spirit OF the stock Market.

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-The Commercial
saws the stock market exhibits rather
more Improvement and slight recovery
OF tone. The favorable returns from a
few Of the roads give certain degree
of countenance to this. Governments
dull but firm, excepting old sos.
which, under sale of a heavy lot, de-
clined q. The money market exhibits
extreme dullness, the consequences of
the comparative inactivity in all
branches Of business. The applications
for street loans are moderate and are
met mostly at 6 per cent, with the e&-
ception of 8, per cent. on collaterals.
There is a diminished supplyiof paper;
with less demand from buyers; strictly
prime names pass at Z per cent, good
at sag per cent, and other grades at 10a
I5,per cent. Some of the banks are em-
ploying their balances in the purchase
of compound interest notes, which their
legal tender reserves. Gold is rather
stronger apparently upon the reported
probability that the foreign loan pro-
posed in the finance bill will not be au-
ithorized by Congress. The heavy de-
cline in cotton at Liverpool has also a
tendency-to strengthen, and this price
touched 1 40. Foreign exchange shows
rather more frmness, but the rates are
not quotably higher; the leading houses
ask I077< for 60 days, but the best bills
can be bought at 1875. Cotton bills
are depressed EFsIG

Ffttsburgh cattle Market.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. S.-There has been
a light supply of cattle this week, not
exceeding one Thousand head, and of
this number about eight hundred
changed hands, the balance being left
over Tor next week or shipped East
The market, Notwithstanding the mea-
gre supply, was a dull one, the demand
being restricted almost entirely to sup
plying 1.-The wants of the retail trade,
and, as compared with last week,
prices have sill further declined. The
quality of the cattle on sale, although
up TO the usual standard, was NOS as
good rs last week. The best retailing
grades sold this week at from seven to
seven and a half cents gross--a few ex-
ira bringing seven and three-fourths
and eight cents-while, common and in
teriOr sold from six down TO four cents;
some few ttscalawags" were disposed of
at three and a-half cents The discour-
aging reports from the East for the past
few weeks are having a-depressing in-
husnce on the market, keeping Eastern
buyers away, and causing the trade
generally to operate with great caution.
HoGs-There appears TO be no de-
mand at these yards aside from the re-
tail trade, and we have not a single
round lot nperation}to record. 1nCHre-
tail way we can report sales to a fair
extent, at from 10 TO lie gross for fair
to good average. Our packers seem to
have entirely retired from the market,
and we presume there will be no more
hogs packed here this season.
SHEEP-The demand for this class OF
stock continues very light, and while
the market is dull and heavy, prices
aFenornfnaIly unchanged, ranging from
6 to exc gross, for good to prime fat
mutton Sheep. Mfr. B. Scattergood re-
ports having retailed 107 head, aYerag-
ing 96Ibs., at So 40 to 50 so. There Is
nothing doing in stock Sheep.

Boston, Feb. s.-Among the many
dispatches received by the Treasury
Department from persons having cat
tie in Canada asking permission TO
land them in the United States, was
one from an Ohio cattle dealer, who
previous to the enactment of the law
forbidding the Importation of foreign
stock, had sent 10 Canada ], 200 head of
beef cattle and 300 sheep to be fattened.
