hailed as aii Improvement, wo can give the market a 
tinge of bettered Condition, which, In comparison 
with tile late shuttered state, tends to Infuse almost 
a real fouling of confidence among sellers. The re¬ 
cent range, .it prices do not admit of any favorable 
revision, l)ut tlie point gained Isa steadier acceptance 
of the low ruling figures, which nearer equally dis¬ 
tributes the Increased consumptive demand that has 
sprung up. Buyers now have access to the entire 
stock at a sett led solo of figures ; whereas, during 
the previous fortnight, they liuvn been excluded 
from handling certain good to fine lines through the 
unwise holding of them above prices that would al- 
low a release through the retail channel. Thu pur- 
chaser would then discovei the intimidated seller 
and confine his operations to him a lone, and by tinting 
one lot with another, lias Obtained » cheap average. 
In r.orielu.slnn, we mav say time tliora i* a good de¬ 
mand for nil table grades, with nobody scared, but 
every one perfectly resigned. An Important falling

llrrvrs,-We will first note an Important change 
in tnc time of holding the Otic Hundredth street 
market, in view of the fact that batchers want 
more cattle on Monday than at any other time, the 
proprietors of the One Hundredth street, yards an¬ 
nounce that on and after the 2at.h Inst, the principal 
sales day ut those yards will bo cm Monday. Dealers 
will thnretore be governed accordingly. It will tend 
to confuse hatchers, as there will be three markets 
that day, wide apart.
