Bulls HEAD, Tuesday, May 6.-In general
terms we Ehoufd eay that the state Of the market
for beef cattle would not vary much from what it
YVES reported at last week In quality Of the stock,
and selling priceR, it does not, but the condition
Of the market is very different. Last week the
sales commenced at panic prices On Monday.
and were made at three or four dollars q
head less than they were on Tuesday. It Is e1-
att1y the reverse this week, though unt half IS
mary were sold yesterday as on that day last week,
head higher than it is today, while trade to-
day is much dn1ler than it was. this day
week; the number Of cattle on sale Is about
$3.50, which is only $50 head more than
8 week ago, and not enough to affect the market
in the 1eaet. The bulk Of the stock is from ILL
nols, and composed OF good fair cofnfed Steers Of
6E@8 cwt-, which sell at 51SK cents q pound
upon the net weight Of meat. Some extra good
Bullocks sell at 9 cents 4 pound, and we
think that heavy, fat Oxen sell rather bet
ter than q week ago-other sorts at the
came rates, bnt slower. AL the stock on sale
will be disposed Of before the close of busness
Tomorrow. and probably without decline, so that
the average OF the market will be fully good the
quality being abont equal. Some heavy State
Oxen and other fat Bullocka. not Of the finest quail
itE, though very good, have been sold to-day st 5
cents apound net on the Gales at IS lbs = cwt
Some Of the same class OF cattle sold to the
party 1ast week, dressed Sc b 4 cst It is under
stood thst eome 40u head are taken out OF the
market this week on Government account, and

in diameter, built In the best manner by Mr..
Henry Warrington Of the Vulcan Foundry.
Her machinery altogether will weigh about 80
tons.
The hull OF the boat is built in the most
substantial manner and OF model to combine
the greatest amount Of speed and strength.
She is to have ample cabin accommodations,
consisting Of 8 house on deck some 60 feet
long and feet high, with cabin also aft.
containing four large staterooms and eight
berths.
4 peculiarity Of the new boat is the fact
that she Was built entirely by Chicago me-
chanics. All the work Of her engines, boilers
and hull was done here, and done, we believe,
IN such manner as to demonstrate that Chi
cago can successfully compete with other and
older lake ports in turning out fine crafts. Tn.
deniable is 1t that her superior is not yetafoat
in Western waters; and while Aessrs. Prindi-
vile, Nicholson and Ehbert may well be proud
Of the successful result OF their efforts, Chi
cago also may look with pride upon this mas
terpiece Of marine building, She is to be
commanded by Capt, Nicholson, one of the
o1ners, lately Of the steamer Planet, an old
and successful commander upon the Lakes.
Her engineer, Mr. Ebberts, who is also one OF
the owners, has been long known in connec.
ton with the Galena and Chicago Union Rail
road, first as Master Mechanic, and latterly as
Assistant Superintendent Of the Road.
The intention Of her owners is to use hel
principally for towing vessels be
tween Lakes Erie and Huron, and
wrecking, during the summer; in the
fall, bringing her to Chicago to render
assistance to any vessels in distress in the Vi.
cinity when the other boats are laid up, and
starting her again carly in the spring to assist
vessels through the ice in the Straits. Hel
superior strength and power, being Of about
twice the size and capacity Of the Mcqueen
render her well fitted for such service, and VT
have no doubt she will fully realizs
everything that is expected Of her, She is t.
leave here in about ten days.
An object of considerable interest on boart
Of the boat at the time of the launch. was
rebel flag, captured at Roanoke Island, an,
| presented to Captain Prindiyi1e by the Cap
tain Of the Neptune. It is simply whit
flag with green harp in the center, witha
! rather q pretty afIair.
