OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE. 
From J. H., of Harpers Forry.W. Vu.:—** For the in¬ 
closed $8 please continue to send me the RURAL 
New-Yorker I like the high-toned, conservative 
character of tho paper, and gain much valuable In¬ 
formation on farming and many other subjects from 
its perusal; and with my family, from the youngest 
to the eldest member, it is the paver. The blows yon 
now and tbeu deal at tbe fraud and bumbuggery of 
the day, delight me, and 1 t rust you will continue to 
expose the trickery of those who arc Irving to make 
money, without work, at the expense of the unsus¬ 
pecting. Occasionally a correspondent, looking 
through peculiarly colored glasses-give* us Southern¬ 
ers a sly thrust under the ribs, but that we don’t 
mind." 
An Agent-Friend In Harford Co., Md., writes:—" 1 
would rather lose my dinner than the RURAL,and 
If I could tako but one paper, the Rural would be 
that one. And one of my old club says: * Put me 
down, fur I get in the Rural more valuable read¬ 
ing, for the least money, than from any paper I ever 
took,’ and he is a reading mao." 
A Post-Master in Sussex Co., Del., remits for a copy 
of the Rural for himself, and patriotically adds: 
"I design making an effort to get up a club for your 
paper shortly. Not that I may derive individual 
pecuniary benefit, but that l tblnk tho RURAL will 
improve any neighborhood whose interest Is la 
farming." 
N. 0., of Biutfton, Ind., writes:—" Inclosed please 
And $3 for the Rural for 1870. You can with con¬ 
fidence put mo down as u life member for your nota¬ 
ble paper, even If you should raise the price to $5."

PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS. 
New York. Jan. 7.1870. 
Henna mid I’eus.—Beans are very quiet, and the 
few transactions which occur show shaded figures. 
The stock begins to show conslderableaccumulatlon, 
and should buyers stay it way much longer, a positive 
decline will result. I’eus arc dull, and lots in bond 
are weaker. We quote:— Beans, Kidney, t< bushel, 
?2.90&3: non. prime, r2.75&2.tO: medium, prime, 
82.15@2.'5; common to fair, 81.5032; marrows, prime, 
$2.85@2.95; common to fair, £2,00@2.50. Peas, Canada, 
bond, ft'i'l.Oat freo, In bbls., 61.1501.25; blackeye, 2 
bush, bag, si.30.5l.40. 
Heestvwx.—There has been rather more move¬ 
ment, and prices are quoted lc. better. Western 
and Southern, 37<&39c. 
Broom Corn. -Dull, but holders do uot recede 
from late prices. Choice green, 18si9e,: common to 
fair, ltkilTe. Brooms are worth 83,&o®fc5 for common, 
and 8<ksi7 for best. 
Butter.—Tbe punctuality with which trade sets 
in after tho dull holidays and lunguld month of 
December is u source of much gratification to 
dealers this week. We question the wisdom, how¬ 
ever, of the endeavor shown to make prices recover 
what hos dwindled away during the past few weeks, 
especially as there is an allowable possibility of the 
revival in trade being a little premature. Some of 
our soundest houses would be satisfied If the market 
did not open until the 15th, still the buying has been 
so light latterly that retailers are probably forced to 
-lock up to some extent earlier. Receipts continue 
to favor sellers, being 2,700 pkg*. below last week’s 
light supply. To-day the rush Is for fine grade, but 
as there is not enough of it to fully furniBh a sud¬ 
den call medium and good qualities will likely ob¬ 
tain a movement before the week is over. This Is the 
first show of activity we have had for a long period, 
and. speaking In owners’ Interests, the late enhance¬ 
ment of values should not cause an Injudicious 
release of interior stock upon our market. True, all 
wish to reams nearly current prteos; but tins end 
will be better served by permitting our stores to 
work off some of the stock which now amounts to 
quite an incumbrance. There was no export from 
Canada last week. Prices there have declined, 
and a further lower runge Is quoted here. We 
think 46o. an extreme price for winter made palls; 
they are now neglected by tbe fancy trade, which 
prefers choice half tubs, and when these packages 
will undergo almost a chemical scrutiny without 
blemish, 50c., the late top price for palls can be 
Obtained, l’h last California steumers took the 
usual 83 packugts for Japan.

