CATTLE-The market for cattle is
reported firm, there being a good de-
mand for fatted beeves, and butchers
are inclined to purchase more freely
than heretofore. The receipts, how
ever, are not equal to the requirements,
and good drove of beeves will proba-
bly, bring an advance on the present
! rates. The sales for the week were at
e. to s. cents ON the h .of as per quail
ty.
FREIGHTS-Th rates of freight,
both eoastwise and foreign, are not
quotably changed. Coastwise freights
have declined fraction owing to the
limited amount of freight Offering
shipment, but foreign freights, which
is done principally under charter,
are not materially changed. The ar
rival of tonnage during the week has
been equal to the demands for berths.
For last rates paid see table below.
