The market has been pretty firm, hut
inactive throughout the week, and prime
and extra Cattle, being rather scarce,
have sold at better prices; and ut Hud-
son City even medium Breves sold for
better prices than on Monday of last
week. -.
This morning the market opened with

Steers, of from g TOT cwt. net. Prime
fort was made to spring the market,
and sellers held for au advance of &c
per III. on the tops of the best drovcs:
the butchers did not buy freely.
and after a few of the choicest

per h.. the market settled to about
the same figures as we reported on

BY calling weights % lbs. per Bnllocks
less than the actual weights, few Cat
tie may have sold at 17ic. per lb. 1t was
a slow. dragging understandable men
were not anxious to speculate; and al
though the weather was unusually cold
and favorable, the reports of sales do
not warrant a reported advance to-day
over the sales of Monday last.

of premium Cattle, bnt we do not learn
ofthe intended shipment of any very
