OPENING DAY OF THE MARKET.
Tuesday, Apr1 30, 1e61.-We have to report an
other advance in the beef cattle market. II IL slight
to be sure, but an advance upon the price tbia dav
week, which was an advance on the previous week
The advance to-day Is not occasoned by any lack in Tho
supply, which Is 900 head larger than il was week
ago. but arises In all probability wholly from the cir
cumsances that Government agent, in the peraon ~
Hon. A. u. Dickinson, came into the market at an early
hour and took up over 100 head of choice steers to send
toWashngton This gave the brokers Confidence and
melted the butchers to buy little quicker and for
short time infused life into the trade 80 that oh
there was at no time any great show Of buyers the mum
Der Of bulocks sold before considerably larger
than usual the price, too, remarkably even Ranging
almost entirely from to SIC. net a pound-noibine
selling under &c., and but very few choice fat steers AZ
DC, upon the estimated net weight OF the meat sinking
oal, the estimates Of weight being very much bette1
than they were in some Of the lowest markets of tbs
Spring. ~
THE CLOSE OF THE MARKET
Wednesday, May Livery few bullocks are on s,,s
to-day not onefourth Of the whole number offered and
the price yesterday is fully maintained Some NJ The
brokers say Is more than maintained and buyers
orally declare that the asking price at The openinc The
market this morning, Is half cent higher than n Was
yesterday. We think the number to be sold being so
small the price is fully maintained and estimates of
weight little better for drovers than yesterday
trade Is not very lively yet all the buocks were Sod
out before night and not few speculator let bv The
evening train to intercept drovers in transitu 50 we
shall either have another rise next week or b0 loss NJ

THE SHEEP MARKET.
Receipts this week, 6,O54.
There marked improvement 10 the sheep market as
compared with the report OF last week. IL is not 40
much In advance Of prices as it is in the ability of sheep
sell their stock at any price, The advance is
about % cents head, and the trade decidedly more
Lively than II was particularly last Tuesday oAt Brown
ings this week on Tuesday which considered the best
day in the week. We found trade much more lively than
twasa week before the price Of good fair Sheep clipped
which had been well fed and would weigh 60 to loo
about 4c. b, live weight Good lambs worth st99c
ID, and range 81 5O9S5 head. Some Of the buyers
who are willing to pay the farmers fair price are
very anxious to have the lambs quoted low as hep say
the dam'd newspapers ruin the trade" We suppose
they don't mean to say that ruin the farmers 6o on
behalf OF those honest gentlemen beg the farmers not
to believe word we say about the price OF lambsthat
is, they prefer to believe the amb-buyers. Pretty
much all the sheep now arriving clipped. The pes
OF such are worth and of them are SO bad
ly clipped that quite yield of wool is obtained

Grant, Superintendent Of the market, as follows

Distillery Hogs y b, gross. .4a4Kc.
The market is decidedly dull. Yesterday there were
scarcely any inquiries for hogs the few buyers offering
were not willing to pay last weeks rates. and the day
closed with considerable stock on hand and we And
this morning about 1900 in the pens. and the opinion
prevails that they cannot be sold at over Sc pound
The weather is favorable, or the prospects of hog owners
would be still more gloomy.
