New York Cattle Market.


BEEVES-The total supply for the
week was 1882 against 6, l25 last week,
E, 1873 for the same week last year, and
1874 for the corresponding week i'll 1864.
The demand has been comparatively
light, and the market inactive through
ont the week; but the decrease in re-
ceipts-1, JAG head-and the improve
mcnt in the weather since Thursday,
have enabled sellers to get n shade bet
ter prices for medium to choice cattle,
and we make the average dc. per III, or
&c. better than last week.
To-day, with $500 beevcs on sale at
the National Drove YardS-a falling of
of 500 head compared with last Mon
DAYS supply-tho market opened with
considerable frmness OH the part of the
selling interest, and for all good to
choice cattle an advance of &c. per Id.
was demanded. But it was soon dlscoV-
cred that butchers would not cOncede to
this demand without Il struggle; and
fearing that to hold until noon or later
would bc to lose the sale of number of
cattle. commission men yielded, and the
market gradually fell to about the same
figures reported on Monday last, al
though the general opinion is that most
of the cattle sold at prices &c. per h.
better for owners than one week ago
The range for ordinary to choice being
l3al7c., with only a very few selling for
more than 16c. The average of quality
is better than last week, and the market
closes with a firmer feeling.
SHEEP-Thereccip aggregated, lis
l,,,I D'hD lnGt week 81 DtE
for the same week last year, and 1920
for the corresponding week in 1864. The
market has been without any material
change since Thursday-indecd, except
some little change in the demand, there
has been no material alteration since
Monday. Sales have dragged, and prices
have favored The buyer all the week.
To-day there has been nearly 1000 sheep
on sale-2, 900 at Browning's, and 400
at other markets-and the demand has
been weak Mt from 5a6!c per lb. for
Sheep. and 7a7ic for Lambs. Selected
lots of heavy Sheep are sold at 6Fa1c.
At Browning's 5. McGraw sold 81
head at an average of s. Of per head;
and X. II. Hume sold 4,557 head at an
average of - 43 per head.
! At Chambcrlin's were sold 1903 head
4 at from IS 30 to 81 per head.
| At Hudson City 1892 head were sold
at from DC to &c per lb.-Judd & Buck
ingham selling l.7s2 head at an average
of s. Us per head.
Mich COWS.-Thc receipts and
sales for the week have been so small
that prices ought to be reported as
nOminally unchanged, although sellers
claim that for the few sold better prices
were obtained than for the same quail
ity last week.
CALVES.-No change whatever can
be seen in the market for Veals. Prime
Calves are selling at BE per h., and
medium to good at llial2ic. Grass
Calves are very dull.
SWINE.-The market for Hogs has
been very dull throughout the week, es-
pccially since Wednesday, and prices
have been falling every day, being &c
per III. lower today than Oh Saturday.
Commission men quote best quality,
6ta7c; fair TO good, 6iaG5; common and
rough, 6!a6fc. Even at these prices
packers show no disposition to operate.
About 5000 were on the market to-day.

There are some circumstances con-
nected with Madden's attempt last
night to set fire to the Jail which indi-
cate that the prisoners have confeder-
ates outside. The vessel which Madden
had filled with live Goals was not one OF
the Jail drinking cups, as previously
telegraphed, but tin box, with cover.
which could not possibly have been in
possession of the prisoner when admit
ted to Jail, as they all underwent a
minute search. 1t is certain that 1t
must have been conveyed to them in
Jail.
Another circumstance also indicates
outside confederates. On Monday at
ternoon a person residing in the dis
trict was discovered in the Jail yard
conversing with the prisoners. The po-
lice allowed him to escape, but he Is
known. Guards are now posted at ev-
cry point outside where it would be
possible to hold communication with
the prisoners. Madden is to be kept in
his cell for forty hours on bread and
water, to allow him leisure to mediate
the failure ofhis incendiary. scheme.

New York Dry Goods Market.

NEW YORK. Dec. D.
Dry goods market quiet and steady,
with a fair trade. The meeting of Con-
rress and the Presidents message were
entirely without effect upon the mar
ket. With the lower price of cotton,
dry goods must naturally suffer little,
but holders are too confident TO leave
any prospect for any further decline
than the define in the raw material,
and the actual cost of production is re-
duced. The margin of profit OH the
manufacture of cotton goods is report
ed rs great enough to warrant the mills
running on reduced time. Some mills
are reporting reduced wages, as pre-
ferable to stopping, and throwing num-
hers of poor people out of employment.
Brown sheetings and shirtings are
quiet, with the exceptions Of standard
and other leading prime marks, which
are lc higher, in iobbers' hands. Bleach
ed Sbeetings and Shirtings-There is a
light, steady business. Prints-wlthout
any quotable change. Trade quiet ana
uniform in ticks, but stripes without
sales of particular moment. Little or
no demand for cotton flannels. Cam
brics-There is steady demand from
home dealers. Drills quiet and
prices lower. The price of Denims aud
cottonades have been reduced little
to correspond with the price of other
goods. Wooden goods unprecedented !;
the mild weather of the entire season
largely affected business i'll WOODEN
goods. The short time of some mills
and the stopping of others is somewhat
favorable to better market, and hold
ers of goods show an easier feeling. De
LANES and Linseys in only moderate
supply, but sufficient for the present.
There is but light trade in cloth and
cassimeres, and but few goods are called
for excepting leading styles for imme-
diate manufacture into clothing, or
some grades for ready made cloth
ing for the spring trade. The mar
ket for foreign goods shows slight im-
provement for lighter importations, and
a rather more prevailing demand con-
sequent upon lower prices. Fashiona-
bic styles of goods steady and no. very
abundant. The market for most other
goods very low. The auction sales for
tomorrow are special sale of British,
French and German dress goods, silk
shaWlS, &c.
