New York Cattle Market—May 24. 
At market, 768 beef Cattle, fresh, (320 from the south,) 110 
Cows and Calves, and 465 Sheep. 
Prices. — Beef Cattle. —All at market but 30 taken at $5 a $7 50 
for retailing quantities, to $4 a $4 75 for ordinary and inferior. 
Cows and Calves. —Sales of 80 at $18 to $25 a $30. 
Sheep. —Sales at $1 75 to $2 50 a $4 50 for extra lots. Left, 30. 
Remarks. Ashes. Pots are in quick demand for export; 
Pearls the same. Cotton, notwithstanding the slight depression 
of the lower grades of this article in Europe, prices continue 
the same as at our last, and very little doing. Our accounts 
from the south are anything but flattering for the coming crop, 
and we again repeat to the planters, that, in consequence of 
this, the superabundance of money, and the gradual rise in other 
agricultural products, they ought not to submit to any further re¬ 
duction, in sales of what they may at present have on hand. Ex¬ 
ports from the United States since 1st September last, 1,737,074 
bales ; same time last year, 1,190,544 ; same time year before, 
1,039,339. Flour is scarce, and rather wanted. Grain, active; 
little or no Wheat in market. Molasses, firm. Naval Stores, the 
stock here principally on board ship, for export. Provisions. Pork, 
very little on hand ; prices have advanced, and there is a good de¬ 
mand for export. Beef is firm, and not much doing. Lard is 
rather dull. Butter and Cheese, the same. Rice, little demand. 
Sugar, active and prices rising. Tobacco, dull. Wool has ad¬ 
vanced. 
Business generally looks promising for the farmer and planter, 
and we have no doubt that the coming crops will be of quick sale, 
and at higher prices. Wheat generally is promising, although we 
hear of some suffering, south of us, from winter-kill, and the Hes¬ 
sian fly. The wire and cut-worms are at work among the corn, 
and have made a second planting, in a few instances, necessary. 
Grass looks well, and the spring crops are fairly got in. 
Money continues a real plethora, and good paper much sought 
after, and is done occasionally as low as 4 per cent. Specie con¬ 
tinues to flow in upon us by every European arrival. It is sup¬ 
posed that three millions at least have come in the past month, 
principally for investment on foreign account. 
Stocks, in a few instances, have advanced, and we are gratified 
to say, that they have at length taken a start in Europe, and 
New York stocks are quoted in England 2 to 3 per cent, higher 
than they were by our last advices. Our states have only to per¬ 
severe in providing for a regular payment of the interest, to bring 
up even the most depressed to par, or nearly so; a matter that 
they are bound, by every principle of honor and justice, to see 
done without delay.
