BULLS HEAD.-rhe enormous capacity OF New
York TO absorb food has been witnessed t1is week IN
the operations Of the beef cattle market. We have
AIS head of bullocks reported for the weekssuP-
ply. which our reporter estimates will average 800
pounds of beef, making 3,s22, 400 pounds. Ii we
take cents as the average price that butchers paid
per pound, counting hide and fat aud oai at nohins'
it would give s3Oj, '92 rs The amount drawn nom the
city by tho country for one wsehs supply oi oeei'
True the supply il large one, ana the price has
ruled low IN consequence; but all tue cattle, with
the exception OF perhaps 300, were taken by city
butchers, including, of course the adjoining towns
Perhaps it is well 10 say to the country - on can
do that again" You must lossen the supply, or
down goes the price.
