The horse epidemic is continuing, and ex-
tending its ravages. In the city of New York
it is said that but few stables can be found IN
which it does not exist. ln great many prl-
yate establishments the horses are laid up,
and in several of the express companies stables.
Two hundred and eighty horses OF the three
hundred used by stevedores, on North river,
are down with the disease. In Brooklyn very
few have escaped contagion, and grocers, butch
ers, bakers and milkmen are unable to supply
their customers. In the depots of the Fire.
Morris and Essex and Pennsylvania railroads.
great quantities of freight are awaiting trans
portation, and the wharves of the large steam
ships are crowded with bales and boxes which
cannot be moved The New York passenger
car companies are making an effort to procure
dummy engines to take the place of their dis
abled horses Possibly some substantial I'M
proyement in the method Of transporting pas
sengers through the streets will grow out OF
this panic.

THE PRICE OF BEEF.-The eastern markets
in Virginia are now over supplied with beef
cattle, owing chiefly to the abundance of stock
in the grazing districts and the comparative
scarcity of forage but the butchers, who alone
can relive this pressure, adhere to their old
scale of retail prices, under the mistaken belief
that # they reduce their rates in proportion to
the decline in cattle they will not be able to re-
establish them when the glut of cattle is over.
This is wrong notion. The best thing they
can do, under the circumstances, in our opinion,
is to bring down their prices to the lowest
figures that will admit of "a living profit, - get
the whole city to chewing beef even from
the richest to the poorest, and, having by this
Temporary policy, relieved the market of the
superabundance of cattle, they can afterwards
resume the present selling rates, should they
6ud it expedient to do SO. Choice cuts of
beef were regularly retailed in our markets
twenty i've years ago, at Gas cents per h.. aud
it would be no extraordinary thing if similar
prices were to prevail now for limited period.
