recent high prices and the drouth at the West, in conse¬ 
quence of which owners have hurried cattle off their hands, 
and overstocked the market. The salesmen stick for good 
prices, but the butchers hold off, and either tho one or the 
other must yield, or much of the stock lie over. The cattle 
to-day look rather better th. i usual. Messrs. Colver, 
Hued & Co. had a fine drove from Ohio, fed by J. M. Wil¬ 
lis. We saw some droves, however, which a high-minded 
farmer would not have on his premises. One drove was 
selling as beef or working-cattle to suit the purchaser, a 
part of which came from Connecticut; and if this is a spe¬ 
cimen, we do not wish to see any more till better fatted. 
The principal sales to-day are 8c.@9#c. extra 10 cts 
Poorer quality 7c.@8c. Mr. Browning reports the sheep 
market quite dull. The same reason may be assigned as 
that above. 
The following are about the highest aud lowest prices. 
Beeves, 8@9# cts., extra, 10 per pound. 
Cows and calves, $30@$50
