Sold advanced dtirin? the past month to 146)^, influ- 
enced by iinfiivorahlc finanri-d and romrneicial advices 
from Kuvope. anil ilie consequent heavy exports of specie 
from this pori. The demund lias sinee fallen off, and the 
]>nce has receded tolSOii'... Business in ProLliire and 
i\Ierrh.in<ii*o lias been on a more e.xtrnsivc scale, and 
prices of mo^t arlicles have been quoied higher, though 
irregular. .. Ureudstuffs liave been in belter rcqnesl, 
openin:; at rising prices, hut closing generally in favor of 
purchasers. Flour leaves off quite heavily, under more 
liberal receipts, rrline Wheat Is scarce and lieM firmly^ 
Inferior and common qualities are very quiet and much 
denresseU. There has been increased activity in Com, 
wiih fiee purchases for pxpoil,— ihe inririiet closing with 
n downward lendeney. under hirse arrivals from the in- 
lerior. Rye and Oiit« have imnroved materially, the in- 
quiry having beenquile brisk f<>i- desirable lots Pro- 
visions have been in good requcsl, partly on specuhition, 
hut prices have been uuseilled. Pork. Lard, and Beef, 
closed pretty firmly. Butter leaves off decidedly heavy, 
under extensive receipts and a strung pressure to realise. 
Cheese is dull and droo[>ing . .. Colton has been more ac- 
tive an I has rallied in price, closing briskly and in 
favor of .«e!levs. The available supply now here is 
esliraaled at 100,003 bales; and at all tlie shipping ports 
of the country, at 331, COO bales Woitl has been in 
somewhat better reque.'-t and firmer in price, but it closes 
le5.'= huoyanily Hay. Hops, and Tobacco, have been in 
fair denian'l at uniform rales. 
rVo^v Voi-lt E-ivc Stocic ^tavlfcts*— 
Beef Cattle.— The supply for a monlh past has been 
fully an average one. af;rr allowing (nv a natural increase 
over the previous year, but prices have heeu fully sus- 
tained and advanced a iitile l;isl week. This is due to 
pool wpather, which has greally diminished the biking ol 
fish, and kept back spring vegetables and str.i\\beriies, 
both of which eircuinst.inres have ineieased tlie con- 
sumption of beef, the staple meal thi« year. The scatter- 
ing of the .<^ales from the main yards at 41ih street, to 
Bergen and otlier points, enables dealers to obtain belter 
prices, as buyers w ho nnty visit one uiarkcl place and see 
fewer cattle there, net upon the impression each week 
that there is a very limited supply. Most of the increase 
in price has inure.l lo the benefit of the speculating 
brokers who manage the markets after they have bought 
np the droves on the way here. The most recent .«ales 
of cattle have been at prices equivalent lo IG'aC.'J^KJ^c. 
per lb. dressed weight for good to first qu;dity cattle ; 
I'ljC.'o^lSc. for extras: 15c.f^lGc for medium grades; 
and \Zc.fn)Hc. for poor IflilcU Cows.— Receipts 
for the mtmth moderate, and demand not large. Prices 
continue very high, as compare! with fanner years. 
Small, ihin cows, pivlng 8 to 10 qunrts a d;iy on pood 
feeil..*^ell at $fi5,'rt)575 each, including the caif. which is 
always required by buyers to insure fre-hness of milk. 
The calves are worth about $10 each, on Ihe average, 
making the rows cost the purchasers S5.ifn)fG5. Cows 
giving n to 1.1 quarls per day bring $70 to $S0 with the 
calves; those giving 14 tn IG quarts, $S5 to $00. Extra 
cov\s. promising a continuance of over IG qnnrts of good 
milk per day, run upward of S90. according to fancy, 
looks, elc— thougli very few of this class ni-e met with. 
Those giving below 7 to 9 quarts are not worth brinsing 
here, as they go for all sorts of prices, from $60 down to 
$40. and are woi III more to dry off, feed up a little, and 
sell for cheap beef ...Veal Calves.— The supply fair, 
runninir from 2000 to 1600 a week. Poor calves are at a 
discoimt, and nnt woith sending hero. Good heavy 
calves, of fair age. have improvel in value, extras bring- 
ing 12^20. ©14c. per lb. live weight; good, llc./a)15c. ; 
common, 9c.rti)10c., au'I poorer, ')^c.<7i)Sy-c.. llmugh few 
not v\orih over 8c. can be sold. ..Sheep and Lambs. 
—Receipts 14.000 lo 18,000 per week. Prices of sheep 
have l)een much ilepresseil. but are rather better asain. 
Good lots have recenily sold at 7}^c..'a)T?XP- Pff i"^- live

spring lambs are not very abundant ■, prices, lie. to 14c,

Hog!*, — Receipts very large fur the season, or 12.000 to 
16.000 per week ; but cool weather, and a prospect of a 
war demand for packed pork in Europe, have kept up 
prices well. Fair lo very good sell at 10c. lo lOJic. per
