Remarks,There were no Cattle from Maine this
week, ana but few from the West, The supnlv
from the West was full as larre as the demand re-
CURED, and Cattle cost higher at Albany MANY of
beeyes costing 12s q 13c y Id. The trade was slow
on Tuesday The butchers did not take hold SO
sharply as they do when the trade beet at Boston
brought.irom the West and disposed OF at the CON-
mission houses makes it rather hard for the butchers
to buy beet and compete with, especially since The
Cattle disease has been among the Cattle markets Of
Brighton and Cambridge.
