we were constrained to desist. All trial friends who subscribe 
for our next volume, will have their names printed on the

THE CATTLE MARKETS 
ALBAN V, DBi:. 9. —Bkkvks—T ho receipts are unusually light 
—about 700 less than last week, and the deficiency is even 
greater when weight ia taken into consideration, owing to the 
comparatively large number of " hoppers" on sale. Neverthe- 
le*» the trade is dull. The average quality of tho cattle is 
quite low, owing to tho number of two year olds In the yards, 
but this is somewhat to the advantage of holders of prime and 
extra steers, those grades commanding from >,'c to )£e \:1 lb-,
