BULLS HEAD--Ner- York Cattle Market, Tuesday,
June i8It does not appear likely thai we shan nave
to make any change in the figures OF our taoie oi
quotations from those used last week, when we MAKE
nm Tomorrow the report of the market for the week.
Nearly all the stock will be sold OF prices equi 'aent 70
asl cent? net IA pound ranging from u to cents,
being generally fair average quality OF good lat
steers. 1t is quite difficult to say how many builoeHs
are ON sale to-day, but think about S~Vo. Since
our last report we find that there have Oeen eI,cfeu
upon the yard books sc droves ranging from 10 neao
to 426 head, making total Of $3.50 head. vi 'hese,
it is said that about 800 head come here on oturuay
for wbolesae butchers and to go East ana soge e
also sold on Saturday, aud on MONDAY ABOUT 2'o No
retaiied, pnc pally of the lgbtest grade, ana sses
say at SO a head more than the ceiling price OF tne
same grade to-day. Several Of the brokers' AID nearly
all the drOyers are satisfied that the sales OF Monday
have injured the market to-day equsl to that sum per
head and of they very much olssa lsntu'
In fact there appears TO be no way Of se'lsng tne
feeling Of dissatisfaction bat agreement between all
the principal brokers anddroyers 10 ignore ibis Monday
trade and fix the business Of the market as 1t has been
for some months--that is opening on tuesday ana
closing on Wednesday.
OF the business to-day, we may say that wneh the
market opened this morning there was such show OF
short supply that ost of the brokers tined 70 estao
lsh an advance and think tie hrst sales were az
prices better for the drover than last week put as 'e
eray thought that the market was not as goou as u
was last Tuesday, and we thought there was very
little confidence that tomorrow womb DC dc goYu q"
last Wednesday. Sales were, therefore, ptth.d q. a
slight decline The weather is quite favoracie, 3eing
drv. and for the time Of year cool; but the large
wholesale butchers do not seem Inclined 10 ouy a1
largely usual and report the trade IN beei very uu
at low prices. . NH, :, q
matte of wonder to every one and i, is equally Won
derfu that 20 large portion Of it is OF quaty 'na'
will make first-rate retail market beef.
As tie day draws TO close we fDd the brokers nave
little more confidence in holding cattle over for s'le
tomorrow, hoping it will prove, rs IT dd last Weeh
three or four dollars head better than the average VI
the opening day. ,,..
The sheep and lamb market, and the hog market,
will be again reported very hard for drovers.

the German Dspensary Of the City Of New-York,
established at No. 1872 New Canal street. The Report
shows that in the course Of the year 6,7S sick have
been treated in the institution which 10 several humid

amounted to lO,l9S which were prepared by the
| Apothecaries Messrs. A. Dung & Co. and Mr.. Edm.
| Weber at such low prices that the average cost OF
each prescription'i is only .o5c. The report of the
Treasurer shows that the expenses of the institution
including medicine, printing, &C.. have been only
81 62l 49, averaging consequently for each sick person
treated only "a cents and il must DO remembered thst
many sick persons came several times and had more
than one receipt prescribed for them. The collections
80 far, however, did not come up to this small
amount and were only 536 SO, leaving balance Of

new collection indspensably necessary during this
year.
