NEW YORK. CATTLE MARKET—Dec. 23. 
At market 1150 Beef Cattle (all from the North and East), 80 
Cows and Calves, and 2500 Sheep and Lambs. 
Beef Cattle are a little cheaper—ordinary $4 25 a 4 50; prime 
$5 25 a 50, and some choice $5 75. 
Cows and Calves —same as last week, $14 a 30. 
Sheep and Lambs are a little cheaper; we quote Lambs 87£ a 
2 37£, and Sheep 1 37£ a $5. 
Hay —Brisk demand at 62£ a 75c cwt. for loose. 
Remarks. — Ashes depressed. Cotton the same. Export from 
the United States since 1st September last, 377,768 bales ; same 
time last year, 209,580 ; same time year before, 338,669. Flour , 
Wheat and Rye, steady; Buckwheat dull. Grain , Wheat, Rye, and 
Corn, in good demand ; Oats slow of sale. Hay in fair request. 
Hemp dull. Molasses little doing. JVaval Stores quiet. Provi¬ 
sions, Pork very firm. Hogs have advanced in Cincinnati, and 
ranged on the 12th ult. from $2 75 to $3 12|; up to this date 
135,000 had been killed, but it was thought the whole number of 
the season would fall much short of that of last year; Lard is very 
brisk, and large quantities going to England; the same with 
Cheese when found of a proper quality; Beef is dull. Rice of 
prime quality much wanted. Seeds in fair request. Sugar quiet. 
Recent letters from New Orleans represent the late crop as likely 
to be 160,000 hhds., notwithstanding the loss by frosts of full 
15,000 hhds. Tobacco without Interest. The Virginia crop is said 
to be short, and will not exceed 40,000 hhds. Wool not much 
doing. 
Money continues in good demand, the banks getting 6 per cent, 
capitalists 5 to 5|. On account of the low price of Cotton, the 
amount of sterling bills offering at this season is not as great as 
usual, so that specie continues to be remitted to Europe in mode¬ 
rate sums. Export of gold and silver from 1st of January last up 
to November 30th, $5,632,102. Import, $1,072,654. Export more 
than import, $4,559,448. 
Stocks of a good kind are firm and rising. 
The weather here is mild and delightful. At the South the same, 
and we notice that they are still in the enjoyment of green peas 
and corn from their gardens. __ 
FASTOLFF RASPBERRY. 
The subscriber has much pleasure in stating, that he can exe¬ 
cute orders for canes of the above highly valuable and much 
esteemed Raspberry, unequalled for the extraordinary size of its 
fruit, and richness of flavor. In England it is considered superior 
to all other varieties, and at various horticultural exhibitions, has 
carried off the prizes. Dr. Lindley’s opinion of it is thus express¬ 
ed “ We find it merits all that has been stated in favor of its 
excellence. The fruit is very large, obtusely conical, and of rich 
flavor. The plants bear abundantly, and in long succession.” 
It is scarcely necessary to recommend it more fully, or with 
greater confidence to the notice of the public. It continues in 
high perfection throughout the autumnal months, and requires no 
other treatment than that ordinarily bestowed on the older varie 
ties. 
Fine canes are ready for delivery, and can be sent with safety 
to any part of the United States, upon the following terms: 
Packages containing 25 canes, - - - - $8 00 
Do do 12 do, • - - - 5 00 
Single canes,. 50 
These plants are warranted the true Fastolff Raspberry; and as 
the stock is limited, early orders only can secure a few plants. 
Orders addressed to the undersigned will receive attention— 
and from unknown applicants, a remittance, or satisfactory refer 
fence is requested. M. J. HOWARD.
