THE OPENING DAY OF THE MARKET.
7aesddy. May 1.-THE market opened this morning
with about $50 head Of buocls In the sale pens Of
very good general average quality nine tenths OF which
will sell at rates equivalent to SaDSHc. for the net
weight Of beef sinking oa. few Of the very choicest
bulocks will sell at &c. pound for the estimated weight
Of the beef butt as general thing the butcher will get
pounds than he pays for These rates do not vary
enough from last week to make note OF. The cattle
brokers generally consider them good though some
think prices about equal to &c. pound for the
drover than they this day week, and butchers call
them higher The trade, though not active II Is
some days, has progressed steadily and large portion
OF the stock will be sold to-day. As we do not hear OF
any more to arrive to morrow, probable that all will
be sold at the rates current to-day The weather "a
vorabe, particularly in comparison with the very
storm OF yesterday and last night and he supply,
though considerably larger than last week will prove
too great for the demand, at the same rates.
CLosR MARKET.
Wednesday, May Son looking over the yards this |
morning 1t Is found that very large proportion OF the
stock I'D out the first day-much larger than any
anticipated. The business had progressed very
quietly that lots reserved for to-day had been called
and sold before 1t was generally known the demand had
been so good. The consequence was that the latest
saes OF the lowest grades Of CATTLE yesterday were
best, and that there Is falling of this morning; all
the stock will be sold out at full good rates were
anticipated yesterday morning, and larger number will
be found to have realized the top price Of C. pound
net than sold at that last week. and the average
SIC. has been fully maintained. We have never seen |
the pens filled with even quality Of stock, all
rating good fair, and great many Of them far above
what is generally termed medium quality. DTovers
generally satisfied with the prices this week. aud firm
in the opinion that prices are to continue better in the
future.
The death Of a wslknown and much respected drover
occurred here this week. John Bryant Of Pickaway |
county, o., died May ., Of small poxa disease ever
present among the foreign population of this city,
though not often proving fatal.
WORKING OXEN. |
There are no workers in market this week and there
fore the several nqurers for them cannot be satisfied
Is yet great deal Of powing to be done.
COWS AND CALVES.
We don't know when the market for mileh Cows has
been lively than IL this week. The rise In beef
has made market for all the fat Cows in the swi feed
ers stables and they filling up with fresh cows
and there is also smart demand from families in the
suburbs Of the city where the grass is large enough for
pasture. We noticed full blood Durham Cow In the
market at Fortyourh street held at $780, without find
ing purchaser.
Veal Calves are in much better demand this week than
rpak ms and aId nj
from half cent to whole cent pound better prices,
according to quality. The price Is from DC. to SIC. per
b live weight and pretty much all good, fair looking
smooth Calves in market on Tuesday sold quite readily
at 595hc. some extra good at &c.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
Receipts this week, 6,Ol5.
We have decided Improvement this week to report
in the market for Sheep, but not for Lambs. We think
we saw Sheep selling on Tuesday in Sixth street at
nearly cent pound more than the fame quality sold
at that day week. This was partly owing to much
smaller supply that day. and partly TO better demand
for mutton Of the Wholesale butchers. First quality,
staed fat Sheep that weighed In Ohio about l3O lbs.
each clipped, were worth 5hc. per lb, live weights
and very good smooth Sheep, Clipped Of so to 100 lbs
each. Sc. per b lot, rather thin, which averaged
63 lbs., sold at &c.
The price per head is equal to 7Soc. for the es
timated net weight Of the meat, Of unclpped sheep,
few Of which continue to arrive from Iowa and Illinois
Some OF the best fed Sheep in market this week came
from Champagne county, Ohio, owned and fed by Mr.
Ware ahd his sons, who feed 2OO0 to 5000 annually and
feed them we'll, and we hope prohtably.
Pelts are quite dull, whether clipped or uncpped.
Some OF the largest buyers appear be holding up.
We advise sheep to be sent with the wool on
particularly the coarse wool sort. If we had drove on
the way, we would stop and clip them. 1t would proba
bly, give the owner half dollar head more money on
the sale Of wool and sheep.
