rnE CLOSE oE THE MARKET.

Business last evening took such a siari that neary nl
the stock was sold out, so mat tie lew on sale this morn
ING viii he disposed OF without my reduction oil yester-
days rates. and we rink OH better terms TO owners than
nj any tune before noon Tuesday, and certainly much
better than any Of the Monday sales. Indeed, the mar
kel closes very encouraging to droyers, Notwithstanding
we report ii lower than a week ago. A iuli supply next
week. however. may throw the bushes Is all aback. though
we do not anticipate any great change from G.tc. a
pound net for nil good fair steers, suitable Tor our best
retail butchers, with . cents occasionally for hose Of All
extra grade. THIS is the general opinion OF those most
familiar with the market, and VINO are well posted as to
tn. supply, that tie great wer is likely 70 send forward
was IL year ago, mud there Is not as great number Of
cattle ia The uistnlery stables oil ms state, ana as thhs
class has lost caste with our best butchers, II VIII not
| greatly affect the market. II is also supposed thai Gov
erminei will certainly want ms many buiiocks ior the
next three months us ior the past three, so that will tend
to keep up prices at their present rn'es, +.
