NEW YORK CATTLE MARKET
Monday, Nov. 6.-The market opened this
morning with about $500 head Of bulloeks in
the sale pens, and the number was increased
to over 200 by arrivals during the forenoon,
and large portion of the stock was such as
would suit our first class butchers, who will
have the best quality whatever may be the
sellng price. In consequence of the large
number OF hrst-rate bullocks on sale to day,
the price IS not so high as it was week ago
ana the trade Is not as lively. Notwithstanding
the weather Is SO much better-it being dry
clear and mild, and the market. place in com,
Portable condition. From what We hear We
Judge that some 900 head of bullocks intend.
ed for this market have failed to arrive and
1t being known that they we're expected has
somewhat depressed the market; but the worst
effect has been produced by Secesh move
ment Of the wholesale butchers to resist the psy.
ment OF the Government tax of SOC. . head.
The character Of this movement may be inferred
from the fact that it appears to have been ia.
augurated by butcher who is called BY those
who know him best ''a rank secessionist -
Tho butchers Of the same breed held a meet
ing last week, and resolved that they would
buy no bullocks unless the drovers would de-
duct the tax from the price agreed. This Sc
cesh trick the "Butternuts" undertook to
carry out to-day, and for sometime created
good deal of excitement in the market, and
seriously injured trade, but they soon found
that they had made grand mistake. Some of
the brokers told them plainly that they would
not make the deduction, and more than that,
they would not give credit to any one who was
villain enough to ask it and some men were
compelled to walk out of the yards and leave
the cattle they had agreed to buy. Others
were told, after completing purchase, and re-
quiring 80 cents of, that they we're welcome to
the fruits of their rascality, for they had paid
have been asked if they had not required the
''tax off," Still the effect was injurious to
the market, without working any benefit to
the conspirators, as brokers were willing to
sell to others at lower rates than they would to
any member of the ''Assocation'' which was
formed to resist the tax and try to make it
odious. This is probably the most rascally and
open act Of Secession committed in this city,
and it has signally failed in its object. The
drovers and brokers will resist the demand so
far as to stop the supply of cattle if necessary
1t is probable, however, that the movement
was only made to affect the State election. If
it effects that half as much as it will the credit
of those who resist paying the tax. it will ac-
complish all that the friends of the Rebels de-
sire. Fortunately this act of rebellion reacts
upon the heads of the movers, and the feeling
IN the market at the close of the day is dec-
dedly better than at the beginning. The
range of price is 6 to 9 cents pound for the
net weight of beef, the seller sinking offal and
very few sell at the extreme. The mass sell
at 7@8c. pound. One O. the curosities of
| the trade this week, is the purchase of about
SO bulocks for the French Government. They
were taken by VIM. Watts, one of our city
butchers, generally of the class known as up
| country oxen, and not such as are considered
first rate for city trade There is very large
number of heavy old oxen on sale this week,
only portion of which are stall fed, an
there is great run Of old cows, stays. bulls,
heifers and grass steers, and the reach runs
lower for this class than it has for q month
past.
| THE CLOSE OF THE MARKET.
Tuesday Nov. 4.-From the quiet dulluess
of the market-plsce this morning we should
| al fho 70 Of boI 4 D.,
their Rebel brothers. Unless there is strong
rally of buyers toward night, there is no chance
of closing out all the bullocks on sale. About
200 were added to the number this morning.
leaving probably very near 1000 head behind
at Dunkirk, Buffalo and Albany, which will
tend to depress the market next week. The
closing sales this week will undoubtedly show
worse for owners than any of the last four
weeks, upon all grades. 1t is not to be WON
dered at, when We look at the very large sup
ply, ranging over 5000 head week for o icDg
| time.
