NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
j At Market.— 2,000 Beef Cattle, (1,100 southern, the remainder 
from this state and east,) 65 Cows and Calves, and 5.500 Sheep 
: and Lambs. 
Beef Cattle. --The market for Beeves, though active, is rather 
overstocked, the sales varying from $5.50 to $S per hundred. 
The number on hand, unsold, is estimated at 200. 
Cows and Calces.— These vary from $18 to S45. The dempnd 
rather dull— 15 left over. 
Sheep and Lambs .—These are plenty ; the Sheep selling from 
§1.25 to 85.25, and the Lambs from $1 to $3.25 eacn Tne 
number lef: unsold, 300. 
Remarks.— Ashes, Cotton, and Wool have advanced since 
our last, the latter article from ten to twenty-five per cent., 
according to quality. This is encouraging to the wool 
grower. Flour and Grain have slightly receded. 
Crops.— All the grain crops have proved a full average, 
taking the aggregate of the country. Corn never was better, 
though it is late in ripening. But the fall weather, providen- 
tially, has been uncommonly warm and fine for this purpose ; 
had it been the reverse, very little corn would have ripened 
this season, north of latitude 41 degrees. Cotton has suffered 
materially, and will undoubtedly be a short crop. The 
drought has continued up to this date quite severe in parts of 
the west and north, so much so, as to materially affect the 
pastures, and greatly reduce the hay crop. In Nova Scotia, 
and some other parts of the British Provinces, we understand, 
not over a quarter so much hay will be cut this season as 
usual, on account of the severe drought. 
Money abundant, and business very active. 
The Cholera has ceased, and the city now is very healthy. 
To Correspondents.— Communications have been received 
from Z. C. Robbins, Henry A. Field, William IT. Sotham, Na- 
than Chapin. Edmund Troye, David Miller, and Reviewer.
