BEEF CATTLE-The Cattle mar
ket, which for several weeks past has
been steadily declining, has finally Ia
ken turn, the downward tendency
having been checked and upward move
ment 0: prices started, attended with a
commensurate activity throughout the
list. Operations commenced with an
advance OF I@4c, the greater improve
ment being 10 the middle and tops,
which was maintained throughout,
while the common grades started but
q shade better, and held along go for
while, but finally closed about as last
week. Considerable shipments of stock
90 east without being offeiei here, cola
si=ting CHIEFLY OF tops, which are in ex-
cess OF the wants OF this market. The
number OF good cattle this week was
considerably in excess OF those OF last
week.
Prices 10 day for Beef Cattle ranged
as follows: Best Beeves at 81 7j@G %;
that generally rated first quality 75@
4 Is; medium or good fair quality 3 y
as IS; ordinary thin Sleers, Oxen and
Cows > 0063 l.; inferior and lowest
grades OF Cattle . OO@0 O0-geueral
average OF tue market to-day 4 y; ex.
IRENE range o! prices 2 0O66 %. Most
of the sales were from 50 to / 622 per
100 lbs. OF the receipts 40 head came
from Ohio, 1907 from Virginia, 757
West Virginia, l67 Maryland, and 81
from Pennsylvania, AMI 20 from North
Carolina-total receipts for the
week 2913 head, against 1892 last
week, and 1851 same time last year. OF

dealers, and Gl3 head to Eastern
spcculators-total sales for the week
2264 head, against POSI- last week,
and 2l30 head same time last year.
SHEEP-There has been quite g
light run OF sheep on the market this
week, considerably less than last week,
and generally Of very different char
acter. The supply, though, has been
sufficient for the demand, which is
quite limited, there being no other than
the home trade. Sales OF such as have
been received were very slow at 43@5c
per 10 groas, but extra sheep would
command higher figures. Stock sheep
are in moderate demand at s. Op@
3 50 per head. Receipts this week
l474 head, against 2ll7 last week, ard
1898 head same time last year.
HOGS-There has been an improve
mert in the market, sttendsnt on the
lighter receipts during the past week,
en- advance Of &c per 10. being noted on
the better grades OF corn fed hogs. The
prospects at present seem to iavor a
continuance OF prices prevailing now
FOR at least q few days, as the Eastern
markets appear favorable and ship"
ments cannot well be made at the rates
ruling now in the West 10 much profit,
especially If our present figures here
tempt excessive shipments. We quote
corn fed hogs st S. 1906 %, aud still
lers at 81 $500 IS per 100 los. net.

THE OYSTER TRADE.
The Consumption This Season Has
Been Very Large Throughout the

The End OF the Season Approaching
The Consumption This Season Has
Been Very Large Throughout the
Country.
The oyster season has already begun to wane,
and those in the trade are able to detect dminu-
tion in the demand. The appetites OF the million
oyster eaters OF this city have already become ga
tiated. and IT will need the interval OF another
Summer to again render the bivalves appreciabe.
The month OF May--in which name there is not to
be found the cabaIistc letter "R''-sees the trade
almost at standstill for, strange as 1t may seem,
there are many persons who win eat oysters
up to the night OF April 80. but who shun
them on the following day. Even those
who are not supersttious bow without
hesitation to the generally-received theory that
the oyster becomes unit to eat after Apri, and
abandon their customary order at the lunch c0un-
ter OF oysters on the half she'll" Yet those who
profess TO be the best judges declare that during
no part OF the year are the oysters better than in
the middle Of May. The oyster, is then in the
exceedingly warm they are as solid as during the
winter. BE this as 1t may the nystermen do not
hn nd d tass pays to keep their arge stores open,
ture crops. T7 -" 80 80
During the season about closing the supply has
been somewhat limited by the exceedingly cold
weather, which has caused heavy sheets OF ice to
form over the beds and thus rendered them mac
cessnie TO the fishermen. II Is not believed that
the oysters have to any great extent been killed by
the cold weather. The oysters are planted two
years before the season for which they to be
put on the market The transplanting this Spring
Tor next season was treble as great as In any pre-
vious year, and the preparations already making
for putting down the young oysters are on a still
larger scale. The oysters used for planting are
about the size OF grain OF corn, and are obtained
In great quantities from Great South Bay and from
various coves up the Sound and up the Hudson.
They average about three thousand to the basket,
and at the end OF two years have grown so large
that not more than one hundred and fifty to two
hundred can be placed In the same measure. New
York city consumes at present an average OF
100000 oysters daily. Fulton Market alone using
those from saiboat TO schooner OF 200 tons
burden, are employed In the service. At present
all the choicest brands OF oysters Tor the country
and Western trade are shipped from New York,
while Baltimore still supplies most Of the smaller
and inferior grade of oysters sent into the marke9
in cans.
