Messrr. English and Boone, report We
handled fully 500 head Of cattle, and sold
them at prices ranging from $3.50 to $4.26
per hundred. There were fully 800 head
on the market, large majority Of them
being extra young cattle. Take the day
all through, il was an extremely dull one,
made so, doubtless, by the extreme low
figures ruling the New York market, and
from the further fact that the dry weather
Of few weeks past, has cut the grass crop
short. In horses there was little done. We
offered some few head, and they brought
from $40 to $40 per head.
