| Bulls HxAD,-Ner- York Cattle Market Tuesday,
| March 26.-sThis is one Of the market days which
| drovers will remember. Hsn apt TO remember
days which have some strongly marked characteristic
Tdis one has for drovers. Itis day which they will
call 10 mind as the one in which they suffered such
severe Losses in the New-York Cattle market 1t is
cone of, not the very hardest opening days of the
whole yesr. Not 30 much for tie low rate at which
bulocks arc siiog but that they wont sell at all 1t
is not that thsrs such over-suppy, since we can
count only about 500 head, but because AZ tbe buyers
and sellers into market this morning under The
impression that there ms DO between 600 aud 5000
h.ad of bulocks on ssic to-day, and 80 prices were
based upon that estimate ri the start and ranged nearly
= cent pound, net lower than last Tuesday scarcely
anything except tow chcee steers selling as high
cents pound for the net wsigbt Of beef sinking csl
and prices generally ranging fom to cents the
tremes being Gaze. We doE't know when we have
ever seen fewer cattle on e forsnoon of Tuesday then
todays and taking quality and price, and estimated
weights into account, We thshk th,y .2s not sold at
lower rates during the past Winter and Autumn. The
min cause Of this rests in tie fact that NewYOrk
nation of Jews and whenever the res Of that order Of
people keep them away from the market the demand
for beef cattle is very much lsssened This is the case
to dav. Their. are no Jews here. 1t il Jews holiday
and their absence makes the day look Ike Christian
Sabbath, and II they do not in tomorrow, 1t Will
be extremely dicu to soil out tH the baocks LII the
pens, though the number does 10. appear unusually
large The average weight, however, is heavy, and
the quality generally very good. There are good
many wel-fed Western oxen, fat and heavy and good
fat steers which the best butchers are disposed to buy
at not over Gle. net pound and there sre plenty OF
steers Of good fur quality that held at not over
&c., and but few droves will average that to-day. What
tomorrow will bring forth remains to be seen. We
already see that there will be unusually large pro-
portion of the stock left for the secOndday sales
aud we think that brokers' since the number In the
sale pens has been ascertained 10 be 40 much beow
expectations are holding the cattle with more conf
dence that the second day will be no worse than the
first. 1t will be by our cattle report from Albany
tha, the number Of bullocks there very large but
we see but little over half OF them here. The remainder
went TO Boston, Providence, and down East generally,
and several hundreds 70 the farms of grazers con-
siderable number Of work also went 10 the coun-
try We do not hear Of any lots likely TO come into
market tomorrow next week, of those not here,
which are reported upon the railroads. The weather
to-day is not favorable for drovers, it being quite
warm, threatening raiu, and the great body Of snow
fast melting Ia fat, 1t nearly all gone in the
city. Very few Of the cattle owned this week by
specuatoIs They smell the rat, and left the West
ern drovers 10 stand the brunt Of the hardest market
OF the seasoR."
