REMARKs.-Of the cattle at market, over 1900

To which about $50 left over from last weeks
stock may be added. The butchers come into
the market from week s trade in the dressed
meat that was far from encouraging-Mondsy
especially was hard day. The best of the West
ern lots, and the few other extra cattle may been
sold or commissioned at about last weeks prices
but fair to good cattle do not sell as WELL ana
poor to fair find considerable worse market
To bring anything over $500 per 100 lbs, the
oxen and steers must be extra" A few OF the
"Western" came all the way from Texas, some OF
which were sold at l0c, 40 per cent of live weight
being allowed for offal. Bailey Brothers of Yer
mont had several bulls, that nobody wanted 81
anything like last weeks rates. There were more
poor western than last week. There are many
cattle unsold this morning. and the whole thing
has downward look.
The sheep trade is even worse than the catTls
trade. The butchers complain of the quality, anq
say they would give more if the stuff was better.
Some sheep and lambs together wereisold at &c
per ID. which does not leave large margin on
Is to IS pound lambs. Butchers thought $3 per
head about as high as they could pay. Drovers
said they thought themselves lucky to get home
cost. A market altogether that looks - though
prices here or in the country must alter consider
nbly soon.

Shall reap their honors due.
Shall there be found heart so cold,
AS with indifference to behold
The battle-marks they bear
The scar, the mutila ed limb
Another sight, to melt cen him,
Shall be unfolded there:
A host of children; orphans made

To every patriotic breast,

Yet proud the orphans check will glow,
And rapture mingle in the flow
OF each sad widows tears
When, with the faQs OF triumph won,
Brighl pledges that the war Is done,
Victorious Meade appearsi
When he whom Gettysburg proved great,
Shall t) the ruler of cur state
ThO'e gallant trophies bring,
Triumphant music. grateful prayer
Alternately will fill the air,
And shouts eXu,tant ring!
Europe our triumph sees from afar,
And teeg herself the shock OF war.
While we sweet Peace recall;
So justice true success insuies,
And still pre-. eminent endures
The fame of Tower Hall.
