Good cattle were scarce, but there wer pleuty of poor ones that were uot wanted, and, xntm% high, holders were compelled to sacriflce carry over. We note a few transactioaa. Ji, O.

H. CATTLE. The yards were full but not mor than one in teu could be selectected as choice snippers, and consequently there were no Easteru buyen in the market, or at least 80 very few that thejr were scarcely noticeable. One serious injury to the market and to feeders and farmers geurelly is the amount of poor eattle thrown upon Um market every week at prices beyond what anj careful, experienced bayer can afford to paj, and the result is not only a loss to themsehei but to every class of geiler in the market, aad when these gentlemen return to the couutry they fail to offer, perhaps, what stock may really be worth, thus working an injury to tb farmer as well as the general market. Careful buyars generally pay all eattle are worth and no more, and if there were more more of theoi in the State the market would not be subject to so many demoralizing influences. Quotations to-day range as follows : Choice beeves, shipping stoere and heifers, weighiug from 1,200 to 1,500 lbs. $4 50 a ó 00 Good butchers' steers and heifers, averagiug 1,000 to 1,100 lbs., 3 75 1 4 25 Working eattle, well fattened.averaging 1,000 to 1,500 lbs., 4 00 a 4 2Í Cows, commou to choice, 3 7f 4 M Stockers' and packers' medium steers, and heifers, in decent flesh, 800 to 1,000 lbs., 2 50 a 3 7 6HEEP.
