| REMARKS.-On Tuesday, the 18th, including
! p from Name, there were at Camhridge 200G
cattle, and 775 sheep and lambs The trade in
cattle fair; in sheep, dull, as the market in
the city was overstocked. Prices for cattle were
! lower than last tuesday, but about the same as
were obtained last week on Thursday and Fri
| day.
! On Thursday the arrivals of cattle over the
northern roads, including 200 from Nebraska
! via the Fitchburg, &C., amounting TO $50, making
| the receipts of cattle at Cambridge for the week
| over 1000, besides l75 Western sent over from
! Brighton. Although It was expected that the
scare about the disease in Western cattle would
operate TO favor the Northern drovers, trade was
| not brisk, as the market was overstOcked, and
the teeth OF the consumer set on edge by the
newspaper reports of the appearance of cattle
disease. SO far as we can ascertain, there has
geen no tronble except with single lot bought
in Albany. 1t was said there had not been q
single death among the cattle at Brighton, and il
| appeared to be the general opinion that the dan
ger as well as the facts in the case hardly justi
fed the apprehensions which had been excited.
AT Brighton, also, the supply was evidently in
excess of the demand. Some u cars of cattle
arrived on Tuesday, some u on Wednesday, anG
about 80 on Thursday. The result is that cattle
are constantly on hand at Brighton, and like 9th
er goods, are on sale every day in the week. l
is evident from our quotation of sales thar ordin
airy to poor quality of beef, especially OF the
Western, is considerably lower than last week
scarcely any lots being quoted at any thing owe
l3c per pound and two or three lots being quo
ed as low IS Sc, 40 SIX which latter price repre-
Sents very slim grade-mostly Texan.
. SHEEP AND LAMBS.-The receipts at Ca m
bridge were 800 on Tuesday and 900 on Thurs
day-d total of 10000 over the Norlhera roads
The market was badly broken, and drovers foun,
much trouble in dispOSing of their fiocks at an,
price. The wholesale dealers had supplied them
, seveS with about $500 western sheep and Their
were also some 332 lambs from Maine The,
could therefore afford 10 laugh at the calamity @
the Northern drOYers.
