SATURDAY EVENING, Nov. 1a,-The brst!e snd ex
element Of our Presidential campaign having passed
away the receipts OF Beef Cattle have ngain assumed
their previous magnitude and the movements OF tho
market have been characterized BY thelr accustomed
activity During the past week the stock trains have
arrived with fair regularity, md the receipts daily
have varied but little.
whilst the supply in point Of numbers has been fully
rs large ns had been anticipated, there has been
little departure from its previous charac-
Of stock and being still marked by the absence OF bet
te. cattle-extra grades being out OF the question.
This may be atibutedto the aot that previous to the
maturity OF this seasons corn crop, farmers had no
old corn On hand and hence were unable commence
futteplpg stock ss early in former ycars; and many
Of them now prefer selling their cattle In their present
condition to feeding, them upon corn at $12o per
bushel.
The market has been dependent chiefly for It's con.
tnuous activity upon the requirements OF our Chca

supply have been compelled to eonnue themselves to
EASTERN buyers have bought nesly. aud appear
to entertain more confidence In the prospective de-
mand Of Eastern markets than for time pasta
The efdiRcaty has been tho nominal character Of
the 1Icepta ofshippng STOCK owing to which but few
cattle have been bought for Eastern shipment. =

Is however, prospect Of one or two contracts being
