Remarks-The supply of Cattle in market was
larger than that of last week, but the quality not
much different, most of the Cattle being of ord-
nary grade; few of the best Cattle sold at 10 a 1876
W Id. A large portion OF the Eastern Cattle were
sold for beef. There were some very nice beeves
among them. The supply Of Working Oxen was not
large, but there was enough for the demand On ac-
count of the storm the trade was so active
as is usual the first day.
