SHEEP
Receipts this week were 1862.
We have the satisfaction of reporting a very
decided Improvement in the sheep market this
week, as compared with our lost report We
think the average advance is fully equal to lc p
ID net, and if counted upon the sales of Monday,
which an unusually lively market day, the
average advance would be still higher, for we
notice lots of sheep that sold that day at 50 75(d
p head, which would not have sold week
previous for more than 50 or So %. On Tues
day, the trade was not quite so lively; buyers,
however, contended that the brokers were asking
prices fully equal to the day previous. We do
not wonder at the little dizziness in the trade, for
reports from Washington Market give the current
rates of mutton carcasses at about lie n ID less
than the day previous.
Very fair wholesale lots Of mutton could be
had at 4lSc, and lots counted first quality at DC,
and those called extra at &c. -s
1t may be understood that considerable por
ton Of the value Of sheep at the present time is
in the pelts We hear of sales Of lots at over 81
rs each; indeed il is probable that contracts could
be made to-day for all the pelts in market at
about 81 81 OF course the value is all in the
wool; for the skins, after being pulled, will not
average over l0c EACH
THE HOG Market
Receipts this week, IS. 200.
The following are the quotations given by
Henry d. Grant, Superintendent of the Market:
Corn-fed hogs, 35S@324c p n live weight; dis
tillers &c.
1t will be observed that the supply continues TO
increase. having exceeded the very large number
of last week 1 ,447 head and at the same time
the receipts of Gsessed hogs by all the railroads,
| and boats on the Hudson, the East river, and
| from New Jersey have been very large-enough,
we presume, to make up the total, live and dead,
| to As. 900 for the week; yet, with this enormous
stock on sale. the price has improved, and there
is better prospect to-day of clearing the yards
than we have seen as any time this past month
