New York Cattle ftlarket—December 11. 
At market, 900 beef Cattle, (200 from the south), 35 Cows and 
Calves, and 1500 Sheep and Lambs. 
P it ices.— Beef Cattle—' The market dull and declining, and we 
quote $4.25 a $4,50 to $5,00 a $5,25 for the best retailing. 150 
unsold. 
Cows and Calves ,—All taken at $18 a $29. 
Sheep and Lambs. —Sales of the latter at $1,12^ a $2,25, and of 
Sheep at 1,12£ to $4,50~ 150 unsold. 
if ay.—Sales at 5s. a 6s. per cwt. for loose. 
Remarks. — Ashes are dull, and the sales Unimportant. Coal , 
the same. Cotton , on the arrival of the Acadia, declined from } to 
| of a cent per lb. ; but the price since has been gradually recov¬ 
ering, and it is now the same as per our last. This rise has not 
taken place so much in consequence of the ascertained short crop, 
as from a general advance in most other agricultural products, 
manufactures, and labor; the abundance of money and low rate 
of interest also have their effect, and it seems to he the Settled 
opinion, that the price of cotton is more likely to advance during 
the season than recede, The transactions the p;ist week have been 
large, with a buoyant market. Export from the United States 
since September last, 140,306 bales ; same time last year, 220,862 ; 
same time year before, 163,845. Flour. —A steady business seems 
to be doing in this article, at a trifling reduction. Grain of all 
kinds in fair demand. Hay and Hemp dull. Lead, firm. Molas¬ 
ses and Sugar, little doing, and small stocks on hand. Naval 
Stores , -without change. Provisions of all kinds quiet. Rice, a 
little more active. Seeds, firm for the season. Tobacco dull. 
WooZ has increased in sales, and the foreign stock on hand has not 
been so light for several years. The prices are firm, and we are 
of opinion will gradually advance. 
Money is ranging from 2^ to 4 per cent., on good paper, and is 
plenty as usual. 
Stocks are very active, and about the same as our last—perhaps 
a slight advance. 
Business generally is brought to a close, and has been an uncom¬ 
monly good one the past season. 
Hogs. —At Cincinnati the price has rather advanced With¬ 
in a few days ; and this, taken in connexion with a considerable 
advance in cooperage and freights, has rendered buyers somewhat 
inclined to hold off a while. A fair quotation now for good light 
hogs is $2,30 a 2,40, though we heard of one sale on Friday, a 
small lot, at $2,00. Fair figures for the heavier descriptions, are 
$2,50 a 2,75 ; a large lot, however, averaging between 260 and 270 
lbs., was sold at $2,70. Some two or three packing houses did a 
very heavy business last week, but the aggregate packed was we 
think considerably less than during any other week since opera¬ 
tions fairly commenced. 
Answer to Correspondents.— G. S. T. The price of the 
fowls you inquire about, is $3 per pair, in coop, delivered here. 
Any number of birds over, $1 each. 
W. T. We have sent on to Boston to get cranberry sod, and sil¬ 
ver fir-seed, but have no answer yet. Our directions were, to 
ship the box to Messrs. J. H. & R. A. G., via New Orleans. 
F. N.. will find himself answered about cream frothing, page 
360. A Squatter, is answered page 354.
