New York Cattle Market—Jan. 30. 
At Market, 3050 Beef Cattle, (400 from Penn.,) 50 Cows and 
Calves, and 1400 Sheep. 
Prices —Beef Cattle have sold at a less price than last week’s 
quotations, and we quote at $3 50 a 4 50, for ordinary to fair, to 
$5 a 6 for prime. Market dull and 300 unsold. 
Cows and Calves.—P rices range very wide, from $16 to 36, 
with occasional sales at $35. 10 unsold- 
Sheep and Lambs.— All at market but 100 taken at $1 25 a 4, 
with a few lots as high as 4 50. 
Hay —Prices rale very low, and 56 cents is the top of th mar¬ 
ket. Prices range from 42 to 56 cts, per cwt. 
Remarks. —Since the late news from Europe, a large and active 
business has been done in cotton, but in consequence of freights ris¬ 
ing, a trifling reduction of one-eighth has been submitted to in a few 
instances by holders. In Provisions generally few sales are effect¬ 
ed at this present moment; holders seem to be waiting further ad¬ 
vices from abroad, confident that there must be a slight rise. Flour 
and grain are dull in the extreme, and the few sales lately made 
were a little below last months quotations. 
Money is very abundant, and Specie still accumulating in our 
Banks—Stocks have continued gradually to advance. The balance 
of the U. S. six per cent loan $5,700,060 has been taken in this city 
since the 1st of Jan., and it is supposed that it will be above par 
within six months.. Dew Rotted Hemp is quoted in Louisville, 
Ky. at $3 to 3 50 per cwt. Water Rotted $3 to $7 according to 
quality. 187,000 hogs had been killed at Cincinnati up to the 20th 
Jan. But notwithstanding this great number, the market for pork 
remained firm at from $1 75 to 2 12§ per J 00 lbs. 
The quantity of India Cotton imported into Liverpool in 1840, 
was 109,000; in 1841,162,000; and in 1842, 169,800 bales. 
H7” c To Subscribers. —Our edition of the January 
No. of the American Agriculturist is entirely exhaust¬ 
ed ; but as the work is Stereotyped, we shall put a 
second edition to press next week, so that if our sub¬ 
scribers are not as promptly served as they anticipated, 
they will not be obliged to wait long. 
We shall print double the usual number of copies for 
February, and trust that the desire for our paper among 
our friends will enable us to go on doubling , till we 
have a circulation of Twenty Thousand. Great im¬ 
provements are in progress. 
ED 2 * Terms. — Ten cents for single numbers— 
Fifty cents for Six—and One Dollar for any Twelve 
numbers, or a Volume Complete. Three copies for 
Two Dollars. 
H7" Remit through Postmasters, as the Lavv allows.

MENDHAM, morris county, new JERSEY,- 
Will be prepared, the coming Spring, to execute orders for tho¬ 
rough bred Berkshire Pigs, from the imported boar Hagbourn, and 
a superior boar of Windsor Castle family, and fifteen choice sows,

vertiser’s residence b eing but half a day’s journey from New Y ork.
