TuEsDAY, Feb 20 AT last we are able to report one
cattle market that gives almost universal satisfaction 10
the droves 1t Is 80 much better than they have be
OF late accustomed to, and much better than was
generally expected that the droyers gene rally Jolly
II 10 altogether the best market they have met with
In many weeks, yet not very high one, the prices
ranging from 10 cents net pound for the bulk of
cattle " cents for the very good ones aud 10 cents
Tor extras with amuch more liberal disposition on tho
part Of buyers In estimating weights that the market
fairly half cent net pound better for sellers than Il
was this day week. With fair prospect Of the prices
holding out to the close, as the number sale to-day
only about GOO head and cannot learn that any con
siderable additions will be made to- morrow certainly not
enough to maze UP 600 heat and as the sales at Ber
gen and the down town stables during the week have not
been large, the weekly supply will prove 50 light that 1t
VIII give the butchers an opportunity TO work OF all the
stock hand and be rsedy to absorb about 1000 head
from prices current to-day. Should the supply next
week prove no larger than dy, we anticipate
advance equal to that OF this market compared with
The quality Of stock TO day Is only ayerage fair there
not as large proportion Of scass buocks as there
was ast week. but many as will sell at the advance as
butchers are generally content to rk the chances well
knowing that full supply will bring the price down
again as low as II has been In any OF the 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 bisk until the
hrstclass butchers had made their purchases then II
Stacked od and continued only moderate through the
day. and will close probably at dusk with oply half the
stock sold, as owners holding pretty tiff for the ad
vance, and the Wholesale butchers 10 trust
70 their chances omorrow rather than pay the prices
on the part OF the owners and their brokers.
THE CLOSE OF HRM,RKrT.
Wednesday, Feb. 27.-The market opened This
morning with about 100 head OF buocks added 10 the
stock hand yesterday but that had no material eject
on the prices, which the same as Yesterday The
trade, however In the forenoon, was very slow, the
brokers holding hard for the rates OF and In
some little higher and butchers on eous
~ hard TO force reduction But the small number of
buocks on sale to day warrants holding them for the
SE q nss un.., ThIa Il y r
uers from Albany, which arrived this morning These
would have sold readily Tuesday at &c, o n net
put 40 not nnd ready buyers at that to-day There ney
er was more beautiful weather In February than Is IN
Day and, but for ths fact that every body Anticipates
fuller supply Of cattle next week. the advance would
nave oesn much GREATER. the weather being % ne thu
IL empp good many TO come out and their attendance
upon the market gives it lively appearance. even n
they do not buy largely We notcs more country buy
S. man and TIL, shows that the supply from
giVea tine better demand for Western stock.
COWS AND CALVES.
Ine marketf Tor fresh Mich Cows remains 10 condi.
aon very nnsesaetory to the Gov merchants, some
wnom nave bad their goods hand over week without
any better prospect o. sales than when they rst arrived
The average price Of good fairookng Milh Cows with
Veal oalr,s are not much advanced in price, but the
market is much more lively, and good ones are selling
quicker at 7c b, live weight than they did last week
sna probably IN consequence OF the advance upon NUT
week ago.

ported cents pound on the scales. We noted prI
Ses ranging from slOs to el75a pair. The demand for
Oxen IS 80 large In all the country around New

tnue such as to encourage all who have Oxen to sell 10
bring them In during the month. After that the demand
Will not beso good.

That prices are governed by the supply s pretty we'll
proved his week. for they have gone up equal cent
fatality attending sheep droyers 30 that they are lust
like the animals they deal In. They always come In
droyes. Some days the marketplaces are all fu, and
ohers all empty. On Tuesday we fonnd BrowninR's
pens entirely empty, except half dozen heavy sheep,
part OF lot Of from Wayne County, r, fed By
Alfred Hale, which were sold s Albany at 10 y h live
weight, averaging about Sl3. II 10 reported that the

oady Tompkips County N. r., were bought by g. Will
ams, at 90 gross and sold here at an Syeragso a.,

In both Of the above cases. the sheep were too fat
when heavy Sheep do not sell as we'll in pro-
