THE SHEEP MARKET.
We found most singular state Of things
IN the ;heep market Monday morning. AZ
ten . clock there was not a sheen for sale In
sixth street..-nOne having arrived st that
hour, The butchers were geltinI a little
nervous, and brokers anticipated being able
C, TO name higher price than last Monday
ms they succeeded in doing, but only to
cover the advance upon pelts, which, il Is
sad, move up 25 to 3lc each this month";
Inc butchers are evidently afraid to buy
sheep at any advance on the meat, as it is re-
ported that the Albany butchers are buying
neaViiy, Intending to send the meat to
Washington Market, in this city, where Il
sells at 5(97c per pound for mutton. and s(S
7c per pound for lamb. The same feeling
prevented those who usually buy sheen at
Albany for this market from operating this
week. The stock there was very iarRe, and
good deal oft went East. This morning
the supply in Sixth street was light, and
mostly in the hands Of one man, who was in
great demand by those who were anxious to
get supply as low as they did a week ago,
but 1t WIS no ue. Looking at the great
falling oifin supply, it is wonder that the
price did not advance more than it has. We
think some lots of good sheep that would
average 100 ID live weight sell pretty easily
to-day at $5. We noticed one lot of poor
ones sold at Forty fourth street this morn
ing by the owner at $275. These would
dress 30 or 35 ID each, and deducting $l75
tor pelts, leaves thecaroasses at only about
30 ID. Probably the owner. in saving bro
kers commission of loo head, lost SIS
cents, as one who understood the market.
and that there was good grounds for an ad-
vance, would have sold the lot at $3.50 each.
THE HOG MARKET.
Receipts this week, 3l,672 Quotations
So ,GS79 per cwt live weight for corn
= f,Iogs, and So, 50(G4 for distilIery ted, are
ti%quotations given to day by H. ID. Grant,
Superintendent the market. The arri.
walls are light to-day, and weather favorable,
and trade moving steadily at the quota lions,
the election not affecting this branch II the
market as much as it does tho beef cattle.
