deni'PSsed. There has been increased activity in Corn, 
with free puroha.ses for export,—the market closing with 
ti downwtird lendeney, umler large arrivals from the in¬ 
terior. Rye and Oats liave improved materially, the in¬ 
quiry having been qtiile brisk for desirable lots_Pro¬ 
visions htive been in good rt-quesi, pa tly on spectiltdinn, 
hut prices lia've been unsettled. Pork. Lard, and Beef, 
clo.sed pretty firody. Butter leaves off decidedly lieavy, 
under extensive receipts tind a strong pressure to realise. 
Clieese is doll and drooping . .. Cotton h.is been more ac¬ 
tive an I has rallied in price, closing briskly and in 
favor of.se'lers. The available suopiy now be-e is 
esiimated at 100,001 bales ; and at all the shipping ports 
of Ihe connlry, at 831.’00 bales.... AAbrol has been in 
sonieuhat better reqne-t and firmer in price, but it closes 
lets huoyaiilly—Hay. Hops, and Tobacco, have been in 
fair demand at uniform rales. 
Toj-lc H.l-s'c Stsirlif'tts.— 
Beef Cattle.—Tlie supply for a montli pa.^t has been 
fully an averageoue. :if:ef tillowing fora natural increase 
over tlie previous year. 1ml prices liave lieen fully sus¬ 
tained and ndvanced a lilile last week. Tliis i.s due to 
cool vveather, wliieli lias greatly diminished the taking of 
fi.sh. and kept back spring -Vegeiabies and .sir iv\berries* 
both of which circuinsianee.s have increased the con¬ 
sumption of beef, Ihe staple meal tins ye.ir. The seatter- 
ingof the sales from the main yards at 4 lih street, to 
Bergen and otlier points, enables dealers to obtain belter 
prices, as biiyer.s who only visit one inarkci plrn-e and see 
fewer catile there, act noon the impression each week 
that tlier'e is a very limited .supply. Most of tlie increase 
in price has Innie l to tlie benefit of Ihe speculating 
brokers lA’bo rnantige llie markets after they have bought 
up the droves on the wav here. The most recent sales 
of cattle liave lieen at prices equivalent to IG' .c.'SKJ^c. 
per lb. ilressed vveiglil for good to first qoalilv cattle ; 
17'^c.’5)18c. for extras: 15c.®'''c. for inedinm grades; 
and 13c.(tiH4c. for Poor_ MilcH Cews.—Receipts 
for the montli moderate, and demand not large. Prices 
continue veiy high, as compare 1 with fonnei’ years. 
Small, thin cows, giving 8 to 10 quarts a day on good 
feed sell at f fi5®$73 each, iiiclnding ihe ca'f. which is 
always required by buyers to insure fre-hness of milk. 
The calves tire worth about $10 each, on the average, 
making the cows cost the purchasers $53((i)$C.'i. Cows 
giving 11 to 13 quarts per day bring $70 to $80 witli the 
calves; those giving 14 In 10 quarts, $83 to $90. Extra 
cows, promising a coniinuanoe of over 16 quarts of good 
milk per day, I’Uii upwtii'd of $P0, according to fancy, 
looks, elc.—thongli very few of Ibis class are met v\ith. 
Tho.se giving below 7 to 0 quarts are not worth bringing 
liere, as they go for all sorts of prices, from $60 down to 
$40, and are worth more lo dry off, feed up a little, and 
sell for cheap lieef ..'Vca.l Caltre.*-.—Tlie supply fair, 
running from 2000 lo 1610 a week. Poor calves are at a 
discount, and not worth scnduig here. Good heavy 
calves, of fair age, have improve I iu value, extras bring¬
