Gold, which cloied last month (Jlay 161 .^ 131, ad- 
vanced bylhe end of May 10 1.17!<, and bv Thursday 
evening, June 16, to 147,S. Influenced by this rise, which 
lias been caused by the recent heavy exports of specie, 
llie large purchases of coin to pay duties at the Custom 
House, and consequent speculative operations in the pre- 
cious raetal-the markets for domeslic produce have 
been more active, and, though prices were irregular ear- 
ly in the month, the tendency thtough the past week was 
decidedly upward .. Flour, wheat, corn, and oats ha\e 
been in good request for home use, and for sliipment, 
closing buoyantly at advancing prices. The leceipts 
were liberal in the first half of the month, but have fallen 
off considerably during the past tenor t«elve days.... 
Provisions have been more freely purchased. New Miss 
Pork and prime Lard have been in active speculative re- 
quest, at unusually variable prices. Beef has been 
sleady. Butter has been less freely offered, and quoted 
liigher. with a good export inquiry. Large slocks of but- 
ler are known as being on hand in the interior, held back 
for advanced prices, which, if gold declines— a very 
probable event— can never be realized. Cheese has been 
plenty and depressed, in the absence of an export de- 
mand Cotton has been more abundant, and has fallen 
materially. The demand has been quite moderate 
Wool has been in vei y limited request at lower and de- 
clining prices, in the f.ace of a very moderate supply of 
the finer grades of both domestic and foreign, wliich are 
now most sought after.... Hay and Hops liave been sal- 
able and buoyant ..Seeds have been quite dull, though 
prices have receded rapidly . Tobacco has been in 
pretty fair demand at steady rates. 
I\e>v-Vorlt I>ive Sl«c-k Mai-lccts.— 
Beef Cattle have come in inr^re freely this month than 
last, and prices have declined on :rll grades of animals. 
There has been consylerable effort, among some of llie 
drovers. 10 keep prices up. but wilhout succe>8, and as 
vesetabies and some kinds of fruits are now plentiful, 
anything like a decided advance is not to be expecled. 
Tl'ie beef cattle coming in are irlmost entirely from the 
West, and generally of good, fair qiialily. Tire average 
for the four weeks ending June 13th. is 4.967 head. The 
latest prices are about as follows: Goorl to prime bul- 
locks. 16c?£17c. per lb., estimated dressed weight; com- 
mon to fair, HcSlSc. and poor V2c(ii<\3c. The quota- 
tions are very nearly ihe same as reported for the corre- 
sponding period last year. 
ITliloIi i^o'ws. — Receipts have averntretl week- 
ly 121. The demanil Is lillle betler, and prices range 
from $40 to $70 each for jioor to good milkers. 
Teal Calve?>. — Tlie receipts of veals for the 
past four weeks have been very heavy, averaging 3,656. 
Prices lange at 5cfa)9c. and 10c. per lb., live weight for 
poor to very good. 
Slieep. — There has heeii a considerable panic 
in the sticep trade, and a decided decline in prices, since 
our last report, owing to the laige weekly arrivals. The 
sales range at prices about 3c. per lb. live vveight, lower, 
or 6'^c^"7Mc per lb. live weight for common to good 
grades. The receipts have averaged 13.056 weekly. 
IjiTc Hofi'S are comins: in very freely, especi- 
ally for this season of the yeai^ averaging 13,775 weekly. 
Prices range from 9.Vc. to U\}^c. per lb. live weight.
