The market this week is fully soc per 100 lbs
higher, and there are not cattle enough to sup
ply the demand
This improvement gives good satisfaction to
the droverS whose faces are perceptbly shorter
than they were last week.
The sales opened Monday with great ac
| tvity. large demand having sprung up for the
neiehboring towns and the troops in the various
camps and forts in the vicinity. and the different
droves We're taken sn rapidly that at night there
were not more than $50 he I'd remaining for the
sales of Tuesdty. whch these were sold before
noon, and the demand was still unsatsfed.
The weather this week has been favorable. and
everyt thing has conspired to advance the interests
of the drovers, and to make up for some of the
losses which they have suffered during a few
weeks past.
The butchers have not been pleased with the
advance in prices. but they have had low markets
so long than they not find much fault if the
drovers get an advantage this week.
