CLOSE OF THE MARKET.
"WEDNESDAY. Dec. l9.-For the first time since sotae
Of the present OF drovers have been coming to this
Market we have closing day better than the opening
With the exception Of few fresh lots, there very
few cattle for SALE but what here to-day will realize
on average, for the middng grades Of stock S3a4a
head more than thoy would yesterday. And the last
yesterday Of all the common sort Of stock were
ow the butchers were all engrossed the great show
of prize bullocks-the greatest in this market
until afternoon, and then they wentt work with w
and bought cattle in two hours than we ever saw
change hands In so short time before. Although we
make very little change 10 the figures OF our table Of
quotations. except for prize buocKs the market the
whole better and for Christ week must be account
ed very fair, considering the great supply have had
on the market for several WEEKS and the pressure Of
immense supply Of pork and cheap poultry. And 1t Is
worthy Of note, indication Of the future that tbs
business closes better this week than It has for hres
months and II We are not again overwhelmed with mum
bers, there Is fair chance for advance OF price.
We have, have all along anticipated, choice
bullocks sell before Christmas at prices equivalent to
10 cents pound for the meat and In instsnce,
the gross weight correctly stated II cents per
haps over twelve cents. And we have never seen 50
many buocss together that would be counted prize ami
mails In fat cattle show, stood In the yards yesterday
morning We believe there were over three hundred
head that would dress from 900 to 800 Of beef each,
and the greatest portion OF them very superior quAy
which they owed to mixture Of Durham blood.
THE sHEEp MARKET
Receipts Of the week, o 50a.
We have the satisfaction of reporting very decided
improvement In the sheep market this week, compar
ed with our Last report We think the average advance
Is fully equal to lc y D net. and II counted upon the
sales OF Monday, which was an unusually lively market
day, the average advance would be still higher for
notice lots OF sheep that sold that day at 80 750e4e
head which would net have sold week previous for
more than 50 80 25. On Thursday the trade was not
quite so lively; buyers, however, contended that the
brokers were asking prices fully equal to the day prev
ous. We do wonder at the little du llness In the
trsde for reports from Washington Market gave the
rent raes Of mutton carcasses AZ about lc less than
the day previous. u.
Very fair wholesale lots OF mutton could be had at 4c
and lots counted hSt quality So and those called extra
at &c. NIX.
It may be understood that q considerable portion of
the sales Of lots at 81 rs each indeed It Is probable
that contracts could be made to-day for all the pes 10
