Decrease Of Cattle.

It seems to be the opinion OF thos
who have examined this matter pretty
thoroughly that . considerable decrease
vii be found in the stock Of the United

ments of this year are over. We are Of
the opinion that this may he the case 10

bred for shipment to foreign markets;
but, as to inferior stock, We question
whether much, If any. deficiency viii
be found. Yet, In any event, there viii
unquestionably be q considerable ad'
vance in the price Of cattle another year,
a. we'll rs in that Of sheep and swine.
There are two reasons Why this may be
so-the first of which Is the greatly In.
creased tide Of emigrants to our coun.
try this season, who will be consumers
instead OF producers for . twelvemonth
to come; and the second reason ie. 90
numerous are the losses sustained IN
