Shipments to this market still continúes to be of a local nature, extending to nearly all the interior points reached by our State railroads. On Monday last a number of cars loaded with cattle from the Chicago market were receired, lolding out prospecta of a rene wal of Western trade, but no more arrivals occurred, such as did arrive being a fine class of hogs for our packing houses.

There was a good feeling throughout the market of Saturday and Sunday, with a marked improvement in the manner of transacting business.
