PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Jf.—The supply of beef cattle 
this week was very good, amounting to 1,750 head at the 
two Drove l ards. The quality of cattle was much better 
than for several weeks previous, as most of those offered 
were from Pennsylvania. The market was rather dull, and 
prices had a downward tenueney Sales were made at 
from $75$ to $ 8 M, $9 and $10 100 Rs., only prime cattle 
realizing the last named figure. 
Shkei*—T his market continues to be tvell supplied, the 
offering* amounting to over twOo. Sales were brisk at prices 
ranging from 7X to Hhi cents & tb., net. 
Cows—There is but little demand for this kind of stock, 
the sales only amounting to 125 head, at prices ranging from 
$20 to $50 for inferior and prime. 
TORONTO. Aug. 20 —Beef is plentiful, and first-class 
cattle are not worth more than $i. = 0 to $1,75 loo tbs. In¬ 
ferior cattle are unsalable, and business generally contin¬ 
ues dull. Sheep are plentiful at $2,5u to *3.50 each. Lambs 
are worth 8 s 3d to is i'd each. Calves are held at $3 to $4 
each, with a very limited demand. 
The Wool Markets. 
NEW YORK. Aug. 18.—The market for mostly all kinds 
of wool is very quiet, owing, in part, to the firmness of 
holders, consequently the sales have been confined to tmall 
lots at full previous prices The majority of the trade new 
begin to realize that they pursued a wrong course in rush¬ 
ing into the interior at. tae commencement of the shearing 
season, and purchasing liberally at the extreme rates cur¬ 
rent, but the manufacturers assert they have oeen driven 
to this expedient by the aciion of dealers in years gone by, 
in charging too exorbitant rates. Very many of them, con- 
seqGc'atiy, bought a six months’ supply, and seine having 
reduced theii production, owing to la*ge importations of 
goods from abroad, and a declining market for manufac¬ 
tured goods, in consequence, are offering a portion of their 
purchases in anticipation of buying on more accommoda¬ 
ting teims later in the season. But still greater stringency 
manifests itself In the money market. Men of means will 
not part with their wool at any essential concession from 
current prices. Meanwhile the producers are well “applied 
and. will not come into market as eatly as anticipated, pre¬ 
ferring to wont up their stock and asce tain more particu¬ 
larly tne prospects of the fall trade: that those are encoura¬ 
ging is by no means conceded—hence, the disposition to be 
cautious in the purchase of the raw material in the absence 
of any desire to speculate. The transactions include O.opy 
tbs. native (levees at 34@S5c for common to full blood; 40.000

ed s'eady with a fair local demand, particularly for frpsh 
ground. We notice a sale of sour at $3,96. Corn meal is 
quiet at $1,5601,69 
Grain— Wheat firmer, with a limited supply and a fair 
milling demand. Sales red winter State at $1,11, which is 
full 5c advance. In other grams nothing transpired. Corn 
is scarce and wanted, and oats are held at an advance of 
2@3c bushel. 
Feed— The supply is very light, and holders are asking a 
considerable advance.— Journal. 
TORONTO, Aug. 20.—Flour— The market is extremely 
dull. Holders evince no disposition to come into market, 
probably in view of higher rates, and buyers there are none. 
In the absence of any sales of moment, it is impossible to 
give reliable quotations. Good flour might, we believe, be 
Purchased at $.5 $ barrel for superfine, $5,25 for fancy, and 
$1,50 to $6 for extra. It is retailed at $-5,75 to $6 $ barrel. 
Grain—A good deal of caution continues to be exercised 
by. buyers, in view of the recent disastrous speculations in 
tins market. The wheat now brought forward is of a much 
better quality and in a better condition than that heretofore 
offering in mur\et. About 7C0 bushels changed hands yes- 
ttrday at 5s to 5s 6 d (*l to $1,105—the outside figures being 
Paid more freely yesterday. Spring wheat has not as yet 
been offered. It would probably command about 4s $ bushel. 
New rye has been bought at 3s B bushel. Barley will, it is 
Believed, be offered in much larger supply this year than 
last, the high prices of last year having induced farmers to 
sow largely. A few loads of excellent quality changed hands 
yesterday at 2s 9d to 3s B bushel. Oats were yesterday sell¬ 
ing as low as 2 s F bushel (in lots of 100 bushels,) a large arri¬ 
val of old oats from Milwaukee having depressed the mar¬
