REMAKES ON THE BEEF UABKET. 



The surplus receipts of cattle still continue very large, say 

 ■early 60 ^ cent, above the average yearly requirements for 

 city consumption. Thus, against the average weekly receipts 

 of 3,143 for last year, we have this week 5,^05, l»st week 

 4 6(i3, the previous week 5,728, and during the week before 

 6,040. This gives an average of 5,206^ week during a 

 month past. Of course, under this continued overstock 

 prices continue to go down; iudetd they have now reached a 

 non-paying figure lor producers. Many of the cattle yarded 

 at AUerton's to-day were of poor quality — some of them very 

 poor. This is partially owing to the lack of liourishmcnt in 

 the prairie grass at the West, after so much wet weather in 

 the spring, and in part to the fact that quite a number of 

 the cattle now coming in are the remnants of droves, or such 

 animals as farmers choose to turu out in payment for debts 

 previously contracted, tome of tbeni, ut the low prices— 

 4@6c "^ fi) net— obtained to-day. paid but little more than
