CLOSE OF THE MARKET
TUESDAY, Aug. 8-There was very little trade
ing off rapidly and cheap, yesterday, butchers
the evening: They must have bought i, 500 bull
which made a lively trade for the incpient cat
tie brokers with tarred sticks. Less than 100
head came in since yesterday, and all the stock
about 200 head-which were held for better Dri-
ces. 1t Will pc well for fOrwarders to bear in

ed hotels, and that another such supply will
assuredly carry prices still lower.
Droyers still complain that the Erie Read does
best sales on Monday morning. This is account
ted for by the amount of stock thrown upon
them-more than twice as much as the Hudson
River Road which, for some cause, is falling be-
hind in the live stock line.
