LIVE STOCK MARKETS. 
New YORK, .Tan. 4, 1872. 
The markets have undergone some changes during 
the week, ( attic have come forward more freely and 
have h downward tendency at close. Sheep are very 
BCareo and high, bringing nearly the best price* of the 
season. Hogs, too, are not so plenty and ure firmer. 
Hut, to counteract this short run of live stock, we are 
getting a moderate amount of beet killed in Chicago. 
VOIJ many Western Ureaaed hogs, large quantities of 
buffalo iiuait and vpnlson, while heavy stock*of cheap 
holiday poultry still hold. Poultry lias sold so low 
that It has taken the place ot incut to quite an extent.
