New Yohk, Jan. 6.1871. 
Kithku the surplus stocks of former weeks have 
not been eaten up, or people are still at. work upon 
poultry, for the continually diminished receipts cause 
no improvement either in prices or quickness of sale, 
especially with cattle. Poultry has been ubuudunt, 
and frozen bn* of chickens sold ut 10 ® lie. |« it., which 
are largely taken in place of incut. One other thing 
injures the sale of cattle, and that Is the higher 
ruling of beet, compared to mutton and pork. All 
the railroads are now in running order, und the stock 
is delivered at Its usual destination.

Brt'vrs.-Where the beef comes from begins to 
be a mystery. The average of live cuttle, for a fort¬ 
night past bus been 5,500, or 1,300 less than the aver¬ 
age weekly receipts of 1370. and still Washington 
Market, has been glutted with dressed quarters. 
True, we are getting about too Chicago dressed cat¬ 
tle per week, but they fall by a long way to lintke up 
the deficiency. The veal cause of the general dull¬ 
ness ot the market, and apparently large supply of 
dressed meat, Is that people are not eating is much 
heef ms usual. Many who would eat it are out of em¬ 
ployment, und hnVU not money with which to pur¬ 
chase, wlille other* urn yet feasting upon poultry, 
of which the market lias never been so fully sup¬ 
plied, taking the season through. In Comparison 
with last week, the cattle trade exhibits less life, 
prices are scarcely as good, and slock hangs along 
from day to day, file yards seldom being clear at 
night. On Monday last. New Year us it was, the 
live stock men traded us usual, having 4,1123 cattle to 
dispose of 113 ears at One Hundredth Htroel. and 57

Milcli (Joivh.-R eceipts for 1870 were 5,050, against 
4,836 for the previous year. This shows u light in¬ 
crease. The cow trade is not a flourishing one in the 
city. Even milkmen who kc’gp cows in the suburbs 
usually go to the country anil gel their stock, anil 
thus avoid the deceptions too orteu practiced upon 
them by unprincipled dealers. Trade has been slow 
tor a week past, and does not gi vc much promise for 
the future. Cow beef sells too low for milkmen to 
feel in « mood to purchase more fresh cows than 
they really need. We quote poor cows at *45iw56;

light, hog-dressed have come forward very freely, 
and the markets are now glutted with them, espe¬ 
cially with grass or hay veals selling at 0 ® 8 o., so
