LIVE STOCK MARKETS. 
New York. Jan. 14,1510. 
The firm tone of the market one week ago, with a 
light supply and liig.i prices, stimulated the drovers, 
and now we have too much stock. There is a very 
large iucrease in the receipts of cuttle, sheep and 
hogs. The hire warm weather waa very unfavorable 
for trade, no one wishing to keep a stock of dressed 
meat on hand, hence they only buy live stock for 
present, wants. The carcasses of beef and the West¬ 
ern dressed hogs arriving ny rail have to be forced 
upon the market. Hie weather not favoring holding, 
and tills acts against live stock. Altogether the mar¬ 
kets are weak and prices nut at all satisfactory to 
owners.

UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF INDEPEND¬ 
ENT JOURNALISM. 
How a Lively, Enterprising Paper is Pro¬ 
duced for Two Cents. 
BY OLIVER DYER. 
On Tuesday morning, the third day of Sep¬ 
tember, 1833, The New York Son first rose, 
from a dingy office at No. 322 William street, 
upon the inhabitants of New York City. It did 
not then, as now, "shine for nil, price two 
centsbut shone for only a limited number, at 
one cent a shine, and was rather a feeble bunt- 
ling, diminutive in size, and measiey of coun¬ 
tenance; but so, also, at his birth, was George 
Washington. 
It is almost, if not quite, impossible for a New- 
Yorker of the present day, who was notan in¬ 
habitant of the city thirty-six years ago, to form 
any idea of the New York upon which The Sun 
rose on that Tuesday morning in September, 
1833. There was not only no Central Park then, 
but there was not even u Madison Square, or a 
Madison Avenue, or a Union Square, ora Fifth 
Avenue. There was no Croton Water; sixpenny 
dinners wero all the go among the million ; and 
two jurors were tiued ton dollars eaoli for falling 
asleep during the trial of a cause in tlie Supreme 
Court. General Jackson was then in tlie first 
year of bis second Presidential term, and the 
United States Bank war was raging with con¬ 
suming ferocity*. So fierce wero partisan ani¬ 
mosities, and so petty tho notions of even intel¬ 
ligent people, that. In some cases Whigs refused 
to purchase their groceries of Democrats, and 
Democrats would not buy their dry goods from 
Wiiigs. James Watson Webb discharged old 
Uncle McKee, n veteran type-sottor, from the 
office of the Courier and Enquirer bccauso the 
old man sympathized with General Jackson,and 
then came out with a Justificatory editorial, in 
which la; said;—"We wish to be distinctly un¬ 
derstood that whenever we shall have occasion 
to reduce tho force iu this office, the reduction 
Will ho nut tic from the, ranks of those, Who differ 
from us on questions of national importance I” 
Can any man imagine tlie editor of a metro¬ 
politan Journal of the present day Inquiring 
into the politics of a compositor in his office7 
or conceive It possible for u man of ordinary 
decency thus to advertise his partisan folly uml 
petty vindictiveness ? No, thanks to tlie Inde¬ 
pendent Press (of which The Sun was the 
pioneer and The Ilerald a mighty member) and 
to llnraoQ Greeley, niOre than to any other mini 
in America, the day for tho exhibition of such 
revolting tolly has passed, never more to return 
so long as The Sun shall shine. 
Benjamin II. Day, printer, was tlie founder of 
the New York Sun. Mr. Day bus been dead 
many years, aa has also liis successor, Moses Y. 
Bench. Mr. Bench laid the foundation of Tin: 
Sun's pcri 7 innent grow 111 and fortune, fie was 
a mini o' .•.iguoity anil enterprise; and before 
the day of railroads and telegraphs, lie imido 
pony expresses and carrier pigeons do the work 
of steam und lightning as far us energy and 
skill could compass such results with such 
means. After his death, the work which lie had 
80 well begun was assumed and carried on by 
his sons, until within a very recent period. 
But The Sijn of tho past is a thing of tho 
past; and it is of The Sun of to-day- This Sun 
not of local but of national reputation, owned 
by the SUN PRINTING AND PUBLISHING 
COMPANY, and edited by Charles A. Dana, 
