Bulls HEAD NEw-YoRK Cattle MARSET, Tucs-
dr. May U.-AlthOugh the variation is very slight,
we think the market shade better for drovers than it
was this day week; and if trade continues throughout
both days equal 10 this the average Of the market
will be quoted lc. pound higher, that s sc. net,
against lc last week There not over J, $40 head
of bulocks sale to-day, independent Of those taken
on Government contract and perhaps not that. We
find 23 head have been sent Off and the number will
probably be made up to 300, and thus leave not
5000 for the sales TO city butchers to-day ard tomor-
row. These will all sell at prices equivalent to sd9e
pound for the net weight of beef sinking ofia, and
much the largest portion at Sic., the quality being
generally very even, and all good. The quality never
averaged better than has for several weeks and the
average weight never ranged so high.
There were not as many bulocks sold before noon
last Tuesday, but very large portion Of the whole
number sold before business closed at night brokers
are confident Of being able sell out all that LEFT
over, at full prices tomorrow.
The weather was rainy in tie morning. bat nearly
clear before noon, and quite warm, and as general
thing the market wore such a lively appearance as
always indicates state of trade favorable TO droyers,
and they are much encouraged about the future.
