The supply from Maine this week was light and
the quality very poor but few cattle suitable for
beef among them. The trade for working oxen and
store cattle has been very fair. The supply of Wes-
tern cattle in market is larger and cattle cost higher
beef cattle have advanced from to &c " h. and the
trade for that class has been lively account of
smash-up on the Boston & Albany railroad; this part
of the cattle trains was detained and did not get in
until late, several car loads being damaged. &
