NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
M Market.— L600 Beef Cattle, (S00 southern, the remainder 
from this state and east,) 65 Cows and Calves, and 6,500 Sheep 
and Lambs. 
Beef Cattle. — The market for Beeves, is active, and firm, and 
fairly stocked, the sales varying from $5.50 to $7.50. The 
number on hand, unsold, is estimated at 200. A lot of 40 head 
has lately been shipped to Bermuda. 
Coivs and Calves. — The prices of these run from $22.50 to 
$45. Left over, 15. 
Sheep and Lambs. — These are plenty, and rather on the in- 
crease, the Sheep selling from $1.25 to $4.50 each, and the 
Lambs from $1 to $3.25. The number left unsold, about 500. 
Remarks. — The changes in the market since our last are 
very trifling. Business has been good, and large transactions 
in produce are daily taking place. The accounts of the Cot- 
ton crop are still gloomy. Rice is a good yield, Sugar fair. 
To Correspondents. — Communications have been received 
from C. T. Jackson, John Delafield, Robert Willets, S B. Par- 
sons, J. B. Davis, and Benjamin Burroughs. 
Temperature for Bees in Winter. — J. R. S., of Stockholm, N. J. 
— By various experiments of heat and cold, afforded to bees, 
there is said to be no such thing as freezing them to death. 
By keeping them uniformly cool, not half the number will die 
during winter, that there would if the weather were variable, 
warm, and mild, when the bees will venture too far from their 
hives. 
Prepared Guano. — L., of Hartford, Ct. — Our advice is to 
buy no other but the best Peruvian, in an unadulterated state. 
See remarks at page 79, of our seventh volume. 
Alkaline Manure. — R. W., of Newtown, L. I. — The cheapest 
substance we could recommend to you, as a manure contain- 
ing potash, soda, magnesia, and lime, is that known by the 
name of bitterns, or the refuse of saltworks. It can be ob- 
tained at Syracuse, and delivered in New York, for less than 
a dollar per barrel. A similar compost may be formed by the 
admixture of unleached wood ashes, common salt, and the 
magnesian, or stone lime, from North River. 
Acknowledgements. — Annual Address delivered before 
the Fairfield-County Agricultural Society, at Bridgeport, CL, 
in October, by P. T. Barnum, Esq., President of the Society.
