At market, 1000 Beef Cattle, (700 from the south,) 110 Cows and 
Calves, and 570 Sheep and Lambs. 
Pkices. —Beef Cattle dull, and prices obtained with difficulty. 
We quote $4.50 a $5.25, to $5.50, a $6, with a few extra at 
$6.25 a $6.50—300 unsold. 
Cows and Calves .—All sold at $12 a $26. 
Sheep ,—The market cleared at $2 a $5, as in quality. 
Hay .—Supply large at 62£ a 68 cts. per cwt. loose. 
Remarks. —Ashes are in steady demand for exportation. Cot¬ 
ton has fallen about £ cent per lb. since the arrival of the Caledo¬ 
nia. Export from the United States since 1st September last, 
520,050 bales ; same time last year, 1,143,619 ; same time year be¬ 
fore, 748,421. Flour and Meal are firm, and a limited stock on 
hand. Grain of all kinds the same. Hay a large stock on hand, 
and dull sales. Hemp in good demand. Molasses and Sugar, the 
same. Naval Stores, in fair request, Beef and Pork of the bet¬ 
ter qualities, brisk—the receipts are large. Rice, dull. Seeds, 
especially clover, active and firm. Tobacco , dull. Wool, quiet. 
In other articles the change is so trifling, that they call for no par¬ 
ticular remark. 
Money is 4 to 5 per cent, on good paper; on bond and mortgage 
in the city 5 to 6 per cent., out of it, 7 per cent. It is now more in 
demand. 
Stocks have fluctuated some the past month, owing to the sup- 
oosed treaty with Texas ; they are at present on the rise. 
Real Estate, we notice increased sales at improved prices ; a 
good deal of building is now going on in the city and its vicinity. 
Business generally is very active, and opens unusually early. 
The weather has been uncommonly fine and warm during March, 
and the season very forward. We fear there may be a change in 
April for the jvorse. 
To Correspondents. —Communications the past month have 
been received from Leonard D. Clift, E. Carpenter, Alexander 
McDonald, Jno. M. C. Valk, T. C. Peters, A. Buckeye, J. H. 
Lyman, Henry Chorley, A Northern Farmer, Samuel F. Chris- 
tion, and Henry O’Reilly, Secretary of the New York State Agri¬ 
cultural Society, to whom we tender our thanks, for his polite 
invitation to be present at the executive committee meetings. Both 
Mr. O’R. and the sociecy may think themselves slighted by our not 
yet publishing his communications, and the list of premiums, &c. ; 
but the delay has been unavoidable. We go so early in the month 
to press, that we did not receive these in time for Feb. No., and 
our March and April columns were then bespoke for articles, which 
to have delayed, would have placed them out of season. We 
shall insert the State Society List, &c., in our next, and all other 
communications that we possibly can, without entrenching on other 
departments of the paper, which to ensure interest and variety to 
our periodical, we must not give up. We hope our correspondents 
will be patient, they shall see themselves in print in due course. 
To make room for these we have again thrown out several editori¬ 
als which ought to have had place ere this. 
A. B. will be answered by an article on White Beans in our 
next. It was written for this number but crowded out. 
W. T. We have been unable to procure the Silver Fir seed yet, 
notwithstanding the repeated promises of two seedsmen that we 
should not be disappointed this year. 
Acknowledgments.— To John A. Grimes of Harrodsburg, Ky., 
and Samuel F. Christion of Holley Springs, Miss., for beautiful 
samples of Saxony and Merino wool, showing that this staple arti¬ 
cle can be grown to great perfection both in the south and south¬ 
west.

and the more difficult questions, $5.
