as the trade has been lively all day the estimates
Of fweight are more liberal than in a dull market,

knowledge that brokers and Government
agents were 10 the yards purchasing fit had
been generally known how many bullocks we're
wanted, the price OF sll on sales snitabe for

will have them, no matter what the price. they