Cheese.—Since our last, the cable quotation has 
advanced Is. fid., the price now being 69s. Gd. This 
news, which may be the result of an active Christ¬ 
mas trade, has lufused increased firmness among 
holders, but continued low gold will uot allow ship¬ 
pers to operate in high grades of factory, some of 
which are held above the selling prices we annex. 
The home trade is paying the extreme rates, for 
which demand thorn l* a good business. Tbe stock 
Is estimated at 162,000 boxes, fully two-tliirds of 
which are in this city. Receipts at present are little 
in excess of the export.

Cotton.—The market has boen strengthened by 
the decreased supply In Liverpool; but towards the 
close stocks have been coming forward freely at tho 
ports, and with mi easier market abroad, prions are 
unsettled and weak. Receipts for the week, 25.G6X

demand fur tba low grades tjt State unit Western 
from exporters. At tho close the business Is very 
modurnto, and as the supply Is large, holders arc 
offurlng stocks freely at lower prices. Southern 
flour, also. Is weak. Rye flour has declined. Corn

Fro*ii Fruit,—Unless apples begin soon to move, 
dealers will have to accept u lower scale than they 
did last year. Tho supply is thought to bo fully a 
third larger than last year’s crop. The moist weath¬ 
er has beer unfavorable for lots In store, still there 
bus been as yet no material loss; each season's ex¬ 
perience given holders improved Ideas in securing 
stock. Tbe offering of Greenings id not large. C’run-

Poultry and Gnttie.—Moderate receipts and a 
steady demand have created a rule of good prices. 
Or course, rates are not as high as they wore during 
the holidays when the supply was exceptionally 
light, but they are rather beyond what the regular 
trade can afford to pay any length of time. The 
weathur at thocloso is grnutly in holders’ favor. The 
demand is now directed to small sired turkeys which 
outsell heavy ones 2®3o. per t>. Very few duck* ar 
geese are coming forward, tho latter are not wanted 
In a lurgo way. Chickens will sell briskly with the 
least favorable turn In prices for buyers. Shippers 
do the right thing this yeur In carefully sorting and 
packing stock; this very materially hedps the seller, 
and it Is to be hoped that there will bo a continuance 
Of tho system for tho balance of tbe season. Game 
is lu good demand; but. as tho holidays are over, 
price# ure not so stiff for fancy articles.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS. 
NEW York, Jan. 7.1870. 
With a little decrease in cattle, quite a gain in 
sheep, and the lightest receipt# of hogs since Janu¬ 
ary of last year, trudo 1 m quite lively and prices are 
considerably higher. People, tired of poultry by the 
time the holiday# ended, turned to meat with an ap¬ 
petite which speedily used It all up. There Is a buoy¬ 
ant feeling at the close, and prices Continue to favor 
the sellers.

maud, which always follows the holiday poultry 
trudo. Butchers designedly run down their stocks 
of beef, and are bow put to It to All up again. The 
quality of the cattle is generally Inferior. Still, 
scarcely anything In the shape of dry, old cows goes 
below 12c. 
True, some bulls were sold on Monday last at 10c., 
but they would bring lie. to-day. Texan and thin 
State steers, with old oxen and stag*, arc selling ut 
12@14e. and no decent. Illinois steer# go below 15o. 
Fat cuttle command Pftf 17c., with choice ut Itftc., but 
there I# uothlug very extra on the market. Ouly 
1,148 cattle, all told, were on side last Wednesday, 
and 390 of them were animals hold from former mar¬ 
ket day# with the Idea ot higher prices. Dealer# 
are looking for good market* during the month, but 
a heavy run of oattle would upset their calculation. 
Tho commou people are uot prepared to pay the ad¬ 
vance which retail, butcher# will lio obliged to put

Milch Cow*.-There Isa little improvement in 
fresh cows, caused by the advance of beuf. This 
makes even a new milch cow look more valuable in 
the eyes of a purchaser. On the other hand the 
weather has boen so mild and cows have dono so 
well at the pail that It bus been difficult to sell all the 
milk, even at 83 F nan. Somo of the milkmen have 
even boon selling off » portion or their stock, one 
man selling seven at 870 each to a dealer who peddled 
them out at 97.VIOO, and fill) for the finest one.

drossed grass and hay calves sell at 10014c. All 
kind# sell well.
