instead OF only 600, we found at Brighton in the
afternoon that there were 1900 head from Albany

authorities suspending the embargo on importa-
ton of stock, so far as it applied to Canada. In
der the free run which lasts until the 18th inst,
large numbers of cattle and sheep are expected
to cross the lines. Besides these 1900, there
over 100 extra heavy and extra good oxen from
the Connecticut Valley most of which were su-
perOr stabilized bullocks, Here the stock arrived
rather late, and as butcher and drovcr could not
agree upon terms there were hut few cattle sold
up to 1 o'clock. Droyers say that their stock
cost higher than last week, but we doubt whether
the butchers can be brought to pay any more.
