BEEvEs--This is . rather dull market, although
the receipts by railroad are below the average,
and the total number on eale less than last week
The demand Ie lighter than was to be expected,
but the New Workers say that they cannot bny to
any adsantagc. as the supply at hame is sure
to be large and prices. low. There was 3
time when, Informed Of the number brought
i'll by Central and Erie railroads, the buyer
for New Yo1k could calculate with some degree Of
certainty as to the total supply that would be in
market but all that il changed. Irregular ship
ments are now made from some OF the river cou1l-
ties, and from other neas localities, and SO heavy
have thcee eeen at times as to seriously disturb
the calculations Of the most careful Buyers, there
fore, are becoming mure cautious when urged to
buy, becsnse the receipts By railroad are compa-a
