NEW YORK CATTLE MARKET
Monday, Oct. 27.-The worst weather and
best market Of the season for drovers have oc-
Cured to day. The price of all grades would
have been about half cent higher than it was
last week, if it had not been for the severe
rain storm that prevailed all night upou the
stock In the cars, making them very uncom-
Portable, and causing them to shrink into the
smallest possible dimensions, so thst they ap-
peared in the eyes of the. buyers, about half q
hundred weight less than estimated by own :
ers. The rain continued to fall heavily at in
tervals through the day, and interfered very
much with business, still the cattle sold quite
lively oil the fore part of the day at an advance
about fourth of cent upon oil the best stock,
that 10 Ste. y I'd net for such az sold 1t Sc.
last Monday, and S3@8a for first class, and
80. for extra, such O. some of our best up
country cattle. At the same time there are
too many State cattle selling at 6@7c, - ID
and some are reported still lower. III
The number generally supposed to be in
market this morning was about $500, but
proved to be some 400 more-the number
down the Harlem road and on foot from tho
eastern counties being unusually large, all Of
which sold at prices more satisfactory to own
ers than at any market before this Autumn.
Ofthe number on sale to day an unusually
large proportion were sold before noon, all
parties being disposed to make the work as
short as possible in the rain. Towards night
it became generally known that some 500 head
more were expected, and the large buyers
we're induced to hold off for the closing day.
This had an effect upon the medium and low
er grades, to prevent any advance, Is would
be the case, if the buyers were sure that the
number at the great market place in Forty.
fourth street would reach 4, ZOO head. Sellers
however were not disposed to give way much
from opening prices, as they say that the
wind was getting into the northwest, with q
prospect of clear cold weather, and if 80, the
market would close well, even should the whole
Of the stock expected arrive. If it does final
ly close as well, as it opehed and has contin.
ed through the day, We shall report it the best
of the season, but no better than we have for
some time anticipated, and not yet as We ex-
pect to see before Christmas.
In the sheep market there is still further
decline, say rs cents head upon Sheep and
o tribe on Lambs.
Live Hogs block the way and crowd the
market-place, and press down the price cent
pound below this day week,
