New York Cattle Market,


Monday, Aug 81, IS63.-The weekly market for
beef cattle opened on Forty-fourth street this
morning, with about fl 90 head of Bullocks but
the greater portion of them were light, and some
portion of them first-claSs; and consequently
this class sold fully as high as the week preyious
that ls, lO1.allc = 10 for the estimated net
weight OF beef, seller sinking offai Some of the
statesmen, as well as buyers think that the price
OF cattle is higher this week than last 1t may
ne ia lew instances but as general thing we
the same figures as last Monday and q portion
OF them are not worth as much. Medium auali-
sold just on a par with last week, and inferior
grades not quite well; but the prospect is fair
shat al unless largely recruited tomorrow viii
be sold without any material decline. The
weather to-day is much more favorable than il
was week ago; then it was overpoweringly
c,ath hnnow II is cool enough for thick wooden
ers to buy more freely, and gives an appearance
OF more animation in the market: and the bro-
kers hoId their stock, even at last week $ prices
at rather better estimate of weight, so that the
result may be more favorable for droyers The
demand for hrst-class cattle is SO strong at this
time that the price is likely to hold nm AZ n very
liberal rate, unless larger supply comes for.
ward than we have any reason toanticipat,,. n
Is 80 high now that it would naturally brinp
country.
CLOSE OF THE MARKET
Tuesday, sept. Though the report is dated
September, this can hardly be called the frst
was SOLO while It was yet Summer We have
rarely seen four Thousand bullocks sold as readi.
y, and as nearly all in one day, as in the mar
ket this week. Indeed, many of the Yards were
cleared before O'Clock, the weather being 80
pleasant for outdoor business that there was M
cessation during the middle of the (iay. and ut
its close there were only q few remnants of
droves remaining unsold, SO that with the small
number arriving to-day, there are not enough to
make hard closing day. We may therefore
say, the market opened with good prospects for
dfovers and continued lively all day and cIoses
well, and has been altogether one of the hest
marEets OF the season, not for high pr,ces hnf
quick sales, at fair estimates Of weights and Jih
eIa prices, oonsidering quality and all the stock
eoid, so That with only the same number in the
yards next Monday drovers may reasonably an.
tlclpate another good market.
The ability Of this city to absorb a vast IMAM
lily OF beef will be seen by observing thai over
SJU head OF builOckS were sold on FRIDAY and
saturday at Bergen, and more than half "a many
more on the same days in Sixth street: vet fhe
market commenced on Monday morninp Of
Allerton's with 100 head, ~ strong as thonneh
none had been sold during the week, ana before
Ieusdsy noon all were sold and half the drovers
on for fresh supply. 1t is said that some OF the
buoyancy Of this market is owing to the inereaa.
ed demand oocasioned by the presence Of soI-
diers here. II 30, this demand must NOT he
counted upon In future calculations, II NAV he
counted npon that over 5000 bullocks have been
SOLO me last week In August, mostly at prices
ranging from S1S9llc p n for the meat.
