THE BOSTON JUBILEE.

Now and then we get a fresh lit
tie statistic of Mr.. Gilmore's mu-
sical enterprise, of which report is
nothing if not numerical. AT the
ever to-be-remembered Jubilee, the
organ required twenty-four men to
blow it. The organ building for the
June demonstration will be three
times as large. 1t would therefore
require seventy two men to blow it

CATTLE.
The supply of cattle was again comparative
ly light to-day, footing up about 6S4 head. The
market opened up fairly active to-day, and
nearly if not all the good cattle were picked
up early in the day, and that too, at full prices
in some instances, at better prices than those
of last week-but the common grades were
slow at the opening and continued to drag all
the way through Selling at to 6cents. Prime
to extra butchers stock sold at from to 4,
and common at to Ga As compared with
last week, there was little or no difference in
prices.
SHEEP AND LAMBS.
The supply was light to-day, unusually so,
footing up about $50 head, and nearly all of
those were common. We had no sales reported
above So cts per lb. The most of the sales were
within the range of 50 to $4 per head.
HOGS.
The supply of hogs was fair. fully up to the
demand, and the market WAS moderately ac-
tive though as compared with last week, there
was but little change in prices, say 5to5 cts.
The competition among the regular dealers is
so sharp that there is little or no margin, and
at present there is not much difference between
the wholesale and retail prices; butchers are
buying half dozen about as cheap as they
could buy car load.
