.
orally jolly It Is altogether the best market they
have met With in many weeks, yet not very high
one. the prices ranging from to cents net = b
fcT the bul of the Cattle, w cents for very good
ones and 10c for eztras with more liberal dfspo-
sitton on the part Of buyers in estimating weights,
90 that the market ia fairly a half a cent pound
better for sellers than it was this day week with
fair prospect of the prices holding out the close
as the number On aaIe to-day is only about 2 ,0Go
head, and we cannot learn that any considerable
additions Will be made tomorrow, certainly not
enough to make up 3,000 head; and the sales at
Bergen and the down town stables during the week
have NOT been large. the weekly supply will prove
slight that It will give the butchers m opportu-
nifty to work Oft al The stock on hand, and to be
rcadT to 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 another
advance equal 10 that Of this market as compared
with laai week.
The quality OF the stock to-day il only average
tair there Is not large proportion Of h,stc1ase
bu1locks as there was last week, but as many as
will cell at the advance, butchers are generally
content to risk the chances. well knowing that i
full supply will bring the price down again rs low
us It has been in any Of the past weeks.
The weather to-day Is extremely favorable, be-
Ing Just coiloctably COOL and the yards for once,
quite free Of mud. The trade Of the morning was
quite brisk, until the irstclAss butchers had made
their purchases, then It e lacked of, and continued
only moderate throughout the day, and will close
probably at dusk with only half the stock sold as
uwnere are holding pretty stiff for the ADVANCE md
the wholesale butchers prefer1tug to trust thelr
CHANCES tomorrow, rather than pay the prices to-
day.
