CATTLE, HOGS AND SHEEP-Thesup.
ply of Beef Cattle has been quite light dur.
ing the week, and not equal to the demand
and prices advanced fully 25c. per Genital
The sales during the week comprise $50
head. We now quote common at 81 SOFA
%, fair S2@2 25, good so 5O@2 Is, and
Prime, S3g3 70 closing very firm. Sheep
have been in light supply, not nearly equal
to the demand, and prices are higher, closing
at $2(93 80 each, according to quality. Hogs
arrived very sparingly during the week, and
this, with an improved demand for Mess
Pork, produced a very firm market, and
prices, in the fore part of the week advanced
to SO 5000 65 and at one time heavy Hogs
were held at So 70; but on Monday after
noon the market assumed a heavy aspect
again, and prices downward tendency, and
at the close last evening there were few
willing to pay over S. 25. The receipts,
which had been unusually light during the
greater portion of the week, increased at the
close, and, Judging from the large number
of dealers in market anxious to sell for fu-
ture delivery, we should think that the re-
cepts will be large during the coming ten
days. So far this year the receipts are be-
hind those of most previous years.
CHEESE-The demand continues quite
limited, and the market dull, with an accu-
mulating stock. The export demand is very
light, chiefly owing TO the great depression
IN business in the Southern markets. The
sales during the week comprise 8, 700 boxes.
Prices are unchanged, and we continue to
quote Western Reserve at &c.; Hamburg
9}9c.; and English Dairy lOHc.
COFFEE-The large decline in the prices
Of this article which has been established in
New Orleans, during the week, bas had a
depressing influence on our market as well
as the decline in the Eastern markets, and
prices are considerably lower. The demand
has been fair, however, in the regular way,
and the sales add up 900 bags, closing at
l212(9l3Ac. for common TO prime Rio. The
market is but moderate. --
COAL-The market is unchanged and
dull; the supply continues ample at the river,
aside from the unusually large stocks in the

bushel, delivered to consumers.
