New York Cattle Market—February 19. 
At market, 1050 Beef Cattle, 165 Cows and Calves, and 600 
Sheep. 
Pkices. — Beef Cattle —We quote to correspond with last week, 
viz. $4.50 a $5, to $5.50, a $6, with a few extra, at $6.25 a $6.50. 
250 unsold. 
Cows and Calves.-—' There were 140 sold at $15 a $26 each. 
Sheep and Lambs. —The market was cleared at $1.75 a $3.50 
each, according- to quality. 
Hay. —A good supply of loose at 624 a 75 cents per 100 lbs. 
Remarks. — Ashes are dull of sale. Cotton , notwithstanding the 
late rise in England, and unprecedentedly large sales, has declined 
j of a cent per lb., since the arrival of the Hibernia. The reason 
of this is, that our market is still higher than that of Europe, and 
shippers have now made up their minds that the article must go for¬ 
ward. Export from the United States since 1st September last, 
392,058 bales ; same time last year, 892,136 ; same time year be¬ 
fore, 574,168. Flour and Meal are held firm, but little doing. 
Grain of all kinds in fair request. Hay is dull. Hemp is more 
firm, with an upward tendency, since the late speculations in 
Manilla. Molasses has a downward look. Naval Stores , moderate 
sales. Beef and Pork, move slowly. Lard is more brisk. Rice, 
Seeds, Sugar, Tallow, and Tobacco, small transactions at present. 
Wool continues on the rise, and is in good demand. 
Money is as plenty as ever again, and good bills are discounted 
at 3£ to 4 per cent., and it can be had on bond and mortgage in the 
city at 5 to 6 per cent.; out of the city, in the state, 7 per cent, is 
readily paid ; but very few of our capitalists seem willing to lend 
at that. Money from this city, out of the state, can not be had at 
any price, so distrustful are our capitalists of foreign laws and se¬ 
curities. 
Stocks are slightly on the advance again. 
Business generally is opening brisk this spring, and all kinds of 
merchandise are on the rise. 
Real Estate is getting more and more in demand, and rents, es¬ 
pecially for good business locations, greatly advanced. 
The weather is very mild for the season, and the winter has been 
much as we anticipated, page 267 of our last vol. We think we 
could give a pretty shrewd guess as to what the present spring 
will be, but we do not care to further risk our prophetic reputation. 
Everything on the whole appears extremely promising, and we 
anticipate a long and prosperous career for the country.

CHARLES STARR, Jr., 
MENDHAM, MORRIS COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, 
Is prepared to execute all orders for thorough-bred Berkshire 
Pigs, from the imported boar Hagboum, and a superior Boar of 
Windsor-castle family, and fifteen choice sows, lately procured 
from A. B. Allen, of Buffalo, New York. 
Pigs from this superior stock, from 2 to 3 months old, will be 
delivered, well caged, on shipboard, at New York, for $25 to $30 
per pair. Feed furnished, when desired, at $3 per barrel. 
Persons desiring either pigs or full-grown animals, can be sup¬ 
plied with all the advantages of Mr. Allen’s stock at Buffalo, with¬ 
out incurring the risk and cost of canal transportation—-the adver¬ 
tiser’s residence being but half a day’s journey from New York, 
Woburn pigs of a superior quality also for sale, caged and de¬ 
livered as above, for $25 per pair.
