occasoned another loss TO droveT this week The
number OF cattle at Albany 30 large Sunday,
which the great market day there and just suits that
town Of Jews and Sabbath breakers, that the

and laborng under sort OF Bull Run panic, they sold
about 500 head at prices according to the estimate Of
all buyers and many Of the brokers, on the average ~
head below the current rates Tuesday, which is and
we hope will continue to be the regular market day..
There not as many bullocks on sale as the panic
makers anticipated by thousand head so that prices
the regular day better than that day week, and
showed dead loss to drovers Of S6000 1t would have
been still greater but Messrs Starr and Reed came In
Monday evening and took out some $50 head OF the best
GoYernmen ccount saving at least 500 from the
price that class sold for to butchers on Tuesday.

RECEIPTS this week, 5l2i.
1t is not always that light receipts produce high prees

witnessed on Tuesday, in Sixth street. were ay cents
head advance upon the rates current that day week.
Some lots Of clipped sheep sold at prices over ~ cents
pound, live weight. We noticed lot Of fine wool,
clipped sheep held 81 2 that we could not estimate at
anything over e5 lbs each. We saw email lot Of au.

lambs in the same pen at the same price
The principal part Of the stock in Sixth street Monday
and Tuesday came from Philadelphia, the usual supply
from Albany having failed 1t seems to be generally

price Of wool Is such to induce farmers to hold on to
their stock
