THE NEW YORK MARKET. 

 The N. Y. Daily Advertiser of Saturday re- 

 marks: — Our last advires are to the 25th 

 March fiom Liverpool, — only a few days lat.i 

 than (hose noticed last week. They furnish 

 nothing importanl to influence the inarkei 

 here. Business has been lively during the 

 past week, and there is every prospect tha: 

 the spiing sales of dry goods, hardware and 

 groceries will be extensive. The market ba- 

 llot undergone much change, except for flour 

 which has been declining from day to day, and 

 is now from 25 to 50 cents lower than lasi 

 week. Tins isattnbuied to the large supplie- 

 arriving Irom the south, and arrivals by the 

 canal, which will begin to reach here in a 

 Tew days. Exchange on England has advan 

 ced ; siill the money market is abundant. 



Ashes — Advices to the 25th from Liverpool, 

 quote ashes lower. Prices have continued 

 much the sam- here. Pots are selling stead* 

 at g4 50 to $4 60, and pearls at $5 50. The 

 supplies at market are getting reduced. Ar- 

 rivals by the canal may be expected in all 

 next week. We continue the qiotatious oi 

 last week— Pols lOOlba. 4 50 a 4 60. Pearls 

 5 50 



Flour— We have had a declining marke' 

 since our last wiih considerable southern re 

 ceipts, and the near approach of oeavy sup 

 phes through the canal, which is now naviga- 

 ble. Ttio reduction is nearly 50 cts per bbl. 

 from our quolations of last week, according 

 to the few sales i»e have heard of; among 

 which are, 1200 Howard st. at 6 78; 4 or 50i> 

 Philadelphia, at $6, and several parcels ol 

 North Kivnr at the same price. The stock of 

 southern flour is large, mostly of the lower 

 descriptions. Richmond city and Howard st 

 are moie enquired for. Prices are not estab. 

 hshed sufficient to quote wilh precision. Mant 

 of the holders decline selling at the presen. 

 reduction, but buyers do not freely offer even 

 jg6 for common d senptions. Corn meal is in 



demand, and has advanced. We quote 



New York sup. 6 a 6 12, Western do 6 25 a

TO OUR FRIENDS IN THE WEST, 



On the bunks of the Canal, in and about Many. 



Twelve years ago, there came forth a host of Seeds- 

 men, with Cobbett at their head, speaking great sweW- 

 ing words-they promised much-tbey performed noth- 

 ing. From a planting of fifteen dollars, the present elate 

 of our establishment will show what good seeds, goofl 

 soil, and good cultivation will produce B 



For the accommodation of our customers as above, we 

 intend, (nothing extra preventing, to open a Seed, Plant 



outheCth day „f April next, opposite the building ,„,£ 

 which the post ofiice IS to be removed on or befWc the 

 1st of .May. within a lew doors of the Museum, and wi.hih 

 pistol shot of the five banks. The business in Albany w^t 

 be conducted by one of my sons, and the store sup„l„ c 

 withthc same goods, and at ihe same prices at whiAwe 

 sell in New York. As we derive on, supplies I" 

 less from every quarter of ihe globe, we think it will be 

 a facility to the agriculturist, as well as profitable to 

 the concerned. It they Bill keep pace with the abilit, 

 and Providence smiles on ihe undertaking.! see nerh ,,„' 

 t. prevent its arriving in a few years to the same eii™ 

 sire footing 111 Albany as the mother store in New York 

 for, while the rich in our city purchase the Bowers anf' 

 the blossoms.and the rivers and the ocean carry our see/\ 

 to every clime, so in Albany the ta,u wants only illi 

 and nches are already there in abundance : while The 

 cans conveys the seeds to the Luke Superior, til "great 

 Western Road will transport them far towards the set- 

 ting sun. Noihing tha. good seeds and attention tobus 

 mess can pe.form will be wanting on our par? to mil' 

 the public expectation ' ">ce\
