Fat stock of all kinds is In great plenty, at various prices, according to time and place. 

 Lean stores, sheep or cattle, are every where dear and in request, from the vast stock of 

 food ; and the apprehension is again entertained by the feeders, that the store price is far 

 too great to afford any warrant of successful feeding.
