New York Cattle Market.

BULL HEAD, MONDAY. Nov. 9.-NOtWltStand
ing the impression that prevailed during the
week along the lines of Transportation that the
supply of beef CATTLE would be short to-day, we
find nearly 200 head in the sale pens, very few
of which are stale cattle and consequently the
state OF the market is not what droverS general
ly anticipated; Early in the morning the sales
rates, but that was not the general impression,
and before night it was almost the unanimous
opinion that the market was not on the whole
as good as a week ago. Our own opinion Is that
it is full as good for first class bulloiks, which
sell at prices equivalent to l0@io12c, and some
extra good at lie per pound for the net weight of
beef seller sinking offal, and probably quite as
good for medium grades, at oG12l@c per pound,
but not as good for the lower grades, at 6lsDSc .
harder to day than they have in several weeks.
There would have beena fair supply Offrst-claSs
bullocks for the city if none had been taken for
the army; but as the agents, Messrs Starr & Reed
took about 10 head, selected from various
droves, of the very best, fop shipping, it inter-
fered with the prices OF frst-clasS butchers, and
will continue to do so as long as the South At
lantic army is furnished in the same way it is
now with the best beef in market. The prospect
OF continued good prices for the same class of
cattle, we think favorable to the feeders. We
don't believe the price will be less than l0c. .
ID this Winter OF low grades and medium the
market is crowded. We expect the reports for
the week, made up tomorrow, will again show
over 5000 head. True great many OF the num-
Der are very light, as some whole droves are re-
ported to-day at an average of only 81 cwt net,
and many small lots are still lighter. The mar
ket to-day may be rated fairly active at the quo
all the stock will be sold. Several other lots are
expected to fill up the demands of the closing
day: The Sheep market has been dull all the
week. and opens this morning at lower rates
than last Monday, with a full supply, and large
reserve waiting to fill up Top prices OF old sheep
SIC. q To- live weight. The Hog market opens
very hard for owners. The pens are crowded,
and trade fiat and nothing better than last
weeks quotations can be expected.
