Remarks.-T The attle from Maine this week were
mostly Working Oxen and Steers, the quality being
Of poor grade, and but = lev Beet Cattle among
them. The trade tor Working Oxen has been dull,
many OF the small Cattle being of poor grade sod
1t low figures; les than cost ~ home. The Western
Cattle were not much better Than has been coming
from that section OF Cattle there we're few good
lots and quite large number of Texas Cattle among
them. Prices upon the best beeves remain
changed.
