Bulls HEAD, Monday, I've have to re-
port the best market Of the year 1852 for the
opening sales this morning, some Of which were
at ten cents pound net, and good many at
u cents, and some whole droves at 3 cents upon
owners estimate Of weight. ao The average oil
the market last week was estimated It u cents
q pound. If II holds out to the close as it
opens, it will average but cents this week.
upon estimated net weights, sellers sinking offal;
and IS the trade has been lively all day, the es.
Inmates OF weig bit arc more liberal than in q dull
market. The advance 10 pars.y ewing to the
fact that the supply is small, only about $500
head, and partly to the state Of the weather,
which is dry, clear and cold--the Thermometer
this morning at Is deg. above zero--and partly
owing to the knowledge that brokers had that
Government agents we're in the yards purchasing
early this morning. If it had been generally
known how many 1bullockst were wanted, the
price Of eli on sale suitable 6orishippipg would
have advanced cent : pound upon the net
weight. The business, however, Vas % careful
ly managed that nobody suspected that over 80
head were wanted, until after over 200 head wers
taken and all OF them ofthe class selling SIC
&c. y fb, and this made that class 90 scarce that
good many that would not otherwise have bro't
90 much BY about half . cent -, fb.,- Toward
night some Of the salefaen were q little more
favorable to customers, upon hearing that there
we're some twenty Icsr loads at Albany; detained
Yesterday by ice ct the ferry which would pro
badly arrive for sale on Tuesday. There was al.
so an arrival during the day from the Erie
road, which tended to check any further, I'D,
vance. The truth IL, that with oil the great
number of bullocks on sale week after week
there is not sufficient supply Of first class bull
locks, and % our first class butchers will d have
them, no matter what the price, they have grad
ually advanced to 10 cents. q pound for the
meat less the value of the offal, and We shall be
surprised if they do not hold at that. OF the
poorest class, though altogether too plenty
there will be but few sold in this market at lesi
than 7cents per pound. We heard one buyer
say to-day that the advance Of his cattle above
the rates Of last December was equal to $zo, oo(
year. Nearly all of the cattle viii be sold tc
day Owners are confident that the market viii

The Hog market lie very brisk to.day-the ar
rivals less than last week, and prices q shade
better. Sheep are ais higher.osIi42 gsd i. s.a y