that we set out. to write, 
Tho Sun Company was organized in 1887, and 
purchased The Sun Newspaper in January, 
1888. The paper was issued for a few weeks 
from the old Sun office at the southwest corner 
of Fulton and Nassau streets, and until the old 
Tammany Hall building, at the corner of Frank¬ 
fort and Chatham streets, which had been pur¬ 
chased by t he Company, could be transformed 
Into the model newspaper office which is accu¬ 
rately pictured to the eye by tho out wldch 
accompmiios this article. This edifice was com¬ 
pleted in the month of January, 1808; The sun 
was immediately thereafter removed thithor, 
and it now daily radtatos its beams from the old 
site wldch was aforetime wont to glow with tho 
camp fires of the Red Men of Tammany, who 
themselves did glow witli the fire-waters of the 
pale-faces, and dance tho war-danccs of their 
people with aboriginal exhilaration and agility. 
The daily circulation of The New Yoiik Sun 
is over 70,000 copies [it is now, Jan. 1,1870, two 
months since this article was written, consider¬ 
ably over 80,000 per day and constantly increas¬ 
ing.— O. Dyer;] but for convenience sake, we 
will call it only 70,000. And the problem is, how 
shall 70,000 Buns bo produced every morning be¬ 
fore breakfast, and laid on our breakfast tables 
for two cents a copy V 
A stupendous pieco of business, not only in its 
totality, but also in every one of its details; and 
that the reader may understand how ids busi¬ 
ness is brought to pass, we will in the first place 
state how The Sun is made, and carried on, and 
describe tho machinery and the mystery of Its 
manufacture. 
When one. enters the first floor corner door of 
the spacious and elegant edifice, which is repre¬ 
sented by the preceding cut of The New York 
Sun Building, he finds himself in 
The Publication Office 
of the establishment. This is a spacious room 
with lofty celling, running tho whule depth of 
the building, it is divided into a front and rear 
office by a counter stretching across the center, 
from side to side. In the trout office are desks 
at which advertisers can write or modify their 
advertisements. Oneenn hardly enter this office 
at any hour between 8 o’clock iu the morning 
und 10 at uight, without finding it. alive with em¬ 
ployes and customers. There Is a constant rush 
of persons bringing advertisements, and coming 
for answers to advertisements, and calling to 
purchase Tiie Sun or to subscribe for it, and 
seeking information or bringing information; 
altogether presenting an animated spectacle. 
The rear effioe in the Publication Room is fit¬ 
ted up with desks for the cashier, advertisement 
clerks, mail clerks, and other employes, and with 
the ponderous safes of tlie establishment. It 
also contains the inner and private office Of the 
publisher, Isaac W. England, Esq., who, though 
not old iu years, is a veteran in newspaper affairs

to discuss in the columns of the paper.

TiIB Sun shall be independent of party, aiming 
always to bring out the truth, no matter who 
may bo helped or hurt by its publication; to 
support honest and capable men for uffloc, no 
matter to what party they belong; to secure tho 
enactment ol’ good laws, no matter by whom 
they are proposed ; never In any case to admit 
into the columns or the paper anything that is 
contrary to ptiblioov private morality, or which 
cannot bo freely read in the family circle; ami 
always to maintain an independent attitude in 
the discussion of religions questions, treating all

and endeavoring to measure and Judge them all

Everybody .seems to work ns though 
under whip and spur. Reporters from 
the public meetings, fires, tights and 
scenes of accident, and crime, rush in 
witli their notes and set to work as if for 
life. Messengers hurry to and fro from 
telegraph offices. Other messengers like¬ 
wise hurry to and fro from divers other

Editor, or the Chief, on matters of press¬

with promptness, celerity and courtesy.

weapons, they enter the editorial office and seek 
to have the reporters discharged. The Manag.
