New York Cattle Market—Aug. 26. 
At market, 900 Beef Cattle, 140 Cows and Calves, and 3000 
Sheep and Lambs. 
Pkices .—Beef Cattle —The market last week was rather more 
spirited than the week preceding, without, however, any advance 
in prices. We resume our former quotations, $4 25 for inferior, 
and $5 a 5.50 for prime qualities. About 200 left over. 
Cows and Calves .—All at market sold, at $13 a 25. 
Sheep and Lambs .—Sheep $1.37 a $4 ; Lambs $1 a $3, a slight 
advance—all sold. 
Remarks. —Ashes are in fair request. Cotton —directly after 
the arrival of the Acadia, holders were more firm for a few days, 
but are now ready to sell at a slight reduction. Export from the 
United States since 1st September last, 1,602,619 bales ; same time 
last year, 2,000,769 : same time year before, 1,454,296. Flour and 
Meal are steady. Grain of all kinds brisk. Hoy more in demand. 
Hemp the same. Molasses quite firm. Naval Stores improving. 
Provisions, with the exception of Beef, more inquired after. Rice 
has advanced and is brisk of sale. Seeds, especially Timothy, have 
an upward tendency. Tobacco in fair request. Woolis firm and 
prices rather on the rise, the finer grades especially. 
Money continues at 5 to 6 per cent, on paper, and 6 to 7 per cent, 
on bond and mortgage. 
Stocks. Not much has been done the past month, as many of 
our monied men are absent from the city during August. All those 
of a good kind are held firm. 
Business generally is very active, and the daily transactions large. 
The weather has been showery during the past month ; but upon 
the whole, may be considered as favorable, especially to the grass. 
Roots and late Oats have suffered some from an excess of moisture. 
The Corn is looking well generally ; the stalks have a good growth, 
and the ears are abundant and well filled. Rice, Cotton, Sugar, 
Hemp, and Tobacco, are ripening uncommonly early, and promise 
to be heavy crops. The former is already nearly harvested. The 
summer, taking everything into consideration, has been highly fa¬ 
vorable ; and with the exception of the disastrous floods South and 
West, there have been few losses. The growth of crops has been 
very rapid, and as far as secured they have proved more than an 
average yield. 
ICHABOE GUANO. 
The subscribers have received by a late arrival from Liverpool, 
a few hundred weight, of this superior guano, pure as imported from 
Africa, being taken direct out of the ship Clydesdale, arrived at Liv¬ 
erpool docks. A writer in the London Gardener’s Gazette, June 8, 
1844, remarks : “The competition for this guano in the colonial 
market was so great, that two cargoes were sold in about twenty 
minutes. The desire for Ichaboe guano has arisen from the fact 
that all the eminent chemists who have analyzed it, found it to pos¬ 
sess the fertilizing properties in the highest degree : and the result 
of its application by practical agriculturists have proved the cor¬ 
rectness of their analysis. This island (Ichaboe) on the western 
coast of Africa, which three years since was unknown, is about a 
mile and a half in circumference, and is deeply covered with guano, 
the deposite of sea-birds that have for ages remained undisturbed 
in their possession.” 
Price $6 per hundred pounds, or $1 for 16 pounds, (which is suf¬ 
ficient for 40 gallons of water,) put up in neat boxes; also 7 lb. 
boxes for 50 cents. It should be applied in a liquid state, and im¬ 
mediately alter a rain. A liberal watering with this liquid once a 
fortnight is sufficient for vegetables, Indian corn, potatoes and tur- 
neps, and once a week for flowers in pots, and dahlias, tuberoses, 
and chrysathemums. 
Also, the best of Artificial Guano, made from an exact analysis 
of the real, in boxes of 20 lbs., at $1 per box; or 10 lbs. for 50 cts.

PREMIUM EAGLE, SUBSOIL, AND OTHER 
PLOWS. 
The subscriber having been appointed agent in this city for the 
sale of the celebrated Premium Plows, made by Ruggles, Nourse, 
& Mason, of Worcester, Massachusetts, now offers them at the 
manufacturers’ home prices. They are calculated alike for the 
northern farmer and southern planter, and embrace every variety. 
Cotton and Rice plow, Stubble, Sod, Road, and Subsoil. Prices 
from $3,50 to $15,00, according to the kind. 
The great number of premiums which these plows have obtained 
at the most important plowing-matches, and the universal satisfac¬ 
tion they have given wherever introduced, render it unnecessary to 
particularise their merits. They are made of the best materials, 
are highly finished, and combine light weight and easy draught, 
with great strength and durability.
