FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
There was an expectation of livestock
during the week from New York to Ber-
muda which included Is cattle and so
sheep. There is practically no change in
the condition of the export trade in live
stock, and receipts have been light. Up
to July of this year there has been ship
/ pei from Atlantic ports $50 cattle, 24I'
sheep and IS hogs. the entire amount
being shipped from New York to the
BEL mudas with the exception og 7oS sheep
which were shipped the first of the year
from Boston to Liverpool.
| Tho total valuation on the exports of
cattle, sheep and hogs during June were
estimated at Washington at value OF
slo5. 1854. During the IL months ending
July 1 the entire valuation on livestock
exports was valued at $1.04o,s74. This val
uation exceeded that of the same period

HORSE MARKET.
! Boston July 28-The market was gen
orally dull with a few sales outside OF
the local demand, which was almost
wholly retail, very few wholesale orders
being filled. Prices we're hard to hold
under the slack demand. and many sales
were reported lower than week ago,
although within the range of last weeks
quotations. A few men from the coal
companies were about picking up a few
horses but only bought sparsely as 1t is
too early for this end OF the trade to de-
velol into activity. There were num-
Der of seconds offered. the best of which
sold readily at fair values Supplies Of
green horses were very light, which, con-
sidering the dull demand, was fortunate.
