The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1863-07-11
New York Cattle Market.
OPENING DAY OF THE MARKET.

Monday July eff none but rebels and their
friends suffered defeat we should rejoice. But
SUCH defeat as the SPECTATORS in beef cattle
Will suffer this week involves all who deal in
them. There are over 800 head of bullocks on
a pound, and upon the lower grades of stock still
more, some of which has sold at rates estimated
less than &c. q pound for the meat Prices range
for few extra good bulIocks, which are Very
scarce and IN good demand. Very few droyes of
good lair Illinois steers will average &c., and to
The reduced figures per pound must be added the
low estimate OF weight that always accompanies
fall. It is the lowest market of. the year
1855, and but for the glorious news that anmates
all hearts, it would have gone still lower, the
supply being entirely too large for the demand
None have been taken to-day onGovernmenta c-
count, and although the brokers crowded sales
with all possible dispatch during the forenoon,
there was an unusual number unsold at noon
when trade slackened and dragged on to night,
leaving good many cattle for the second day
and more expected. Whether it will be Dos
sioIe to sell all we shall see tomorrow.
THE CLOSE OF THE MARKET
Tuesday, July We'll, we have seen the NOR

some frst.class stock has sold as high in this
market as 1t did last week, because it was very

one seems willing to embark in the undertaking
on account of the short pastures, and the Ger.

A Baltimore buyer is in market to day, but the
