NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
At Market.— 1,500 Beef Cattle, (1,300 southern, the remainder 
from this state and east,) 60 Cows and Calves, and 3,000 Sheep 
and Lambs. 
Beef Cattle.— The market is firm in prices. The sales run 
from $7 to $9.25 per hundred. The number of head on hand, 
unsold, is estimated at 100. 
Cows and Calves.— These vary from $20 to $50. 
Sheep and Lambs.— These range from $2.50 to «5. All 
sold. v 
Hogs.— But few in market, ranging from 4 to 5 cents per 
pound, wholesale, and from 4% to 6 cents retail. 
Remarks.— The change in prices since our last has been 
trifling. 
The weather in the latter part of April was so severe, that snow 
fell as far south as Georgia and Mississippi. Frost followed, 
and the result was, that nearly all the cotton and corn in that 
region was killed and had to be replanted. But such is the 
scarcity of seed, that we fear this cannot be done with all the 
cotton fields, consequently, the ensuing crop must be short ; 
but how much less than last year, time only can determine. 
As corn in the west was unplanted at the time of the frosts, 
and as there is plenty of time for it to grow at the south, this 
crop will be more certain. Fruit and all garden vegetables 
have also suffered much at the south ; at the north they have 
been little injured. The season is very unpropitious here, 
however, aud it is rare that we encounter one so backward.

PERUVIAN GUANO 
FOR Sale, at Bating Hollow, Long Island, by 
jy AZEL DOWNSi 
MORSE'S GREY. 
THIS celehrated 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 horses, 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
