UeevoM, With 11 slight fulling 
there Isa decidedly firm tone to tho market, arid an 
of Me. ft ft. was established on Wednesday, 
oontinnos. This, however, was after a like 
advance 
and still... 
decline un Mouday, so tti n tho market, really stands 
where It did one week ago to-day. Tho bulk of the 
week’s transactions were MO, below present, rates. 
It Is not otten that we have so great 11 decline and 
udvnncu In a iriqle week Already thorn Is a Time 
shadowing nt 1 lie Improved demand which always 
occurs as libnt closes, hutabors wishing to be sup¬ 
plied with a good stock of beet a Jit.tle. in advance; 
lieiico they begin to buy more frcolv. even now. 
The close of the murket la very Strong, with every¬ 
thing well cleaned up. On Monday last 2,753 cuttle 
were On sale, mostly at Oominuuipuw, and trade was 
quite slow, prlo.es being lower. Tins quality of tho 
cattle wu» not good, and on this account, they 
dragged tho more. r l‘he day was very nnfuvorablu 
for business. There was a decidedly hotter fooling 
on the following Wednesday, iind the 4,1*3 bead ,*i- 
fured were all taken ut fall rates, the quality Milling 
the bn tubers. The same llrm tono was manttc-ted 
on Friday when J,03s head wore early disposed of at, 
a range of l3fA|7 [ ;c. >< ft, the bulk Ot the good fair

stags, with some hard aid dry cows, 1 •, cwt., average, 
brought $55 each. Another drove or 120 only me¬

Venl Calves.—It will bo noticed that the receipts

steady Increase for some weeks to come. Dressed

dutun, age, more than size, governing in their selec¬ 
tion. Thu Inspectors are old butchers, hence they 
judge very correctly. There is a good Inquiry for fat 
live calves. 
Sheep.— With l,H()0 loss sheep than wore on sale

complain that Utoy pay fur many un undropimd 
lamb when they buy a, lot of owes. A very lew 
spring lambs were sent In for St. Patrick’s day and 
brought high prices, 
Mwinn. Hogs have had their ups and downs. The 
market closed r.lrong one week ago al, li ke, for the 
best. They then run up to 12c.; but coming forward 
faster than was anticipated, prices gave way until 
they uro only worth IlMAtllMO. tu 11 slow market.
