Remarks-The supply OF Cattle in market for tn
week was larger than that OF last, and the quality
of the Western Cattle was not quite so good and
prices have fallen off from to &c y ID for beet. The
trade has been active for both beeves and working
oxen. The trains on the Northern roads have been
detained for two weeks and they did not all gee in
until night on TUESDAY, and those that should have
got in on the early parf OF last week did not arrive
until Friday and Saturday.
