In the early part of the week there
was considerable excitement manifest
ed on the part of spectators, in antici-
patton of short supply of cattle, and
the principal part of the droves changed
hands as fast as they arrived, at adj
vanced rates. Subsequent arrivals,
however, proved sufficient for the de-
mand, and although the market opened
this morning quite brisk, and buoyed
up by the presence of number
of Eastern spectators, when the
1FnVna oil IN nvidnnE
that the advance sought could not be re-
allied. Statements are so conflicting
that 1t is difficult to arrive at the exact
state of the market, but by compar-
ison OF the prices to-day, with those OBJ
tanned last week, a slight advance is the
most natural conclusion. The qualit y
of the offerings, however, which is much
better to-day than for several weeks
previous, must also be taken into con-
sideration. Stock cattle are scarce, and
We are without quotations, except for
common heifers, which brought 5951z
cents.
THE SWINE MARKET. -
The arrivals of Hogs at the various
yards this week have been unusually
large, amounting to 6.7O9 head, against
3,S4l last week.
REMARKS
The large supply during this week,
together with limited demand, has
caused an unusually dull market for
Hogs, and although there Is no change
in quotations, there is an evident ten
dency downward in prices. At the
close to-day, sales are reported very
slow and difficult to make at the quota
lions below:

REMARKS.
