PrRicEs.—The prices of farm stock are better sustained than the rates 
obtained for other products of the farm. Horses command improved 
prices in nearly all sections of the country. Sheep are somewhat higher 
than last year, the appreciation being quite general, though not equal 
in the different sections. Cattle have advanced in some States, from 
local causes, and receded in others, milch cows generally advancing in 
the South and declining slightly in the North, while other cattle have 
advanced in some sections, particularly in the States north of the Ohio: 
River. Swine are held at higher rates in the Eastern States, though 
prices elsewhere have generally declined. 
An increase is shown in the prices of horses of all grades in New Eng- 
land, in New York, and Pennsylvania, in the cotton States, and in those: 
of the Pacific coast. The comparison in New York is as follows: 
Over 
1 year. 2 years. 3 years. 3 years.

In New Jersey prices have uniformly been quoted higher than in any 
other State, and while they are still relatively high, the rates of last 
year are not fully sustained. A small decline also appears in Delaware 
and Maryland. A slight advance appears in Virginia, and in horses of 
full age in North Carolina. The rate for horses of three years and up- 
ward in Georgia has advanced from $113.29 to $123; in Mississippi,. 
from $110 to $111.21; andin Texas the comparison is as follows:
