SO 600, on the Fashion Course, i. l., tomorrow
They are matched TO go twenty miles in harness.
and, as both mares are known TO be trotters Of en-
traordinary endurance and speed, an exciting con-

Bulls HEAD. - Ne1o. York cattle Afaykef. -
! TResdav, Oct. S.-With a greater number of beef
cattle in the sale pens than have ever before been
yarded in one week at Alleron's, and the market
opening in severe northwest Storm il is not much
TO be wondered at that it is bad one for drovers-
the hardest of the season for very large number of
them, and for very good reason, for they have
completely oyerstocked the market with the meanes
lot of stock that has been seen here in year. There
have been about 5000 head yarded, and over 1900
of them are on sale to-day. Yet do not believe
500 could be picked out that would pass muster as
first class including choice medium, such as tel ut
rates equivalent to 8 cents pound for the net
! weight Of the beef, seller sinking oiisl. And
the number of extra good quality, such as
sold last week at cents, and at q cents this week,
is very small and this we consider the very top
price though some buyers insist that they paid q
9c y 10; but if they did, we know that the choice
of the market was offered at &c. y ID, TO Kill and
weigh. There are great many good fair retail
market steers selling at 7d7! cents These prices
are iust about half cent below the rates Of the
same grade last week; but, upon the most inferior
sorts the decline is still greater, and owners are III
panic 10 sell out at almost any price offered. This
Of course dTags down the price OF the better sorts
n and will make a low average on the whole market
this week.
There is another cause for the present depression
beside the unprecedented and unexpected great sup
DIV. The weather Of the last week has been more
ike August than October, and has operated very
hard upon the Wholesale men in Washington MAJ
ket This class of large buyers do not take hold to-
day with good viii, and consequently large
stock viii be left FOR tO-morrow-toO large,
fear TO find buyers at any rates that will be
willing to submit TO. One of the cautes Of the over
supply to-day is that all the stock on the Ere Road
7 was detained by the great flood, which did
: immense damage to the road. This dam
age has been repaired by efforts that seem
almost supeIhumaD. Then we have about 300
head of rejected army-contract bullOlkg and
if those from which these selected not very
much better we hope somebody beside rebels viii be
caught by our soldiers and logged s0undly or hung
Then we have great rush from Missouri, and also
Of this State st0Ck-he poorest, apparently, Of all
the cuttings, and in numbers sufficient TO break down
any market. That this Is not broken down is
wonderful, and gives the strongest proof Of it's
stability az the rates ut which good bullocks have
: sold during all September.
B There is now Just one thing that may break down
the price Of good bullocks below the present rates,
and that is rush from Kentucky of the Ist-cass
- stock Of that State, which is now anticipated.
: As the day draws to close here, the weather
: clears and turns COOL and trade is lively.
Brokers do not look to the close of the market
morrow with such gloomy forebodingB as they did
this morning. There is no occasion yet for despair
If cattle are plenty and prices low, butchers are
} sound and money plenty. Let us hope Oh.

knowledge Of the under,gnsd that the sick prisoners
