OH Monday is very unpopular, and the sales this
week on that day were made at decline. Tues
day morning opened heavily, and the sales were
made at prices &c per 10 lower than the rates OF
last week, and to day the market has been still
worse for the seller, the decline being equal to
50@15c per cwt in prices and estimates OF

the yards barely cleared of stock.
The sales of this week have been unfortunate
for the spectators, who bought largely at bany
