New York Cattle Market—August 28. 
At market, 500 beef Cattle, fresh, (150 southern,) 30 Cows and 
Calves, and 300 Sheep and Lambs. 
PitiCEs. — Beef Cattle. —In consequence of the rains, the offer¬ 
ings have been very Small, and prices of last week very readily 
paid, with-occasipH ally an advance, which, however, Was not long 
sustained. Sales at $3 75 a $5 to $5 75 and $0 for prime Cattle. 
Cows and CaUes.— All taken at $16 to $25. 
Sheep and Lambs. —The market was cleared at $1 25 a $3 for 
Sheep, and Lambs from $1 12* to $2 25. 
Hay. —Sales at. 62| a 68 per cwt. for loose, by the load. 
Remarks. Ashes still continue in active demand for export. 
Coal is in request, and a light stock on hand. Cotton has advanced 
altogether the past month, from * to f'of a cent per lb., and it still 
has an upward tendency, with an active business doing in it. Ac¬ 
cording to our best advices, the crop will undoubtedly fall short of 
that of last year, at least 300,000 bales. This is owing to the cold, 
.backward spring, the overflow of the Mississippi and some of its 
tributaries, and the deluging rains the past summer. Exports 
since 1st September last j-ear, 2,000,769 bales ; same time las' - 
year, 1,454,296; same time year before, 1,306,806. Flour, consid 
erable quantities have been shipped recently to England ; the ten¬ 
dency of prices, however, at this moment, is downward, nor can 
they be maintained unless the present wheat crop prove a short one 
abroad. Grain, a fair business is doing in all kinds. Corn scarce and 
advancing. Hay, there is a prospect of advance ; the crop has proved 
quite short m this vicinity. Molasses and Sugar are firm and 
pi ices still upward. Naval Stores in good Remand. Spirits Tur¬ 
pentine scarce. Provisions of all kinds are in request, and the old 
stocks on hand nothing like as heavy as last year at this time. 
We think the Beef and Pork markets will open well at the west 
this season. Ride without change. Tobacco firm, with an up¬ 
ward tendency. Wool, large sales. We see little alteration in 
prices since our last, when we stated that it had risen full 25 per 
cent, since May. 
Mondf, 3 to 4 percent, on good paper, 6 to 7 per cent, on bond 
and mortgage. It is just as plenty as ever, and it is reckoned 
there are full twelve millions lying in banks in this city waiting 
investment. 
Stocks are generally advancing, and we think all good ones will 
coutinue to do so for some months yet. Money is worth only 1 to 
2 per cent, at present in England, and we are of opinion under 
these circumstances prejudice will give way, and first class Amer¬ 
ican stocks again find favor abroad. 
Crops. —The rain has been abundant the past month, and grass 
and fall crops are looking extremely well. All summer crops have 
been a good average taking the country through, especially in 
wheat and the small grains. • 
Business generally is very good ; the fall season opening with 
great activity, and our city crowded with customers. We see no 
further reason for a complaint of hard times—the future never 
appeared to us more auspicious.

CHEAP CASH BOOKSTORE, 
205 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. 
Saxton & Miles, Publishers, and dealers in Books in every de 
partment of Literature, at very reduced prices for cash. 
S. & M. publish the following Book, which should be in every 
family in the United States: GUNN’S DOMESTIC MEDICINE, 
or the Poor Man’s Friend. 
Among the many publications of more than doubtful utility, with 
which our presses groan, it is pleasant to offer to the public one 
which, while it can not injure the mental and moral powers, is ca¬ 
pable of improving our health and prolonging our days. It is 
now about ten years since this work was first published, since 
which time it has passed through many large editions, and the 
astonishing number of one hundred thousand copies has been sold 
in the southern and western states, and the demand is increasing. 
It has just been revised and corrected, containing 900 pages, and 
executed in superior style. People maybe disposed to smile when 
we tell them that they can save money by purchasing this book, 
but we think we can satisfy them that such is the fact. In every 
family more or less is paid yearly for doctor’s bills. A child is 
taken with a fever, or some other complaint, and from ignorance 
nothing is or can be done effectually to check it. The physician 
is called, and a large bill is contracted; whereas, had Gunn’s 
Domestic Medicine been on hand, a remedy could easily have 
been found which would have checked the disease in its first stage, 
and not only have saved tho purse, but perhaps the life.
