Hew York Cattle Market—March 27 * 
At Market, 1,000 Beeves (660 from Pennsylvania); 100 Cows 
and Calves ; and 900 Sheep. 
Beeves.—T he advance of last week is fully sustained; and we 
quote to correspond—retailing cattle $5 75 a $6 75, with a very 
few extra, at $7 ; inferior to fair, $3 50 a $4 75. 100 unsold. 
Cows and Calves.—S ales of 90, at $15 a $20 to $25 a $30 
each, according to quality. 
Sheep.—A ll at Market taken at $1 25 a $2 25 to $3 50 a 
$6 50 for a few extra wethers. 
Remarks.— Money as abundant as ever, and specie a real 
drug—the Banks discounting all good paper that they can get hold 
of, at 5 to 6 per cent. Stocks of a first-rate character are still ad¬ 
vancing. U. S. loan, 6 percent., which was dull three months 
since at par, now sells readily at $107. New York 6 per cent, is 
•worth $103, and 7 per cent. $104. 
Cotton is very firm, notwithstanding the further decline of |d. 
in England. Instead of being 2,800,000 bales, as estimated early 
in the season, many thmk, now, the past year’s crop will not ex¬ 
ceed 2,500,000 bales.—Flour and Meal, we have quite a reduced 
stock throughout the States, and sales are effected at 12 to 25 
Cents per bbl. higher than last month. Grain, also, is scarce, and 
an advance has taken place.—Molasses is firm.—Provisions in good 
to $5 25

demand. It is estimated, that of the $2,000,000 worth of porK, 
bacon, and lard, put up at Cincinnati the past season, one fourth 
the amount was for the English and French markets direct.— 
Sugar is dull.—Tobacco quiet. 
The Spring, thus far, is the coldest and most backward within 
our recollection. Snow is still upon the ground all around, and 
we are apprehensive that the immense bodies of it at the north 
■will make late frosts, and endanger the coming corn crop. We 
advise the farmers to plant early varieties as much as possible, 
and hold on upon their produce for better prices ; for we can not 
expect the coming season to be as favorable as the past was. 
Business generally, upon the whole, looks more encouraging than 
it has for some time.
