The Senators lately elected in Illinoia, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, owe their position to the abeence of the best men of these States is the army, and they and their faglers know this right well.

The market for beef cattle opened this ing in forty-fourth street with only a little over ,000 bullocks'en wle, and this wss so light supply that tbe saleemen made a strong effort te advance the price laet week'a and for some hours held their stock vsry firm st slight advance, ao tbet msny aales were made 'upon better tfrms for ownere than tbe same a took would have been sold last Monday. About nqon, however, something over 800 head arrived, which, it wss bed been since daylight on tbe Erie care waiting to get up to Pike's Peak to be Tbe sight of this reinforcement unreduced the ueoai effect upoo the market, juring tbe sale of here aa well aa those riviog. Upon the whole, we conclude that the prices per pound average just about tbe ssme si ast week, that ie full per pound, net, wbile- tbe quality ia very much inferior. Neerly alV that rate first quality aell at per pouad, net, and If anytbiog extra at per while there are but few idea below 8c per pound for the net weight of meet, aioking offal, which, at preeent price of hidee and fat, is no siderable item. Fortunately, for the interests of Government, Mewrs.

Sterr It Reed have ce extensive orders for shipping this week, and but few are eblpping on private sccount, so thst neerly all tbe supply will remain for city butchers and small ss the number ie would be smple if the quality wss good aqd weights aa great as they usually average. As it is, the supply is not much short of tbe needs of buyers, for the weather is very nssrly all out snd air beevy with fog. Under sucb unfavorable- circumstances if the price edvancea, with 3,400. head on sale, it argues well for the future. As night approacbea appeara certain that tbe stock wilt be eo neerly sold oat to day that the- cioee of the market will not ahow any material' decline.

Tbe hog market does not sppear to be as much effected by tbe warm week as was pected. The sheep market is lightly supplied1 and pricee remarkably high-that is, about 7e per pound, Uve weight The report of all tbs. markets made up to-moriow will give full parti- culars. mixed. Hew Tork, Jan.
