Kerv York Cattle Market—October 30. 
At market, 1,150 beef Cattle, (150 southern), 35 Cows and Calves, 
and 2,850 Sheep and Lambs. 
Prices. — Beef Cattle were very dull of sale, and a decline of 
full 50 cents per cwt. submitted to, and we quote otdinary to good! 
cattle $4 a $4 50, with occasional sales at $5. 600 unsold. 
Cows and Calves. —All taken at $18 a $25 to $28 50. 
Sheep and Lambs. —Sales of 2,500 at $1 a $2 37* for Lambs,-and 
f-1- 25 a $4 for Sheep, as in quality. 
Remarks. — Ashes. These are in fair demand, and considerable 
activity maintained in exports. Cotton. The news of an advance 
in England of *d, per the Hibernia; had no effect oa-thiS'inaiket, 
the article having risen in anticipation some time before ; but the 
injury by early frosts at the south, has had the effect of raising it 
to-day * cent per lb., at which advance large sales were made. 
Exports from the United States since 1st September last, 11,320 
bales ; same time last year, 37,593 ; same time year before, 37,759. 
It is now thought that the crop of this year can not more than 
two thirds equal that of the last. Flour has advanced a trifle since 
our last; it is doubtful, however, whether this can be maintained 
any length of time. A tolerably active business is doing in the 
article. Grain. Wheat is far from being plenty, and is taken at 
a small advance as fast as it arrives. Corn, Rye, and Oats, in 
gooff request. American Hemp is scarce, and is held at an 
advance. Molasses continues depressed ; Rice and Sugar very 
firm. Naval Stores quick, at a small advance. Plaster of 
Paris, scarce and wanted. Provisions, on the whole very little 
change ; if anything, they haver a downward tendency, with the 
exception of Lard. The western farmer need not fear turning 
too much of his pork into lard this year; it will all sell at good 
prices. Stearins. There has been a sale of 2,500 lbs. of this 
article at 6§ cents. Hogs. A heavy contract of 500, of average 
quality, at 2* cents per lb., has been made in Cincinnati; hu* 
this is not considered as establishing the price for the season 
Our opinion is, that pork will rule as high as 3 cents for first 
quality, and our advice to the fanners is not to take less. To - 
bacco. The low-priced qualities are in good demand ; others dull. 
Stocks have advanced a tiitle since our last. 
Money. The banks arc endeavoring to get the rate up to 6 
per cent., but have not succeeded to any extent yet. As the in¬ 
creased amount of paper given on the business transactions of 
the season matures, we are of opinion the value of money will 
rise, and that it can not be had much longer for less than 6 to 
7 per cent. A few new private hanks have been recently started, 
and others are in contemplation. 
To Correspondents. —John Lewis, A Learner, R. A. Avery, 
II. D. Grove, Win. Partridge, and R. L. Allen, are received, and 
will find place in our next. 
C. M. G., Your questions about sheep, wool, &c., are an 
svvered in back Nos. of our paper, which we have sent you. 
G. S. Both you i self and M. B. are sent samples of Rambouillet 
wool in the manner desired. Our publishers have not received 
subscription spoken of, from G. S., either for last year or this. If 
sent, please state conveyance. The Bellevue Talevera wheat is 
not as good as Gen. Harmon’s White Flint, for our climate, and it 
would cost four times as much. See Vol. I., page 344, of this paper. 
W. C. A seedsman of this city has sent to Germany for Spurrey, 
and will supply you in March. 
A Farmer. Your communication is a mere advertisement, and 
inadmissable except as such. 
J. C. Your Herd-Book just received from England, is sent as 
directed. 
The Prairie Farmer, and Dollar Farmer, will each please send 
a copy of their journal to R. L. Allen, Buffalo, and we will pay 
them by a bound volume of ours at the end of the year. Com¬ 
mence with all the Nos. of current Volume. The P. F. may omit 
its cover. One copy only of their paper need be sent to this 
office. 
Will the writer of Taking the Census in Alabama, favor us 
with an article on Southern Farming? We will reciprocate the 
favor as he may please to designate. 
B3LACK GALLOWAY CATTEE. 
A pure-bred imported cow, and a hull of the Galloway or 
Kyloe breed of Scotch Highland cattle, are for sale in this viein 
ity. These animals are very fine of their kind, and were chosen 
from one of the most celebrated breeders of this stock in Scotland. 
The cow took several prizes at the agricultural shows before being 
shipped to this country, and gives a superior quality of milk. The 
bull is quite equal to the cow, and they will he sold at a reasonable 
price. 
Apply, post paid, to the Editor of this paper.

Superior cows and great milkers, of the Ayrshire and Yorkshire 
stock, recently imported from Scotland and England, can be had 
on reasonable terms. They are in the vicinity of this city, and can
