New York Cattle Market—December 25* 
At market, 700 beef Cattle, (100 southern), 30 Cows and Calves, 
and 1000 Sheep and Lambs. 
Prices— Beef Cattle-^lti consequence of a small supply, we 
have to note an advance-^retailing qualities $4.25 a 75 to $5.25 a 
50, with sales of extra at $6-=-20O unsold. 
Cows and Calves.— All taken at $16 a $26. 
Sheep and Lambs. —All taken at $1.25 a $4.50 as in quality. 
Hay. —At the close of our report the supplies are scanty; sales 
at 75c. per cWt. for loose. 
REMARKS. — Ashes are in fait request. Cotton is brisk, with a 
very active demand, and although our prices are above what the 
English market will warrant, they Still have an upward tendency, 
from the fact that we know the deficit of a short crop, and can bet¬ 
ter calculate than Europeans, the prospects on an advance. Ex¬ 
ports from the United States since 1st September last. 172,314 
bales ; same time last year, 269,298; same time year before, 
198,161. Flour and Meal are in fair demand. Of the former it is 
ascertained that there are about 400,000 bis. in store in this city. 
Grain of all descriptions in moderate request. Hay , there is none 
afloat, and what is in store is held above the views of shippers 
Molasses heavy. Naval Stores have a downward tendency. Beef, 
Pork, and Lard at this moment are quite dull. Rice has come 
more into demand. Seeds continue firm. Sugar rather sought 
after. Tobacco, considerable sales. Woo? is very active, and sales 
increasing, especially in the middle qualities. Dressed Hogs; $4,50 
to $5.00 ; at Cincinnati, $2.25 to $2.87. Black-Eyed Peas, $1.38 
per bushel. Money is rather more in demand. No material alter 
ation in rates. 
Real Estate is fast coming into request. 
Stocks are without change. 
Answer to Correspondents. —J. H. H. We shall request 
some of our Virginia friends to answer your inquiries. They can 
do it better than we. 
M. L. S. Will you be so good as to forward us, by private con* 
veyance, a small quantity of blue sedge-grass seed. We mean the 
tall, nutricious grass, of the barrens ; at the same time send us ita 
botanical name, and a description, and some of the dried grass it* 
self, full length. 
The Dollar Farmer will please direct us an extra copy beginning 
with its present volume. We wish to send it to a subscriber in 
England. Shall we send cash for this, or an extra copy of our 
paper in exchange ? 
T. H. The sheep shall be attended to, and we will write you 
soon about Devons. 
To English Correspondents.—Our postages are as exorbitant, 
nearly, as your own, previous to the penny system being intro* 
duced into Great Britain, and if a letter contains four pieces, al¬ 
though the whole of them may not weigh as much as a letter- 
sheet, it is taxed full postage on every piece it contains, which 
would be quadruple in this instance. In writing to Ameiica, till 
our oppressive Post-Office law is changed, always use a single 
sheet, without an envelope. Printed matter send by itself, done up 
as near newspaper form as possible. Messrs. Wiley & Putnam arc 
our agents in London, and will forward books, pamphlets, &c., at 
a small cost in their packages. 
D. B. Birney, A. S., James H. Hepburn, F. J. Betts, S. S., J. J, 
McCaughan, J. H. Lyman, and Wm. H. Sotham, will appear in 
our next. Although the latter’s communication was dated the 6th 
of Dec., it did not reach us till the 25th—of course too late for this 
number. 
HOVEY’S HORTICULTURAL MAGAZINE, 
We have recently been appointed agents for this periodical, 
justly considered the most valuable of its kind in the United 
States. Any person subscribing through us will be promptly 
served, and we invite all interested in this subject to call and

For any of the above works, or periodicals, or books of any kind, 
address SAXTON & MILES, 205 Broadway.

CASH FOR A FARM NEAR NEW YORK. 
A Farm wanted near New York, of 50 to 100 acres. It must 
have an attractive location, be easy of access to the city, and pos 
sess a good soil. One that has not expensive buildings on it 
would be preferred. Address the Editor of this paper, or box 354, 
lower Post Office, with general description, and stating where an
