Remarks-Cattle-Norther Cattle sold at last
weeks prices for like quality, constituting in all 552

Steers driven from Brighton, making total of 7l3
head. Dealers asked for Western Cattle advance,
but before the close Of the market their Cattle were
| turned out ut prices no higher.
Sheep and Lambs-This week the Sheep and
Lambs that were sold early brought full ic ay fb
more than was obtained later. Some of the dealers
don't relish the downward tendency in prices; with
cool Lambs at hand lowing to the goo feed in the
country they say they han rather keep them in the
pastures; but they had better take fair price at
] present than hold on until the market is glutted
