New York Cattle Market—April 22. 
At market, 1,000 Beef Cattle, (400 southern,) 160 Cows and 
Calves, and 300 Sheep. 
Pkices. — Beef Cattle. —In consequence of large offerings of 
rather poor quality, prices have farther receded, and we quote 
$4.50 to $5, a $5.25, to $ 6 , with a few only at $6.25. 200 left over. 
Cows and Calves.—Sales at $12 a $28. 10 left over. 
Sheep were very dull of sale at $2.50 a $5. 100 left over. 
Hay 56 a 62^ cts. per cwt. for loose. 
Remarks. — Ashes. The quantity of these in market is small, 
and prices firm. Cotton. The late news from England, giving ad¬ 
vices of a considerable decline there, and that the stock on hand at 
Liverpool on the 1 st of April was 629,000 bales, against 658,000 
same time last season, has had quite an effect upon this market, 
and sales have taken place at § to 4 cent lower than previous to 
the arrival of the Acadia. Whether this reduction will continue to 
be submitted to by holders, remains to be seen. Export from the 
United States since 1 st September last, 835,409 bales ; same time 
last year, 1,476,470; same time year before, 995,587. Flour. 
Large supplies being soon expected in market, it is now dull. Rye 
Flour is scarce. Corn-Meal steady. Grain of all kinds in good de¬ 
mand. Wheat scarce. Hay is very dull and large supplies pres¬ 
sing upon the market. Hemp rather more inquiry. Molasses 
firm. Naval Stores the same. Pork has improved. Beef dull. 
Lard, Butter and Cheese, in good request. Rice inactive. Seeds. 
The season for these is nearly over, and little inquiry. Sugar, 
dull. Tobacco quite active. 
Money is more in demand ; short paper is done at 5 per cent., and 
long at 6 ; loans on real estate at 6 to 7 per cent. 
Stocks are steady, without much change. 
Business generally is remarkably good, and so much has not boon 
done in this city since the spring of ’36. 
The weather the past month has been very favorable, and the 
crops of all kinds forward and looking well. 
HoVEY’S SEEDLING STRAWBERRY. 
The subscriber offers the above Seedling Strawberry for sale at 
$1,00 for sixty plants, or $1,50 per hundred. The growing plants 
can be seen at his office, 205 Broadway. A. B. ALLEN. 
WARREN’S IMPROVED"HORSEPOWERS'" 
AND THRESHING MACHINES. 
The subscribers continue to manufacture and vend these celebra¬ 
ted machines, with increased success and satisfaction. They will 
also manufacture a superior Four Horse Power and Thresher on 
the same principle this season, to sell together for only $100. The 
price of the Two Horse Power and Thresher together, is only $75. 
The Two Horse Power alone, $50. The Four Horse Power will 
be proportionable. Machines deliverable in this city for cash. 
Besides our Beater Threshing Machine, we are making a su¬ 
perior Spike Thresher, adapted to be used with any power. This 
we shall sell at the same price. It has been tested and proved to 
be excellent and safe. L. BOSTWICK & CO.,
