| Remarks The supply OF Cattle from the West for
the week are mostly poor; there were but few lots
OF good cattle from that section. Tie Cattle from
Maine were better upon an average than has been
brought from that State or late. Some OF the best
| lots were sold upon private terms. The trade T
Store Cattle still inues dull and the demand for
Working Oxen has not been very active this week.
Good cattle sold quick at prices in some instances
trhe better. Many OF the Cattle from the West were
TexaS.
