NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Jit Market.— 1,400 Beef Cattle (600 southern, remainder this 
state), 50 Cows and Calves, and 3.000 Sheep and Lambs. 
Beef Cattle— The extremely unfavorable state of the weather 
retards operations in the yard, to-day, and the market, upon 
the whole, may be reported very dull. Prices, from $6 to f 8.50 
as in quality. It is probable there was about 500 head left 
over. 
Cows and Calves.— All taken at from $22.50 to $45. 
Sheep and Lambs.— Sheep at from $1.50 to $6.50. Lambs 
$1.50 to $3. Unsold, 550. 
_ Remarks. — Flour, wheat, and oats have advanced slightly 
since our last, while corn has receded somewhat. Beef and 
pork continue high, at an advance, but prices will give way 
as soon as we are in receipts from the west, via New Orleans. 
These are daily expected. Cotton, a steady and quite satis- 
factory advance. The gold fever is all the rage just now in 
this city, but we hope it will not spread among the farmers. 
Beware of that and the cholera, and take needful precautions 
against both. 
Money continues reasonably abundant, and business very 
active for the season. 
The Weather has been unprecedentedly cold here the past 
week. The thermometer sank to within three degrees of zero 
in the city, and one or two below in its immediate neighbor- 
hood ; colder than we have before experienced for thirteen 
years. • The weather is now quite mild, with a rain and thaw. 
To Correspondents. — Communications have been received 
from E. J. Capell, Old Lady, Samuel Allen, A Friend to Agri- 
culture, Wm. H. Gardiner, N. Longworth, Solon Robinson, M.

Putting up Butter hi Ice for N. Y. Market. — W. S., of Dover, 
N. Y. — Turn to p. 314. vol. vii. of the Agriculturist, and you 
will find the information you ask. 
Estimating the Quantity of Hay in the Mow. — A. W. C, of 
West Farms. — We do not know of any rule for computing the 
exact quantity of hay in a mow of given dimensions. Its 
weight would depend upon the kind of hay, its degree of 
moisture, dryness, compactness, &c. 
Copying Articles from the Agriculturist without giving Credit. 
— Lancaster County Farmer.- — Why not give the papers from 
which you copied these articles, credit then ? If you did not 
know that they belonged to the Agriculturist, you might sup- 
pose they belonged to the papers from which you copied, and 
this would have given us a clue to those papers which first 
proved culpable.

Ky., a pamphlet on his Patent Safety Mask, or Prophylatic
