Wheat seem to have been very firmly main¬ 
tained. 
The tone of the accounts from the Jdlack Sea 
ports is somewhat quieter this week. Most of 
the vessels had sailed, and the shipping season 
was considered as nearly at a close. At Odessa 
the stocks remaining in granary were estimated 
at 500,000 qrs. Wheat, 170,000 qrs. Bye, and 
95000 qrs. Indian Corn.

A sudden change in the weather operated against the 
sale of fruits and vegetables this morning, as the frost was 
too severe to expose them; there was, however, a fair sup¬ 
ply of cabbages, at the same prices quoted last week. Cel¬ 
ery is not as plentiful as it has been, and the quality of that 
which we noticed was inferior in size and higher in price 
than it has been for some weeks. The variety of vegetables 
has reached the lowest point, as this is the most inactive 
season of the year for market gardeners. 
Apples do not vary much in price. We saw some good 
looking Seek-no-furthers ; but the majority of the speci¬ 
mens of Greenings are not of first quality. Roxbury Rus¬ 
sets keep well, and this is perhaps one of the most useful 
winter apples. We see very few samples of the more choice 
varieties, and conclude that those who have them for sale 
do better by sending them to city grocery stores by engage¬ 
ment, than they could by forwarding them to Washington 
market. Higher prices nre obtained for good samples at 
Fulton market, as it is more easy of access to the consumers. 
Some good samples are to be found there during the season, 
which are doubtless worth the difference in price demanded. 
Cranberries are sold by retail from $8 to $8 50 ; the supply 
is limited at present. Some lots from Jersey City, grown 
spontaneously, are inferior to those from the New-England 
States ; there is much difference in the qualities of the va¬ 
rious samples received. 
Poultry continues at similar prices to those quoted last 
week; we saw a case of fine turkeys opened, for which 
11 cents was asked; they were well frozen. 
Eggs do not vary in price ; they are quoted at 23%c. per 
doz., wholesale, and by retail fresh country eggs are quoted 
at four for one shilling.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
January 30, 1854. 
g,TiiE state of the Cattle Market this morning was very 
similar to what it was on this day week, except that the de¬ 
mand was a little more brisk ; the weather being very cold, 
and the supply on hand nearly equal to last report, the prices 
varied very little. Some very fine lots of cattle were dis¬ 
posed of at fair remunerative prices. One lot purchased by 
Benjamin Weeks of heavy cattle did not average over 10c. 
More were sold at from 9% @10c. than at any other price. 
The lowest figure we quote is 8 cents for beef at all worth 
purchasing. Complaints are still made of the want of ac¬ 
commodation on the Rail Roads, as the dealers suffer much 
from delay. 
The following are the numbers for the week ending Jan. 
30, at the 
Washington Yards, Forty-fourth street.

places. •

Sheet. —The receipts of sheep have been a little larger 
for the past week, and prices at least no worse. A few 
choice lots have been disposed of. There are not many on 
hand to-day. Chamberlin reports the average prices at S3 
@4 50, $7 50(21$ 10, for extras; he reports a lot of 228® 
§6 75 per head from Bucks Co. ; Pa.

The sheep market has been rather dull, owiug it is sup¬ 
posed to the supply of pork and poultry. There is not any 
prospect of an advance for the present. Mutton sells in the 
carcase at Washington Market at from 5%@8% cents per 
pound, according to quality. 
Wm. Deheart furnishes a few notes of his sales: 197 
sheep @$4 75 ; 24 @$4 37%; 60 @$4 31% ; 48 ®$5 75 ; 
145 for $677 75; 120 ©$5 62% ; 64 @$5 , 34 @$4 12% 
At Browning’s McGraw & Palmer had a lot of long wool 
South-Downs, from Schoharie Co , N. Y., fed by Mr. Good¬ 
year, which were estimated @110 pounds each, held @$1G, 
The prices were from $3@$6. 
Veals. —No variation has taken place in the price of veals ; 
tlie number received dift'ers little from last week’s report. 
Wm. Deheart sold 15 coarse grass calves @$15 per head. 
Swine —The price of pork has decreased during the past 
week. The latest reports from the Western Markets show 
a little disposition to advance. The Cincinnati Gazette re¬ 
ports the prices for hogs on Wednesday, the 25th instant, at 
$4 75 @to $4 90 which is a slight advance, and at close of 
market sellers were disposed to hold them at $5. A. M. 
Allerton reports sales at 5@5^c. for 542 reported at the 
Washington Yards. Carcases at Washington Market aver¬ 
aged 6c.@6J-c. wholesale, and 7c. for single ones. Poultry 
is in good demand in lots of from 8c.@9c. per pound, and is 
retailed at 10c.@llc. The weather is favorable for all kinds 
of meat. 
Horse Market. —Few sales have been effected within 
the past week ; the number of horses on hand is not much di¬ 
minished and purchasers would fare better at this season 
than sellers. • The horse season has not yet arrived. A few 
transactions are effected from week to week, but nothing 
worth particular notice.
