Gold closed last month (June 20) 139K, and on the 16th 
Inst., 143%. General business has exhibited much more 
animation since our last, especially in the line of domes¬ 
tic produce, receipts, and sales of the leading kinds of 
which have been quite extensive, but at reduced and 
irregular prices. Bre.adstufTs have been more freely 
purchased for home use and export. Receivers have 
met the foreign demand readily from day to day. Early 
in the month the course of prices was downward. 
Within the past week or ten days, the arrivals from the 
interior h.ave been comparatively moderate. Holders 
have been less eager to sell, and prices have rallied con¬ 
siderably. During the past day or two the export 
inquiry has fallen oif again, and the market closes tamely 
and heavily for flour, wheat, and corn. In the provision 
line, the main business has been transacted by specula¬ 
tive operators, and prices have rapidly advanced for hog 
products, which have attracted most attention.In 
Cotton there has been greatly increased activity both in 
receipts and sales, and prices have improved moder¬ 
ately, closing, however, in favor of purchasers.Wool 
has been in much better request, and within a week or 
or two has risen 3c to 5c per lb., closing buoyantly. No 
considerable receipts or sales of the new clip have been 
reported. Manufacturers complain that they are unable 
to pay the rates asked by holders in the interior, in view 
of the prevailing prices for woolen goods. Hay has been 
more abundant and in moderate request, closing at 90cfa) 
$1.10 for old North River bale, and C8c®75c for new 
crop, per 100 Its. Hops have been more sought after, 
mainly for export, at irregular quotations. Seeds have 
been quiet and depressed. Tobacco has been in good 
demand, partly for export, at, however, reduced prices.

r^'e'W-Yorllc IAtc Stock Markets.— 
Beep Cattle.— The average weekly receipts of beef 
cattle for Ihe four weeks ending July 18, is 5146, against 
4867 for the previous month. The receipts have been 
pretty uniform, and prices, though though tliey have been 
considerably lower, at tlie date of our report are little 
changed. Good to prime fat bullocks, sell at lOcfSlTc 
per lb., for the esiimated dressed weight; common to 
fair, 14c®15c, and poor to medium 12c(a)13c. The gov¬ 
ernment are still supplied with about 50 head weekly. 
Milcli Cow.s. —The average weekly receipts 
are 98. There is little activity in the trade and prices 
range from $40®$60 each for poor to good milkers. 
Fancy cows sell much higher. 
Veal Calves. —The aver.age weekly arrivals 
of veals since our last report is 2113, compared with 3656 
for the previous four weeks. Prices range at 7c®llc 
per lb., live weight for poor to good qualities.

supplied with sheep, for some weeks past, and prices are 
lower, good sheep selling at 6c®6%c per lb., live weight. 
Lambs are not plenty, and prices are still high. Fair to 
good lambs selling at $5®$7 per head.

port 10,581. Prices have ranged comparatively low, 
until this week, and as there is a scarcity, rates have ad¬ 
vanced to 12c®12%c per lb., live weight. A full supply 
would again bring them down to our previous figures.
