THE COUNTRY CHEESE MARKET, 
TrtERK Is loss disposition on the part of dairymen 
to hold cheese, and more has boon done at the Little 
Fails Market, for tbe week ending April 2d, than for 
some weeks previous. Prices are low, the sales till* 
wmt of farm dairies ringing from 13 to He. f ir li» it 
grade*. Some of tho factories have boon shipping 
forward their goods to ho sold on commission. As 
now ehnnno nmv begins to be made quite freely, the 
old m.iko must be cleared out, and hence there is a 
feeling on tho part of dairymen to meet the views of 
dealers. Factories may lie quoted ill 11 to 15c. 
Spring butter come* In more freely. Oh Monday, 
about 150 tubs were sold at prices ranging from 28 to 
32e., according to quality. Avery nice tiling, how¬ 
ever, would bring a higher figure.

Nr.iv York, March 31, 1870. 
There is a marked increase in numbers this week, 
and still thn prices are sustained. The scanty sup¬ 
ply if former weeks created a demand which is not 
readily Oiled, There i - now a downward look to 
cuttlu and sheep, but hogs are vovy firm. Eggs have 
bemi high, and poultry virtually removed from com¬ 
petition hy Its icareity. At the present time eggs 
are coming forward more freely, and the shad sea¬ 
son i* near at hand, both of which affect this prices 
of meat. 
The following are tho receipts of live stock, shown 
In comparison with former periods:

Reeve*.—The lpnreated receipts of beeves have 
only been sufficient to prevent a further advance In 
prices. Tlie supply of dressed incats had run down 
quite low, and even now the number of live cattle 
coming forward is moderate. A groat scarcity of 
sheep adds materially to tho demand for cattle. 
From the latest accounts It appears likely that 
btiCVOB will not he very plenty until grass clinic begin 
to arrive, for with euttlo It is literally “botwocn buy 
unci grass" Just now.

llilcli flows.—While a little improvement can lie 
noted in good COWS, tho supply of which Is very light, 
Common and poor animals are selling very slowly, a 
supply of aucli being constantly on hand. Good milk¬ 
ers are valuable In llio country, and are mostly kept 
there, while those nf little value there, und still less 
here, are sent to tills market and sold for what they 
will tiring, or $4<u5i) each. Good, flesh cows sell bet¬ 
ter. and will command $706480. while $90 und even $100 
can be obtained for extras. Home of the dealers, in¬ 
stead of operating through this city, as formerly, go 
into Uiecouiitry.even as for as CuninlH,and purchase 
froah cows uud springers, which they take to the 
dairy regions and sell to farmers or milkmen. 
Veal Halves.- Tho larger number nf calves com¬ 
ing forward, both live amt dressed, causes a decline 
in prices, the best live veals of 1351*150 lbs,, selling at 
IPAUXc., wit h a very few of the tho* al 12c. Medium 
calves uro worth lOc.-und poor sell ub7&9c.. with little 
bobs at $3,5034 each. There is a fair demand tor 
fut milves, but common ones sell slowly. Hog-dress¬ 
ed are wortli 11416c., for faff to good and IOdSlSc., for 
ordinary, with hob* and stale calves atHwylOo. The 
police have taken bo many of the small calms that 
few of them are now sent to market. 
Slisrp.-Aa Increase of 6,100over thereeepMof the 
prev ious week causes a slow market, but owners hold 
on to the old prices. Sheep cost *o much in the 
country that they have to bo sold very high here, or 
lose money. Butcher* find It hard work to sell mut¬ 
ter. at the extreme rate*, hence combat the dealers 
and owners on every point, which causes a slow trade.
