RemarkS-Ihere was not so many Cattle in market
this week there were last. The quality of the
Western Cattle were better and beef Cattle cost
higher at Albany, but the trade has not improved
much and do not think that prices for beeves have
changed materially from last quotations. There
few very extra Ohio Steers in market, which
weighed over 1900 each and will probably cost near
ly if not quite 14c P ID dressed weight. There
but few beef Cattle among those from Maine most
of them being Working Oxen and Steers, tor which
the trade has been dull.
