New Fork Cuttle Market.

S There was a little more animation in the beet-cattle market on \Y T ednesdav, and a i very slight advance of price, equal’ to about a quarter of a cent** pound for the beef, i scarcely any selling, however, at prices more than equivalent to nine cents a pound for the meat, while much ol the largest portion ot the cattle sold for eight and eight and a hal cents net for the weight of the meat in the lour quarters; the rate here being different Irom that which prevails at Boston, where the estimate includes hide and fat. T lie supply on Wednesday of two thousand seven hundred bullocks was ample for the demand at this season, when such large numbers of the customers of first-class butchers are in the country. The owners of cattle bought at the West at three and , i a half and four cents a pound, live weight, . complain of present selling prices, but acknowledge that prospects of the future are not encoroughihg enough to tempt them to hold their stock out of market.— New York Tribune, Bth inst.
