At Market, 1300 Beef Cattle (350 from the South), 75 Cows and 
Calves, and 2500 Sheep and Lambs. 
Prices. —Beef Cattle—An active demand has prevailed,during 
Jhe week, without, however, any material variation in price, 
which, for inferior and middling qualities, may be quoted at 
$4.50a$5.00 and $5.50 and $6 25 for good and prime; though a 
small lot on Saturday, brought $6.50. 200 left over. 
Cows and Calves. —All at market taken at prices ranging 
according to quality, from $15 to $30 
Sheep and Lambs. —We quote $1 25a$3.50. A few extra a< 
$6. All sold. 
Loose Hay—I s held at $1.12£ and considerable sales making. 
Remarks.— wishes quiet. Cotton is dull at a reduction of 1 of a 
cent per lb. Export since 1st September last, 328,698 bales ; 
same time last year, 377,768; same time year before, 209,580 
Fiiour dull, at a great reduction of prices. The large advance las* 
mo'nth was totally unjustified, and was got up mainly by a corn 
bination of speculators on both sides of the water. W heat ant 
most kinds of grain have fallen, but are in good demand. Hay 
brisk. Naval Stores firm. Provisions of all kinds in fair request 
Molasses, Sugar, Rice, and Tobacco, little change. Wool rathei 
stagnant. 
Money continues scarce, and is difficult to be had at legal rate* 
except on the best paper. 
Stocks much depressed on account of the Oregon WAR— vide¬ 
licet —the political humbug and terror of the day. 
The Weather for most of the month has been of the snug win¬ 
ter kind Such late crops as have remained out at the south hava 
been well husbanded, and the year’s business on the whole nfc* 
be considered highly advantageous to the Farmer and Planter. 
Transactions of the N. Y. State Ag. Society. —The 
answer of “ A Member” to an article in the December No of the 
Cultivator came to hand too late for the January No. ; I have 
therefore issued it in an Extra, published by myself, i 
respectfully call the attention of all candid persons to it, 
as the writer makes out a strong case against the editor of 
the Cultivator on one point. What he will have to say on 
others I have no means of knowing. By his request I have 
issued a large edition that his friends can have it gratis, in any 
quantity, for distribution. I recommend their circulating it 
extensively in every direction, the more especially since myself 
and Saxton & Miles have become the innocent victims of vexa¬ 
tious suits, simply because I dare to be INDEPENDENT and 
HONORABLE in my conduct. A. B. ALLEN. 
CHEAP PEOWS FOR THE SOUTH. 
These plows are made in a far superior manner to any of tht 
same kind ever sent from this market. The woods are of weL 
selected white oak, and got out by Patent Machinery, and are all 
exactly alike, so that if one part wears out, or gets broken, it can 
be instantly replaced by a duplicate. It is the same also with 
the iron parts. The whole material of these plows is warranted 
of a superior kind.
