The February report Of the Depart
nient Of Agriculture en- De- tie follow
ing relative to the numbers aud prices
Of farm stock
Horses have increased slightly in
most Of the western and southern
States, but very little in The middle
and EASTERN ot enough 10 keep pace
with the increase Of population in the
Atlantic sea-bound States. N,braska,
Kansas, Nj ln, Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and the Ia life coast States
exhibit the largest increase. That the
numbers are not equal to the demand
is shown by the general though small
adya ice in prices.
The increase Of mules is a so slow in
comparison with the rapid aggregation
Of population, and the range Of prices
app ars to higher than last year.
The returns OF oxen and cattle point
to positive decrease in New Jersey,
Maryland, North Carolina, Florida,
Texas, Kentucky, Ohio Indiana, Hi
nos, the dlminution amounting to five
per cent. in the latter State. In mich
cows reduction u reported in Texas,
Ohio and Illinois, and some of the
southern States. A general increase
il prices Of cattle is reported.
The reduction in the number of
sheep appears to be general, the only
exceptions being Rhode Island, Tonnes
see, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas and
the Pacific States.A The loss cannot be
much less than 10 per cent. In some
States it is placed at Is or morc. The
prices of sheep have declined slightly
IN ceataIn sections and advanced in
others. In Connecticut and New Jer-
sey. where unusual attention has been
given to mutton breeds, prices have
b7en fully maintained. In districts
where the Merino stock monopolizes
the sheep-walks, the dealine is general
and in some sections heavy.
The returns OF swine corroborate
those OF last fall showing the compare
tive numbers of fattening hogs, and
mark yerp decided reduction in mum
bers. amounting to Is per cent. in a
large portion Of the Ohio valley. The
prices are largely increased in many
States-25 or 80 rer cent, rid not IN
frequently so or 60 per cent. An in
spection Of tie tables will show n mark

duction in numbers, but of speculation

SUGAR. The New York Shipping List,
in referring to the sugar market, and
the effect of the war III Cuba, sag:
"As Caba furnishes about one-third
Of the whole sugar product of the world,
the Disturbances there interrupting la
Dor, diminishing production, and EN-
barrassing trade, must have very i'm
portant bearing upon values, perhaps
for years 10 come, whichever party may
be successful III the strife now going
forward in that island, as slavery will
doubtless be abolished in either case,
and the labor market pass through the
same ordeal lately experienced in orr
country. II is, however, an inexorable
law Of trade, that while high prices re-
duce consumption, they almost inyaria-
bly, draw out supplies, sometimes from
unexpected quarters, and this is illus
trated b. the late large advance in su-
gar. We learn that large contracts
have been made since our last by cable,
in England, for the shipment Of raw
sugar to this market from the British
West India Islands Stocks in Europe
are large and prices Of cane sugar af-
fected unfayorably liy the immense pro.
duction Of the beet root 1t may be
observed here that while France is
mostly supplied BY the product Of the
teei, the United States aid Great Brit
ain consume about one.half OF all the
other products Of the world. Stocks
here are larger than last year, but all
the neight.oring markets have very light
supplies"

MARRYING IN FITS, But NEEDED ~

At party last week, at one --s,
