LIVE STOCK MARKETS. 
New York. Dec. 29, laffs. 
A< n.NG upon the presumption that little meat 
would be wanted in 11 . week so universally given to 
poultry, drovers and dealers In live stock have given 
themselves over to holiday enjoyments, rather than 
piv their ordinary vocation. The consequence Is the 
lightest supply of cattle 01 any week during the past 
(bice yours, while hog., and sheep run lighter than 
(or month* past, Such a strong holding buck hun 
produced a icuroily, and all kinds sell quickly at an 
advance. Those best, posted affect to know that our 
future supply will be . mull for a. week or two, and 
are counting upon a further advance. The demand 
for meat* is usually good after the surfeit of holiday 
poultry,

shown Im comparison wifli other seasons:

demand for fancy or holiday beeves being nearly

wholesale butcher* Often buy because eheiifio-.t, was 
advanced 11 plump cent. Homo decent. Illinois steers 
of 7 cwt. net, which would not have brought I5c. last 
week, were sold at tlie. yesterday. The average

of Texans, which are rated us tlie hardest sort, to soil 
and go ut. the lowest price, if we extopt a lew old dry 
cows and bulls trom this State. Nothing very extra
