The number of cattle for this market
was rather heavy, and the market de-
.clined from 25e to SOC per hundred from

good prices when they are brought into

affected. The prices this week may be
quoted as follows: Extra LOO to 1900
steers 73sStc; good LOO TO LOO steers Ia
74c; bulls, stays, cows, &c, from 5 to 64c.

very large, the arrivals each day show
ing an increase. Prices on sheep have
declined very NATURALIZATION soc to 81
2 cwt. lower than last weeks quota

Adams, Circulating Librarr.

On Monday next, Mr.. George Adams
opens his large stock of standard and
miscellaneous books as a circulating
library for the benefit of the reading
community. We cannot but think that
such an opportunity offered for the
reading of good and useful books, for a
small sum, viii prove of great advantage
to those who cannot well afford to buy
them, as well as for those who, after
reading once, do not care for them again.
The retail price of the book must be de-
posted when it is taken out. Any book
not worth Over one dollar will be charged
ten cents for the reading of it. A dollar
and a half book, fifteen cents. A two
dollar book, twenty cents, &c. Each
book is to be returned within ten days,
and the money will be refunded, less the
price for reading. Any book -unnecesss-
rily injured cannot be returned.
