CATTLE-The week just closed has Witnessed
no improvement in the general features of the
cattle market. On the contrary, tho dullness
and depression prevalent last week and the pre-
ceding one have, If possible, been intensified.
The only favorable circumstance noted in con-
nection with the maaket was the somewhat di-
minished receipts, the arrivals aggregating only
Il, TOT head, against II, 1856 Inst week. The sup
ply actually on sale, however, fell little, If any,
short OF last week, for it will be remembered
there we're somewhere between 5000 and LOCO
stale cattle. But independent OF any increase
or decrease of receipts the condition Of the sea-
board markets was such that any decided change
for the better in the market here was an event
that could not reasonably be Looked for. So far
as tho better grade Of stock. such as are usually
taken for the Eastern markets, were concerned
there was virtually no market, tho aggregate
purchases Of shippers reaching only about 5000
head-considerably less than oue-fourth OF the
supply. Some of the best dro7es were for
Warded in first handa. i bunch Of extra graded
steers changed hands early in the week at $3.50,
but with this single exception 5000 vas the
highest figure obtained, while eales at over
$3.50 were extremely rare Most Of the trans-
fess were at the low range Of 92.50@4.75.
Packers lave been in regular attendance,
and have operated from day to day. but on 8
more limited scale than during last week, the
miloness OF the weather having retarded oper-

demand, but under too liberal supply prices
during Tuesday and Wednesday weakened to
the extent Of 25c per 100 lbs, and have ruled ir-
regular Hlnce- We now quote at 52.G0@3.G 90 for
common at s3.25@3.50 for medium; and at
S3.75@4.0o for good to prime. Veal calves re-
main dull at $3.5o@5.50 for common coarra
heavy to choice light, with sales chiefly at 53.75
@a.75. Texas cattle, though comprising the
larger portion Of the receipts. have commanded
relatively better prices than native stock, and all
were disposed Of.
To-day the market WIS dull and easy. Neither
local nor outside buyers we're operating to any
considerable extent, and tho few sales reported
indicated slight decline from former rates. We
give the following as the closing
