The shiprnents of live stock continue to flow from the sources noted last week, those from the ' Northwestern región having been totally sus pended since the effects of the panic became thoroughly extended. Stock from that región entered actively into competition with State ofierings at this time last year, furuishing nearly all of the extra choice class in the mirket and stocking the market to overflowing. The absence of this stock is attributed to the decline in poultry nicats, whieh are held so cheaply as to lessen the demaud for other choice meats. State operators are highly satisfied with the present state of things, though it must be said that producers in the Northwest, remote from the homo market, are just now the real sufferers. The receipts for the past week and correspoudins week last year were as follows : Cattle. Hogs. Sheep.
