NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
At Market -1,300 Beef Cattle, (100 southern, the remainder 
from this state and east,) 80 Cows and Calves, and 3,000 Sheep 
and Lambs. ' r 
Beef Cattle. -The market is firm in prices. The sales run 
from $6 to $9 per hundred. The number of head on hand 
is estimated at 200. 
Cows and Calves.— All taken at from $20 to $45 
Sheep and Lambs -They are getting more plenty. Sales 
from $1.75 to $5,/ 5. The number unsold, 400. 
Remarks.— Grain and Flour have fallen considerably since 
our last : Pork somewhat less. In other products we have lit- 
tle change to notice. 
The Weather is fine, though unusually cool, and conse- 
quently the spring rather backward. Wheat is looking well, 
and is now very forward at the south. In Georgia, it will be 
soon ready to cut. We hear fair accounts, thus far, from the 
cane, cotton, rice, and tobacco ; but it is much too early to 
give any opinion as to these crops. Northern grain and grass 
are getting up well, and the indications are favorable. 
To Correspondents. — Communications have been received

Application of Guano and Poudrette.—T). R. S., of West 
Norwalk, Ct. — Guano may be sown on meadows any time pre- 
vious to the first of June, at the rate of 300 lbs. to the acre. It 
should be mixed with about ten times its weight of potash marl 
or rich loam, with a slight sprinkling of charcoal dust or plaster 
of Paris. A half pint of poudrette applied in the hill, at the 
time of planting Indian corn, followed by spreading around it 
about the same quantity of leached ashes at the second hoeing, 
has been attended with good results. 
PERUVIAN GUANO 
FOR Sale, at Bating Hollow, Long Island, by 
jy3t ----M A7-EI. DOWNS- 
MORSE'S GREY. 
THIS celebrated horse will stand the ensuing season at the 
stable of James Rice in Speigletown, three miles north of the 
village of Lansingburgh. He is a beautiful dapple grey, 15% 
hands high, strongly and finely proportioned, has trotted his 
mile in 2 minutes and 50 seconds, is a square trotter, and com- 
bines first-rate trotting qualities and great powers of endur- 
ance, with unsurpassed gentleness and docility. His colts are 
justly celebrated for speed, bottom, and good temper, and are 
eagerly sought after in the market, and command prices rang- 
ing from $150 to $500. The very high reputation of his stock 
as road horse?, and the extraordinary prices they command, 
renders him by far the most profitable horse to breed from of 
any in the country. Mares sent from a distance will have such 
attendance and keeping as the owners desire, and upon the 
most reasonable terms. The horse will be under the charge 
of his former owner, Mr. Calvin Morse. Terms, $10 the sea- 
son. Insurance to be agreed upon. Communications address- 
ed. J. T. GRANT. P. M. Junction, Rensselaer county, will 
receive prompt attention. my 3t 
COLE'S AMERICAN FRUIT BOOK. 
S. W. COLE, Esq., Editor of the New-England Farmer, and 
author of the popular work entitled the American Veterinarian, 
of which 22.000 copies have already been published, has, af- 
ter years of patient labor and close investigation, completed 
his great work, entitled '• Cole's x\mencan Fruit Book," — a 
work which we believe is destined to have a more widely- 
extended circulation than any similar work, ever before offered 
to the American public. We believe so for the following 
reasons : — 
1st. It is a mature work and a practical one, one upon 
which Mr. Cole has spent many years of study and close ex- 
amination, and knowing the wants of the community, has met 
those wants in a plain, concise, and familiar manner, avoiding 
technicalities, and scientific specifications and definitions, use- 
ful only to the few, he has made a work intelligible to all. It 
is emphatically a book for the people. 
2d. It will have an unprecedented sale on account of its 
cheapness. It makes a volume of 288 closelv-printed pages. 
Illustrated with nearly two hundred beautifully-executed en- 
gravings, by Brown, and is sold for 60 cents firmly bound in 
leather, and 62>£ cents in fancy cloth, with gilt backs It con- 
tains full directions for raising, propagating and managing 
fruit trees, shrubs, and plants, with a description of the best 
varieties of fruits, embracing several new and valuable kinds ; 
embellished with engravings, and outlines of fruit trees, and 
various other designs. 
100 agents, active, intelligent, and honest, are wanted to sell 
this book, in every state in the Union. A cash capital of from 
©25 to $C0 will be necessary. Address, (post paid,) the pub- 
lishers, John P. Jewett & Co.. 23 Cornhill. Boston. C. M.
