 NEW YORK CATTLE MARKET— July 3. 



The supply to-day falls short of last week, over 1,000 head; 

 the average quality and weight being also below the stock of 

 last Tuesday end Wednesday. The real quantity in hands on 

 sale is not as large as our figures seem to indicate. 



The reduced receipts, however, have failed to stir up buyers, 

 and there is really very little difference in the tone of the mar- 

 ket, and certainly not much improvement in prices. On the 

 better grades, perhaps an advauce of }ic ^ B has been paid, 

 and some few good sales were made at say half a cent ^ D) 

 advance. Yet, the average of the market was very little over 

 S@3Xc. 



The rates this time last year were 2i^@3c better. Extra 

 stock sold at 12>^c against 9>rf to-day : and the average of the 

 entire market was 10>^c against S@6ii' to-day. As usual 

 during the days immediately preceding and following the 4th 

 of July, the demand has beeh suddenly checked, as a large 

 number of our citizens lerve ths city for country recreation 

 and enjoyment. At the opening of the day's business prices 

 looked better, and drovers and speculators Indulged the hope 

 that once more they would be able to make a respectable pro- 

 fit. As the day waned, however, butchers began to drop off, 

 the heat became intense, and it soon became apparent that 

 sellers would have to be not only polite but hospitable. Ice 

 lemonades, coblers, smashers, etc., were soon palatable, and, 

 in many cases bad a charming effect in closingup accounts and 

 helping negociations. 



At the close of Tuesday, prices were not as good as at the 

 opening, and a small quantity were aft over. Perhaps they 

 will be taken on Thursday or Friday next. The prospects 

 of higher prices are not fluttering, yet some contend that 

 next week the supply will be again short, and better prices 

 result.

SELF-BAKING REAPER AND MOWER 



Improved for 1860. 



The only Machine cutting five and a half feet wide, that a 

 pair of ordinary horses can work with ease all day. The cut- 

 ting draft of the Esterly's Reaper, is 275 pounds, cutting five 

 feet nine inches wide — Kirby's 3; pounds, cutting four feet 

 eight inches wide. All other Reapers are of heavier draft. 



The Rake, improved for 1S60, works to the entire satisfaction 

 of every one. The castings are heavier than those of last 

 year, and a new divider has been added; also, a new mode of 

 raising, lowering, and leveling the sickle sill, and many other 

 imprevements which we warrant to be on every macUne we

WORD TO THE DISCOURAGED.— 



In another coluinn you will find my card relating 

 to the cure of Dyspepsia, and in this place I will just add, it 

 is well known that thousands of Dyspeptic patients, and thou- 

 sands more who have not known what was the matter, have 

 been trying many kinds of patent medicine, known as Cure 

 Allx, and the skill of the profession (all the Schools) without 

 having realized satisfactory results; all of which have in a great 

 measure, been owing to overlooking the Electrical state of 

 the Stomach, ts rotary motion in the process of digestion, and 

 the further fact, that the gastric juice, when in a healthy con- 

 dition, is a neutral, and as soon as there is present too much 

 acid or alkali, this condition is changed, and instead of diges- 

 tion, we have a fermentation of the food. The fact is in or- 

 der to extract the dynamic or cohesive forces of the food, 

 reducing it to pulp, which is easily converted into chyme and 

 chyle,lit is absolutelv necessary that the gastric juice 

 SHOULD BE NEUTRAL.
