The markets are rather dull. Large quantities of vege¬ 
tables are brought in by the Hudson Itiver Boats. The sea¬ 
son for most of the fruits is about over, with the exception 
of some of the later keeping kinds.

There is quite a falling oil' of numbers in market to-day, 
and we saw no specimens worthy of especial notice. The

feriority of the cattle compared with those presented for 
some weeks previous, the prices are from %@% of a cent 
per lb. higher than last week.
