It wil. be perceived at a glance that we have materially re- 

 duced the quotations of Isist week, but the tru9 state of the 

 market cannot be fully understood by any one not present. 

 Wo will try to make it as clearly Buderstood as possible. In 

 the first place, we needed a larger Bui)ply this week than last, 

 but did not ned 782 more. Ths alone is sufficient to re- 

 duce price'*. But there were other circumstances. Thoraur 

 ket opened Tuesday with 2,422 cattle in the yards, aud every 

 body having cattle to S'.ll, know very well that these OiJO 

 lu-.d, ou an Albany boat, puch on t!io overslaugh, wiiicb 

 would be in to-diiy in time forsnle, and it was believed that 

 about ISOmoro would come in by cars, making over 3 000 



head, many of them heavy bullocks. This knowledge had \ 

 a sort of par.ic influence upon the owners, which buyers ; 

 were not slow in discoveriug, and so all the afternoon. Tues- ' 

 day, it was a sort of game of brag, to see which party would 

 outwit the other, gome of the brokers and Western drovers 

 were shrewd enough to accept the best bids to be had,and let 

 the cattle run, while others held ou, in hopes to-day would 

 be better. A great number of cattle, too, were in the hands 

 of speculators, bought at Buffalo, Albany, Bergen and here, 

 at prices that would not bear the general decline without 

 heavy losses. Such held on ia « sort Of desperation of hope, 

 that this day had not realized. 



Fortunately, for Illinois drovers, Stock is transported from 

 Chicago now at wonderfully low figures. Regular shipments 

 at $3 50 a head, competing roads offering still lower.

 There is no material alteration in the Hog market. The
