Influenced by the recent decisive successes of the 
national arms in Virginia and elsewhere, gold receded 
from 157, at the date of our last, to 143^, rallying since 
only to 146^13147. With the fall in gold, prices of all 
kinds of produce and merchandise declined materially, 
especially those of flour, grain, provisions, wool, and 
cotton. At the reduced figures, a light business has 
been transacted, buyers having been quite reluctant to 
purchase freely, as they have been anticipating further 
concessions from holders. The receipts of produce 
have been moderate, but receivers have been eager sel¬ 
lers. The available supplies of the leading articles here 
are not heavy, but are in excess of the pressing wants of 
purchasers. Within the past week there has been a par¬ 
tial suspension of all commerci.al operations, in honor of 
the memory of our lamented President; and the markets 
have been generally very dull and heavy, particularly for 
flour and grain,—holders of which have been anxious to 
realize, apprehending still more serious depression on 
the resumption of canal and river navigation, and the 
impending capitulation of all the organized forces of the 
rebels, which will virtually close the war for the restora¬ 
tion of the Union and the vindication of the national 
authority. The canals of this Stale will be opened for 
the season by about the 15th of May, and will greatly 
facilitate the transportation of supplies of all kinds of 
produce to markets on the sea-board.

NeW"YorIc Live Stoclc Markets.— 
Beef Cattle.— The average supply of animals for the 
month past is much lighter than during the previous one. 
The receipts average 4,071 head weekly. The cattle 
have come in very irregularly, on account of the damage 
done to railroads by the destructive freshets. The 
scarcity of cattle caused prices again to reach the high 
figures of last winter, but they have now receded by the 
retralaiity of arrivals, and at the last market were about 
as follows: First quality, 22c.(a)24e, per ft., dressed 
weight; good, 19c.®21c.; fair, 17c.(®19c. ; and poor to 
common, 14c.ta)16o. 
ITIilcli Cows.—The weekly average of cows for the 
past month is 163. The demand is light, and prices have 
declined considerably. Rates range from $75®$80 each 
for good milkers, and down to $40 for poor. 
Veal Calves are coming in much more freely this 
month than last. The average weekly receipts are 1,907, 
compared with 610, the average weekly arrivals for the 
previous four weeks. Prices range from 10c. to 13Xc., 
per lb., live weight, according to quality. 
Slieep come in much less freely than last month. 
The number of shorn sheep are increasing each w'eek. 
Prices (for unshorn) .are about Ic. per lb., live weight, 
below last month. Good sheep sell at 12>^c.®13c., per 
lb. ; fair, at Ul^c.®12c. ; and common, 10c.®llc. 
Idive Hogs are still in small supply, the average 
weekly receipts being only 3,764, hardly enough to supply 
the regular city demand. Prices range from llMc. to 13c., 
per lb., live weight, for fair to good. 
---- 
Xl»e N. Y. Xribsane, Herald, and 
Day-Hook.—A few have protested against our adver¬ 
tising these papers,—some objecting to one and approv¬ 
ing another. We suppose the Tribune and Herald too 
well known to need our special endorsement, or-reproba¬ 
tion. The TriiMiie, while professedly a newspaper, tries 
also to lead public opinion, to bring others to adopt the 
views which its editors believe to be right. The Herald, 
professedly guided by no high moral principle, floats 
upon the ever-changing current of popular impulses, 
and is mainly a nries-paper. As for the “Day-Book,” 
we remember too well its articles abusing and misrepre¬ 
senting the North—which greatly aided to stir up bitter¬ 
ness and rebellion at the South—to willingly give it any 
space even in our advertising columns. The advertise¬ 
ment recently admitted was inserted by an assistant, who 
did not fully know the character of the paper. 
Advertisements, to be sure of insertion, must be re¬ 
ceived BEFORE the lOth of the preceding month. 
N* B.—iVo Advertisement of Patent Medicines or secret 
remedies desired. Parties unknowii to the Editors personal' 
Ixj or by reputation, are requested to furnish good references. 
We desire to be sure that advertisers will do what they prom’ 
ise to do. By living up to these requirements, we aim to 
make the advertising pages valuable not only to the readers, 
but to the advertisers themselves, 
TERMS— (cash before insertion):

previous to the year 1860. 
The “Sd Quality” he intends shall equal In respect to Du¬ 
rability. Elasticity, and Good Writing Qualities (the only 
true considerations) any Gold Pena made elsewhere. 
In regard to the Cheap Gold Pens, he begs leave to say that 
previous to operating his New and Patented Machines, he 
could not have made as Good Writing and durable Pens, for 
the price, had the Gold been furnished gratuitously. 
Parties ordering must in all instances spccity the “ Name" 
or the "Number” and “ Quality " of the Pens wmnted, and 
be particular to describe the kind they prefer—whether stiff 
or limber, coarse or fine. 
All remittances sent by mall in registered letters are at my 
risk ; and to all who send twenty-cents (charge for register¬ 
ing), In addition the price of goods ordered, I will guaranty
