NEW YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
At Market.— 1,500 Beeves, (500 southern, the remainder from 
this state and the east,) 50 Cows and Calves, and 5,000 Sheep and 
Lambs. 
Beef Cattle.— The market, since our last, has been without much 
animation ; prices, however, keep firm, for the better qualities, 
which we continue to quote at $8: the range is from that down to 
$5.50. At the close, there was not much spirit shown. About 100 
left over. 
Cows and Calves. — Dull of sale ; prices ranged from $20 @ $40. 
Left over, 15. 
Sheep and Lambs were in fair demand : sales at from $1.75 @ 
$5.50. Unsold, 500. 
Remarks. — No change worthy of note. 
The Weather has been uncommonly mild the past month. The 
quid mines who prophesied a severe winter, have been mistaken 
for once, as it has been quite the contrary.

from D. H. Ellis, A Virginian, S. T. C, Con Amore, G., M. H. 
Morris, N. Longworth, C. S. W., John Wilkinson, S. R. G., Linus

A Comprising the Origin, History, and Description of 
the Different Breeds of Domestic Poultry ; with Complete 
Directions for their Breeding, Crossing," Rearing, Fatten-

Appendix, embracing the Comparative Merits of Different Breeds 
of Fowls, by Samuel Allen. Price $1, in cloth— 75 cts. with 
paper covers. 
" We apprehend that this work is unique in character. We 
remember none so complete nor so practical. It describes all the 
various breeds of domestic poultry known in this country, and 
gives ample directions for their breeding, rearing, fattening, and 
preparation for market. The appendix, by Mr. Allen, a practical 
man, 13 scarcely less valuable than the main body of the book. 
The wood cuts are numerous and faithful." — JV. Y. Com. AdverVr. 
" This is undoubtedly the best work of the kind in print, and 
from the interest taken in the subject on which the volume before 
us treats, we have no doubt it will have an extensive sale ; at any 
rate, it is deserving of such. — Boston Bee.
