Monday. Mr.. Sedwell late of The Yonkers Exam-
'Her has been appointed Deputy Collector in the place
OF Mr. Samuel s. Bovine, but will not commence bis

time VIII elapse before any changes are effected. Tho
Collector was yesterday served with protest from Ger.

they cannot be compelled to pay duties until the reve-

Bulls HEAD.-Ner- York Cattle Market Tuesday,
april 9.-The Beef Cattle market in Fory-fourh
street opened this morning with little $500 head
Of bullocks sale, the most of which were Of good
fair quality for the retail market butchers and enough
of them extra quality to supply all the frst-cass
butchers that they could readily obtain their supply
without any advance the rates current this day
week. In fact our observatons tended to convince us
that butchers got their best stock upon better terms
to-day than last TUESDAY and that a very small portion
of them paid prices per head equivalent TO cents
pound for the actual weight of beef though that
the top price for the estimated weight. There was
much larger number Of rst-cass bulocks sold at II
cents than at g. and great many good fair steers for
retail butchers sold at cents For such grades as sold
below that we think the market better than il at
the opening last week. The general appearance of the
market indicates a dull state of trade to-day, and
by no means so largo q number of bullocks were
sold in the forenoon as on last Tuesday forenoon.
In fact the early morning business which is generally
pretty lively was quite dull and the anxiety Of the
brokers to effect sales very evident while the
butchers took their time and appeared determined to
buy at their own prices The weather was dry, clear,
and cold, for April-cod enough for stout overcoats
and Accomplishments This was altogether in favor Of
drovers, yet trade was slow and unless the buyers
push in as they sometimes do rst dark, there must
be larger proportion Of the stock than usual left over
FOR the closing day; and SO prices will recede Tho
range of prices now compared with the corresponding
week hast year. is about cent pound less while the
number of cattle for several weeks has been about ten
per cent higher and the prospect is that this excess
will continue and that the sale Of beef, to be eaten
fresh the city and suburbs is less than last year,
owing larger snppy of better and cheaper vege-
table food and that the fact that the laborng class is
lo fully employed The present state Of the Market
and the future prospect may be calculated from these
acts 20 that feeders and drovers may guess. whether
here is any hope of any material advance above the
PRESENT rates.
