BUNS HEAD.-It will he seen from the report Of
the BeefCattle market that prices did not fall of the
second day. as they usually have of late. In fact
Of the brokers and nearly nm the buyers appeared to
think prices the second day rather better for droves
than on the first and seemed to have any doubt
that all the stock would be sold at much better rates
than the closing day last week, notwithstanding the
number this week is 623 more than last, and of
greater average weight. Considering the full supply
every week of really fat Beeves, the price keeps up
better than any coudhave expected in these times
Still we able 10 pay the country weekly for 4,372
