THE OPENING DAY or 1nE MARrrr.

10 less than the average aud 7O head less than this
week.
THE oPEsNo DAY or The MARKrT.
" Iuesday. Nay 25.-The market opened this morniI
with about 600 head OF bulocks In the sale-pens
the price, with that plumber only sale for the week
supply would have ad vanced cent pound. Unfo
tunatey for the drovers II generally known that
train with some 400 head was behind time on the Hud
son River Railroad, this had the eject, az the sam
thing always has to produce dull state Of trade,
prevent brokers from commanding the market, as the
are able to do when all the cattle 10 the yards whe
the market opens The trade rather slow throug
the forenoon, and smaller proportion Of the stool
sold than usual Of late In the first part Of the openin
day Of the Market but at an advance Of the rates in
little decline Of last week upon the previous was Just
about restored this week, and frst-cass buocks
tle more than that buy ers sure that some o
their purchases viii be over &c. net pound though that
10 the top ing p'ce; but In estimate OF weight the
sellers had been able to do hetter this week than last
and that makes difference frequently the droVer OF
" or 81 head. The entire sales to-day ale at rates
equivalent by estmaton s@9c.a pound for the meat
| sinking onal.
About noon the cattle Of the DELAYED train arrived at
he SAFE pens and gave little sr OF life to the market
price, but butchers found that the bulk Of them were
diteIy-fed, and as the retail butchers generally prefer
cSrnied stock the fresh arrival did not Oure the value
mat 49, they did not sell for as much as they would II
they had come with the Others TO have shown the
butchers at once all that intended for sale to-day
or tomorrow. ..4
The preponderance Of Illinois stock still maintained
while Kentucky does not furnish bullock, notwh-
standing the fast that large number OF fat bullocks
nogs and sheep were known TO be In that State. before II
became so very decidedly neutral that the people
not willing to send stock, as they formerly did, to this
market. Some Of the droyers OF that State known
70 be rank Secesslons The best fat bullocks In market
this week are from Iowa, somewhat State In the
feeding line, but that bids fair to win Isurels.
Noticing how much less the supply this week is than
the previous one 1t Is not singular that the price ad
vanced' The wonder 10 that 1t did not advance more.
With the same number next week, would be go
up at least half cent notwithstanding the remarkable
low price OF pork, mutton and veal.
COWS AND CALVES.
The range of prices generally for Cows with young
tra brought $40 so. H"'
Veal Calves never sold worse than they do this week.
We believe that some have sold at SC. pound live |
heard Of great many at &c.. and very good ones at
4c full good sold last year at &C., At present rates
the trade s very slow, and prospects Of selling all at
Fortyiourth street very dull. 20.
THE sHEEP MARKET.
There still further decline this week n prices Of
both Sheep and Lambs. The very best Sheep are not
worth more than DC. per pound live weight; that is
drove Of rather hne wool Ohio sheep, well atted aver
drove estn ated TO weigh 100 or ITO , very fat and
smooth sold at 81 IS on Monday but IL was thought
would not have brought that Tuesday as the Market
was very much gluted and good mutton selling in Wash
Ington Market at &C. h. by the single carcass.
We found on Tuesday, at Brownipgs over 500 head
Of Sheep and Lambs and prospect that over 600 Of
them could be sold that day.
Some nice smooth Lambs we're offered at 80 50. with,
out bidders; not large to be sure but very cheap We
have seen Sheep said to have cost 4Kc. N In West
'n New ik that could not be sold at 4c here; and
good fair stock for grazing could be bought for 393Hc
b; say sheep that weigh 7O9so b each, at &C..
