BEEF CATTLE.
The market for Beef Cattle this week has been
rather remarkable one. To drorers 1t has been
particularly hard.'' They went into the country
last week with determination to buy at some
figure or other-haring consciousness that this
week would rule higher than last. On Tuesday
the New York market wss tclegraphcd--reporting
q buoyaut market and material advance. This
served to stimulate them, and they "went in
strong. The result is, an increase IN the receipts
Of abont / 600 head, and when dzoyers cane in or
Thureday and Friday they found that the closing
state Of the New York market was not reported by
telegraph, and that prices bad closed 1c per b
lower-with the prospect that they would decline
further next week The resalt Of this state Of
affairs WIS q very dull and dropping market.
and We have to note decline in pr1ces
on the week Of fully &c per pound. The
closing dispatches from New York, received
privately, made shippers act cautiously st the
opening; and when the mails brought the full re-
ports on Thursday evening, they positively re-
fueed to look st etock. unless at decline Of 40

prices could he obtained, shippers paying only

a,T2a head, Of which 10 were at Sherman's yards,
1,44o at Michigan Southern yards and $50 st pltts-
t burEh yards. The sales today were Hight, and
principally on account Of government contractors
! who were buying q little more freely than last
week Holders were quite unwilling to accept the
rul1ng prices. which shippers we're offering, and
preferred taking their stock to New York The
market closed dull and dropping With decline Of
