N. Y. ILive Stock Markets.— The Cattle 
Markets have been even more abundantly supplied than 
during the previous month. The city receipts for five 
markets past have been 23,922 bullocks, or a weekly aver¬ 
age of 4,784. Prices have gradually declined, and just 
now—the week after Thanksgiving—beef is excessively 
cheap, and large numbers were left unsold Nov. 24, when 
they ranged at 9e.®9ic. for prime ; 7fc.®8c. for medium ; 
6jc.®7c for poor; and for scalla wags—which were plen¬ 
ty—from 6e..®4Jc. down'to nothing. Average of all sales 
about 7c. per lb. for the estimated dressed weight. 
Sheep and Lambs.—R eceipts have been lighter during 
the past month. They number 57.643—more than suffi¬ 
cient for the requirements of the market with the present 
abundance of dead mutton now coming in. Prices are de¬ 
pressed, good sheep bringing but 3jc.®4c. live weight. 
Hogs.—A rrivals very heavy—93,275 during five weeks. 
Prices advanced the first of the month, but the recent 
large receipts crowd them down again. They are now 
worth 5c.®5fc. for heavy corn hogs, and 51c. for prime. 
Several thousand were left unsold on Wednesday, No¬ 
vember 24. 
TI»e Wcatlter during the past four weeks, though 
somewhat, rainy, has been rather pleasant on the whole, 
with but 1 it tie severe freezing, and no snow iu this vi¬

selected matter in every department of Christian Literature; 
making a delightful Sabbath companion, and furnishing a vol- 
umne of interesting and instructive reading every week The 
best and most accomplished Clergymen, Presidents and Profes¬ 
sors in our Colleges and Seminaries, constantly contribute to its

tians who wish to know what is doing m other communions 
than their own. 
One grand object of the New York Observer is to promote

bugs, fanaticism, and every scueme ui .©fidelity, socialism and 
vice, the New - York Orserver designs to be a safeguard of 
virtue, law and order, a champion of truth and righteousness 
in the earth.

and fifty cents , in advance. Two families uniting in taking it, as 
many do, will each get a complete newspaper for $1 25 1 !!
