New York Cattle Market—April 24. 
At market, 630 head of Cattle, fresh, (490 from the south,) 75 
Cows and Calves, and 200 Sheep. 
Prices.—Beef Cattle remain in the same dull state noticed 
last week. We quote $4 50 a $6 50 as the range for good to 
prime ; ordinary to fair $3 50 a $4 ; 125 unsold. 
Cows and Calves.—S ales of 65 at $15 to $20 a $30, and dull. 
Sheep and Lambs.—A lt taken at $1 76 to $3 a $4 
com at the south has been cut off by the frosts, and must be re¬ 
planted. We fear that this may prove the same at the north this 
month ; and as the corn crop is a very important one with us, we 
hope that especial attention will be paid to the preparation of the 
ground, and the selecting of the earliest and best kinds of seed.

A. B. ALLEN, 205 Broadway. 
THE FAST-TROTTING HORSE BELL- 
FOUNDER 
Will remain at his old stand, Middletown, Butler Co., Ohio, 
the ensuing season. He is a bright blood bay, with black legs, 
mane, and tail; is 16 hands high, and weighs 1,200 lbs. He has 
trotted his mile in 2 m. 45 sec., and, as a roadster, is unequalled. 
Several of his colts, just beginning to appear, have proved equal 
to himself, and have sold from $150 to $1,200. This stock is well 
adapted to the saddle, road, or farm-work, and, for utility, nothing 
is superior to them. Address Dr. A. Campbell, as above. 
April, 1843.

ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE. 
Remarks. —Money is more abundant than ever, and good paper 
can be readily discounted for 4£ to 5 per cent. Stocks still ad¬ 
vancing. U. S. Loan 6 per cent. 1862, we now quote 112 to 113. 
Other good stocks have advanced in the same proportion. 
Cotton has advanced \ of a cent per lb., since the arrival of the 
Britannia, and an active business is now done in it—8250 bales 
were sold the past week. Flour and meal, in consequence of 
large expected arrivals on the opening of western navigation, are 
not so brisk. Wheat is scarce and much wanted—rye the same— 
other grain is plenty, and dull. Provisions generally in fair de¬ 
mand—choice mess beef much wanted. We are of opinion that 
prices will be maintained in most instances, and advance in others, 
and for further remarks on this subject, we refer to page 42 of this 
No. of our paper.
