/ REMARKS.-Ofthe 1850 cattle at market, s
were from Maine, 43 from New Hampshire, 90
! from Vermont, IS from Mas sachusetts, Y from
! Connecticut; 1866 from Western States and 81
! from canada. VI these, lOS OF the New EnglaNu
! and some go of the Western were at Cambridge.
The city beeftrade during the past week has been
rather better than 1t was the week pTeviOus-
Nearly 500 Of the Western cattle arrived last Sat
/ urday and were sold very readily and at rather
/ better prices than last week. AT Cambridge, I'M
/ der the impression that only about as many more
/ We're expected at Brighton On Tuesday, rather
. better prices were obtained than one week ago
for most Of the Northern stock, which was not of
very good quality. There were a few grass ted
young cattle and cows OF rather slim quality at
IL to Il II cts. per pound. Oxen according to
qualify Is TO &c per h., with one or Two pairs at
IA 4 to II lie. The 81 distillery fed cattle were
sold at he 81 to 80 SIX. except bulls at lac per
pound. @. NJ Brownell sold good pair OF Yer
/ mont oxen for $3.50, or nearly II ID per h. cows
and young cattle at II to Y lie per ID. D, Good
rich oxen at l3c, 2 stays estimated TO dress 1850
and cows for S2Ij about lie per lib.
At Brighton the arrivals on TuesCay amounted
to over 1909 instead OF 500 and trade favored the
buyer. The quality Of the Western was good,
and most were heavy. The drovers were aux-
ious to realize, and 20 do so were disposed 20
M Ike such concessions as to give the butchers
beet on last weeks prices. Considering t he sea-
son and the weather The supply proves larger buy
closes with the general impression that present
prices can hardly be sustained.
. The number of sheep and ambe at Cambridge
was about 1900. The sales were effected more
readily than last week. Several lots Of shOrn
yearlngs were sold 40 about 81 per head, or from
70 lie per lib. No western sheep were yardCd
no Bril- htOu. There were I0G Maine lambs, rltu-
or small and thin, offered at $3.50 per head, ay-
cragug az market 46 lbs each, live weight. Nine
cents per pound were offered. Store hogs or pig,
quite dull at quo tatOus.
