.\ good deal of business was done today in the

 two lots from Duchess Co. N. Y. and one or 

 o lots from Connecticut River. From the qua- 

 of the cattle the market must be considered a 

 ide lower, as the prices were about the same as 

 i last three or four weeks, with the exception 

 rliaps of the best — a lefes number brought $5 

 r cwt. than in either the preceding weeks,

 II supplied with good Sheep, and sales were

 eep — 1 lot of 60 at $4 ; 1 do. 80 at $3^, and
