Waorrspay, Jan. 23, 1856. ‘The market for beef cattle, at Allerton’s, opened in fa- vor of buyers, in consequence of # material increase of supply, and before the close prices receded lc. per Ib ‘The quality of the stock offered, moreover, was decidedly better tban for some weeks past, which contributed somewhat to the depression. The offerings comprised 2,600 fresh cattle, besides some 400 left over last markot ro Strenuous exertions were made by sellers to sus- pricer, but in the face of the large supply, their ef- forts were of no avail. About one half of toe supply came frcm this State, while the remaincer was principally ‘rom bio and Kentucky. Early in the day, some of the cocicert cattle were wold ag high as 11},c. a 12c., out at the close the instde price was reluctantly paid.’ The ge- neral opin‘on seemed to be that a iaige number would re- main unsold at the close. Cows and calves were in go0d demand, and acld at prices varying from $20 to $75, ac- cording to quahty. Swine were in good ‘and sold at 6e. 8 6%¢. per lb., live 7c. a 8c. per Ib., net weight, The sales were as follows:— Prices. roviced for inthe ¢ neil uticnal amendment amounts | I. woyensa to me to be perfectly sbeurd for us to be Pt contract prices, with ten per cent aid-d for cvatio. | g.umbling about “equater vovereignty’? at the prassat Laie! bone root per 100 Ibs.
